I have many important things in my life and money is one of those. Money is pure happiness and joy for me, it gives you freedom and it can satisfy your needs. Nobody can live without money and it’s a fact. Money itself doesn’t make you happy as much as your purchases do. But money also has it’s bad sides. For example you can get all obsessed with money that you’ll forget about humanity, civilization or even manners. You can’t buy your friends, close or loved people by money. Yes, you can live the way you want if you have money, but you can never buy people with it.
