These money quotes will tell you the importance of it in today’s world.
There is no doubt money is one of the most important things to survive in today’s world. Even though money can’t buy everything as you will not die without money but you will definitely die without food which is purchased by money. So money is important.
People who have a lot of it say it is not important as it cannot buy happiness and love but they forget that money is powerful maybe not in emotional terms but definitely in social terms.
People who don’t have the money work hard to gain more and who don’t even have to fulfill their daily needs know the importance of it.
So in short everyone talks about money. Some think they have more than enough, some run after it, or some are obsessed with it and in today’s world, everyone’s goal is to make a lot of money.
There are many pros and cons of money and we would not like to indulge in the debate. But life would be so much easier if there was no money or it is only used for the purpose it was made for like payment for goods and services but now, there are many things running because of money.
So to celebrate financial literacy and independence of money, here we are sharing a collection of money quotes about life, happiness, power, and love for money-minded people, or for those people money is everything.
