Money is anything that is given in exchange for a product. It also means a legal tender for buying and selling.
The desire for money is insatiable. No amount of money can suffice for anyone. If this assertion is wrong. Why do we have a first-time and, second-time president? Why do we have billionaires, even trillionaires, who are still seriously in business, making good money? The truth is that as wealth increases, the desire for more increases. Again, our needs are endless; immediately we fulfill this need, another will spring up. Indicating that we continue to seek ways to increase our wealth because of the need to meet our needs.
Furthermore, money is insatiable. When I was studying government in school, I was taught how people want to belong to the bourgeoisie because they want to control power and resources. So, I see money as a force, a power to reckon with. When you are wealthy, you are a force in society, the church, and the neighbourhood. Everybody would want to associate with you.
Money opens doors of connection; it brings a futuristic plan to fruition. It creates an opportunity to support others and brings freedom. It is said that he who blows the piper dictates the tune. Once you have money, you can dictate and control a lot of things.
On the other hand, power intoxicates; people misbehave sometimes because of the power they wield. I have seen where a wealthy man hit someone's car on the road and was threatening the man to lock him up if he dragged the issue instead of apologizing for his wrong. I have seen many wealthy individuals unhappy. Yet some people would say that money brings happiness. I think that assertion is wrong. It is character and money that bring happiness. Again, whether you are a crook or not, society doesn’t care because people's source of wealth is not scrutinsed. Once you have the money, you are a figure.
For me, being comfortable is about celebrating my little and big wins here and there and having my mental balance. Money is also not excluded. Honestly, I would like to be financially free, with streams of income while making a steady income to add value and impact lives, starting from my immediate family. Ensuring that we have the best things life can offer us. Leave comfortably and travel around as we desire. This may mean being a millionaire, billionaire, or even a trillionaire, so long as my family’s comfort is guaranteed.
