Money is everything, more of a God

Hi

I was recently wondering if money is evrything in life. To me it feels I can live without a family, children, friends or anything but just money. Will you be okay if you made a deal tomorrow with God, that your parents die but you get 2.5 Mn USD in return? Will you hate people who don't make money and judhe everyone with their net worth? Do you think housewives are burden on Earth and should die since they wont contribute to household income?

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's clear that opinions on the importance of money can vary greatly among individuals. The discussions on Wall Street Oasis often revolve around the pursuit of financial success and its impact on personal life. Here are some insights from the WSO community that might shed light on different perspectives:

  • Money as a Necessity: Many argue that money is essential for a comfortable life, providing access to healthcare, education, and the ability to outsource household chores, as mentioned in the "The Path to Least Resistance: Why IB May Not Be What You Really Want" post.

  • Money vs. Relationships: There's a recurring theme that while money can improve quality of life, it isn't a substitute for relationships or personal fulfillment. This is evident in the post "boys, do NOT get married. Seriously.", where the author reflects on the trade-offs between financial burden and personal relationships.

  • Judging Worth by Net Worth: The WSO community often debates the value of measuring one's worth by their net worth. While some may prioritize financial success, others emphasize the importance of non-material aspects of life, such as happiness and personal growth.

  • Role of Housewives: The contributions of housewives or stay-at-home parents are recognized beyond financial terms. As seen in the "Life in General Will Cost More Than You Think" thread, the role of a partner at home is acknowledged as crucial for managing family life, especially when the other partner has a demanding career.

It's important to remember that these are personal opinions and not everyone will agree with them. The value of money and its role in life is a deeply personal matter and can depend on one's upbringing, values, and life experiences. It's also crucial to approach such topics with empathy and understanding, recognizing that everyone's life choices are valid and deserve respect.
