It's also a source of trials. Regardless of whether you are rich or poor you will undoubtedly at sometime be trialed in matters of your wealth.
Whilst it's not EVERYTHING to me,Money is the of the adornments of this world and I prefer to have more than less of this for a multitude of reasons. Namely to avoid being dependent on others..to avoid being in debt.And to avoid the injustice and humiliation of not being able to pay others on time. I also enjoy the feeling of being able to help those in need specially from among my friends and family. Deffo better to be the lender than the borrower. The giver than the taker. So all in all yes money is very important to me.
