Money, as we know, is simply a means of exchange for goods and services. As simple as it may sound, money goes beyond just a medium of exchange. Money in the world today has different variables attached to it. Here I will just look at a few of them.
Money has a lot of power attached to it. Anyone with economic power can easily control a lot of things. Have you thought about the rich men and how many people they have working for them? Most people will always do the bidding of a rich man not because it's the right thing to do, but it is because of the influence that money has, even on the rich. In a gathering where people are asked to come up with ideas, you would see that most people would go with the idea of the rich person even if it is not the best. So we can agree that having money comes with influence.
Can love be truly bought with money? From my perspective, I would say no. I have, over the years, seen rich couples getting divorced, and I question the rationale surrounding the divorce. In a relationship or marriage, money can only make it worthwhile, but it doesn't mean that money is the main glue. Money truly will make you have friends, but the question is, do they truly care about you? Yes, I agree money can bring some form of love and security to a person's life.
Economic power, as we all know, is an important aspect of our society, and money has its influence on our daily lives. One might want to downplay the importance of economic power with statements like "money can't buy life". This statement might be true, but we all know that money is essential for human existence, and we see this in our daily interactions with each other.
We have all had that encounter where we felt a little embarrassed because, at that point, we couldn't get what we wanted because we didn't have the purchasing power. The world's most influential men and women have a level of economic power they possess. I will end this piece by saying economic power is important.
