Yes, money is very much important. Not having it is a recipe for sadness or whataview. However, there are poor folks who doesn't had issues with their health. They could be poor but not battling with their health

There are rich folks who had health related issues and their money was used to combat it for the time being. Some didn't survived it despite the money but the money probably helped prolong it

I mean money isn't synonymous to sound health neither do poverty translate to ill health

In a nutshell, the rich folks will have the opportunity to tackle the health issues with money unlike poor folks who probably will lose their life quickly
I agree with a ll you said, But in a nutshell, when you are broke life is against you. If you come from a broke home and now you living average you will understand what I really mean. There is a big difference between people who pay for extra classes for their kids and those who cant afford it.There is a bigger difference btw drinking garri with salt and drinking garri with sugar Bro.If not for desperation to get money tell me why anyone should dig a house foundation by hand in Enugu state.

All those things you highlighted requires money. You need money to be in good health, cos you have to eat healthy diet to be in good health.
You need money to keep and make family members happy, cos no one will respect or regard you if you don't show them love with money.
You need money to have peace of mind, cos when the bills start coming your brain is calculating on how to settle those bills.
Stop hyping nonsense to prove a point.

As a Christian our sins are forgiven once confessed

1 John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

I beg to differ. A sinner is a sinner. When you confess, did you hear any voice saying you're forgiven? You deceive yourself that you're forgiven, then go again and keep sinning and confessing, repeating the cycle and assuming you'll go to Greek Heaven one day for regular confession. My friend, you're a sinner, and you won't continue sinning and confessing if you're saved from sin.

Money does not guarantee good health, otherwise Steve Job, that Apple man for no die. Sicknesses like cancer, slowpoke, blindness, etc, can hardly be reversed by money except God intervene.
No sane man who is rich and suffering from cancer to the point of death, will not trade away all those riches in other to be alive.
Those hyping money being everything is because they are poor. When you are rich, you will eventually realise that good health and a sound mind are God 's best gift.

Poverty is bad no dispute about that. Anyone who claimed poverty isn't bad need to be checked. Poverty would deprived one lots of things and render one completely useless

I remember the day i went for a check up and the doctor asked me between money and good health which is more important? I told her good health and the white lady female doctor smiled and said , you need money to have a good health.
You would have asked her: Then why is Steve Jobs dead?

Very true

Happy new year everyone.

Money is sweet and all the daily struggles of life from going to school to learning a skill or taking a professional course or learning a trade is all to one goal; to make money and plenty of it. However in the cause of searching for this golden treasure, we often forget some things that taste better than money.

1. Good health:

The day you lose your health is the day you will realise that being in good health is the most important thing in life. There are wealthy people in poor state of health that wish they could trade their entire riches for a good health. If you can sleep and wake up without pills, eat and excrete, breath in and exhale, walk, run and jump. Having your internal and external organs functioning perfectly. You don't know the treasure you have

2. Family

When you wake, you have your loved ones no matter where they are in good condition, you have your parents in good state, it could be your spouse, your children or siblings. You have a people to lean on when in trouble and laugh together in victory. If you have these, you dont know how many people envy you quietly. Don't wait till you lose it before you realise

3. Peace of mind

Mental health, being emotionally and psychologically sound. Nothing beats these things. You aren't suffering any police case, you aren't a suspect of robbery, murder or fraud. Nobody is chasing your life. You are not running from bitter enemies. You not being set up. Not a victim of circumstances and disasters. Those suffering these abandon their dreams of chasing money to running to and fro the earth looking for peace.

Once again, I wish you a successful 2022, live the life and enjoy every moment.
And for those who might be suffering any of he above, I wish you a better year 2022, good health, peace of mind and a happy family plus more money.

Like the curious case of Benjamin button, each year will come and go, enjoy the moment, live a life you are proud of and if at any moment you aren't happy with the choices you made, I hope you have the strength to start all over again and stay happy.

i want to ask you a question? was money poured into covid 19 last year (banks, churches, wealthy footballers and individuals) donated.

they also spend money on vaccines, facemaks, and santizer. and a lot of them are always on facemasks,

yet, i've read lots of wealthy inviduals in the news catching it, which i'm yet, to see anyone that knows anyone in any poor neighbour with covid.

]Money is really overated, after good health, there are still some things more important than money.

[b]why do you think some rich people get it and donate it to charity why do some people find money on the ground and return it to the owner, even when they could have used the money to solve all their problems
why do people leave a well paying job to be with their family.
why are rich people in Nigeria travelling out to canada, everyday, when they already have a well paying job. is it to look for money

or quit their job to pursue their passions[/b]

I have people who left their jobs for their health sake, to focus on their families and to have sanity.

You need to rephrase your statement. People who don't value you without money will never value you when you have money. They will value your money not you

I created this thread because of one on one experiences.
No doubt, money is good.
But people lose their health, peace and even time to spend with their family in search of it.

Last two months, a friends mum sold a property which she has worked for over the years for 20mm at a distress sale, the whole proceed was spent on her medical trip to India for treatment. She didnt make it.

And the only thing she appreciated on her dying bed was her husband and two children who stood with her

If you check all the health issues raised are all terminal., let me give you an example, if you got enough money and you have HIV you will live almost anormal life but if you are poor you wont,If you have enough money and you Diabetes you will live longer than a person who has it but poor.

Honestly speaking bro
Money is almost everything
How exactly do feel whenever you're broke
I feel y'all saying money is nt important is like telling a hungry person that food is nt important when you just finished eating a nice meal

Bro, the society do not work like that, people only value the works of your hand. The only people who place value to your person are your primary family those that are with you for life.ie kids and parents.

I don't really get why you're telling me that

What I was trying to say is that if a person doesn't value you as a person, don't think that they'll value you when you have money. They're only valuing your money not you

Even parents and kids. Sometimes, these people only value your money not you

Some people are lucky to be valued for who they are as a person by family and friends. People who value you for who you are are priceless because even if you should lose everything, they'll still be there for you
