Money:
What Does It Mean To You? “Money is a guarantee that we may have what we want in the future. Though we need nothing at the moment it insures the possibility of satisfying a new desire when it arises.” - Aristotle How much money do you think you need to consider yourself successful? How many people ask themselves that question at any point in their lives? It is said that money cannot buy happiness, but it can certainly make someone’s life a lot easier especially when the bills are due at the end of the month and your bank balance is heaving under the weight of those bills! Aristotle was probably right when he said we don’t need the money instantly, but the possibility of having it, and having lots of it, is what drives people to play that elusive thing called the lottery. Money is a necessary commodity. However, in the search for it, people have allowed their
social circumstances and wants to overtake their moral compass. We live in a society that judges success by the house you own, the car you drive and how much money you appear to have. Your social status is determined by how many material goods you have acquired, the bling lifestyle. “Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.” - Ayn Rand, RussianAmerican, Novelist-Philosopher. People believe that if they have money, their lives will be different. It’s the possibility of what could be that makes people view money in the light they do. For most, it offers the opportunity to escape the 9-5 life, be more entrepreneurial, to live the dream!
