It is now that I had more understanding of money.

Everything you need to know about money
What is Money? Money is a currency, an instrument or objects which you use in exchange for something. In olden days, people use stones, silver or gold as method of making payments when they wanted to exchange for something. That has brought so much inconvenience to people. Not only does carrying such stones around heavy, it is not a fair methods of exchange. Soon people began to think of using paper money, which have brought more us more convenience, and a fairer methods of exchange between people. People are always thinking of ways to get better in their lives. From stones to paper, now there are more types of money — credit cards, debit cards, cash vouchers, cash coupons, discount cards, discount coupons etc. These are all money in various forms.
Money is what makes this world goes round. Nations buy resources from each other. Via buying and selling trades, countries are able to survive on food — the dry grains, the vegetables, poultry products etc which some small countries would not have such huge quantities of food for their own nation. Money allows fair trade to be made possible between nations. Providing the correct price based on the Demand and Supply ration. This is the importance and the role of money in a worldwide view.
Within every nation, money is being circulated too. Every nation has to survive on their own businesses. There are the commercial, industrial and residential properties to be considered when money is concerned. There are various sectors of work in the nation. Everybody have their own jobs and everybody need to work in order to have money to spend. Money is essential for maintenance of life because everyone need to buy food, clothings and other necessities of life. Not all money that is earned will be spent; and not everybody in the world earn the same amount of money. Some people earn more and some people earn less. It all depends on many factors, but mainly more on qualification and experience. Money that is earned by each citizens in the country will be taxed (Income Tax). This is money which will go back to the nation, so that the nation can have the money to buy whatever resources and fulfilling the needs (building of library, parks etc) for the nation again.
Individually, everybody have to know what is the values of money and how to manage money. Proper management of money is crucial. Anyone who has no basis of making money will find it impossible to live anywhere. Whichever nation you go, you need money. You need to have work, a skills for you to depend on for a living. There is no short cut in lives. As long as you work you would have money. Money allows you to buy your daily necessities, money also allows you to enjoy life, when you spend it on entertainments such as travels, luxuries and so on.
Where money management is concerned, it is important to know that it is not a matter of how much you earn that is important in life. It is more a matter of how much you save and how much you spend. In this world where everybody is seeking for material comforts, many people wants to live better and many people are spending more on unnecessary items. This is the cause of many credit cards debts as well as a soar in gambling, stocks and shares investment etc. People are just greedy, they want more money. By having more money, they feel that they are more successful in life. By having wealth, they have a higher status in their life. However, nothing is without risk. When business fail, when too much debts are incurred, it causes the downfall of an individual. Many people goes bankrupt.
Money is not evil at all. But Money is the root of all evil? Money itself is neither good nor bad because it is just an object. Human greed has caused many crimes to arise because of money. People rob the bank, rob the old people, and seek accomplice in making kidnap possible. Family disputes occur where there is disagreement in money management. Couples quarrel because of money, kins file lawsuit in order to claim their right share of inheritance and so on. How money has affect each and every one in our lives all depend on how you manage money and how you value money in your life. With the right thinking and correct management of money, money should not be the main instrument that rule your life.
There is time to play, there is time to work. Work generate money to make your daily life possible. Applying the proper method of managing your money, anyone can be happy with the use of money, and even appreciate the values of money for the convenience that it has brought to the current lives of every people in the world. With the wrong method of money management and with the wrong concept values of money, many people would seek ways to have more money. Greed and the inability to resist temptation have caused many people to engage in briberies, fraud, and many other deceitful act.
Money and your life is interconnected. How you manage your money will affect your life. You need to pay a price for money before money will come to you. How much price are you going to pay for your life in exchange for money? It is your life. You decide.
