WHY IS MONEY<br />
IMPORTANT?<br />
BY PAUL OKADE Jr<br />
We have often heard the phrase “<strong>money</strong> doesn’t<br />
make you happy”, and as pious as that may sound, it<br />
really has no place in this modern world where<br />
everything revolves around <strong>money</strong>.<br />
Money may not make some people happy but poverty<br />
doesn’t make anybody happy either. I have never seen<br />
a beggar who lives under a bridge refuse <strong>money</strong> from a<br />
passerby.<br />
A poor person has not chosen a life of poverty and<br />
destitution, they’re in that position by circumstance<br />
and they’re certainly not happy about that situation<br />
either.<br />
People are not homeless by choice but by<br />
circumstance, and those circumstances eventually<br />
evolved into a financial crisis in their lives which then<br />
led to their homelessness. Money is extremely<br />
important in this world and desiring to make as much of<br />
it as possible does not make you bad or evil.<br />
We really need to break this mentality which says that<br />
it is morally wrong to want to be rich, especially when<br />
your plan is to use those riches to secure your future<br />
and those of your children and grand children.<br />
