Essay on money is not everything

There are many components in life that money cannot purchase. These include a state of being “perfect”, a permanent break from stress, and a relief from the dangers that lurk in the world. When I was in third grade, I had many friends who were greedy for money. They thought, like most people, that money would solve all their problems.

However, this idea is a common misconception and is dangerous because money is everything. Without the ability to purchase tangible items, intangible ideas would not be able to be pursued. Money is what helps people survive and pursue ideological things in life.

The end, is a comfortable life, and the means is money. If we consider money as a means to our end of having a comfortable life then, we would be seeing money in its proper perspective for without money we can not live as, we are not able to buy anything if we do not have money.

Money is necessity only in as much as, it is the thing which buys for us all we need, but, beyond that, money is a harbinger of all sorts of vices. Let us remember that money is to be considered as a means to an end, and not an end in itself. The end, is a comfortable life, and the means is money.
