Although it may sound a bit "preachy," I really feel that society has become somewhat pathological. Money seems to have become the only standard by which people are measured, and everyone is desperately chasing wealth, as if without money, you have no value. Meanwhile, the things that should be most cherished—character, sincerity, effort—are being pushed to the sidelines. People are so focused on counting their money that they forget what truly matters: how they live and the kind of person they become.
Don't forget, money is just a bonus that comes after the realization of self-worth.
You should know that without money, you may not be privileged to do so many important things and also provide your needs. Money plays an important role in our every day life. What matters is that when you have, you are able to control yourself and save for the future. Alot of rich people later end up broke, as a result of not being able to minimise their spending. The society again, sometimes describes you with how modest you are. Weather rich or poor, you are going to still find yourself in one of those areas.
