Money(essay)

In life, other than our own life and family, money comes third.Many may claim that money does not play a major part in our life, but in fact, it affects almost everything in our life.

In these days, with the ongoing inflation around the world, it is hard to purchase many daily products, not to mention the electronics, at a affordable price.The price of rice all around the world had gone up the the recent years, this resulted in many people who have low income being unable to purchase rice anymore.However, this sudden rise in price has little effect on the high income people.To most of them spending a buck or two more is just another way for them to spend their money.

Money on the other hand may also affect our current state of mood, a person who is facing a money shortage may appear to be very stressed as without money, he may not be able to settle the problems in his life, such as bills, debts and money to support his family.In comparison, a person with a stable and slightly better income, will find himself having less worries as he will be able to settle his debts, bills and support his family, with a little care and investment, he will be able to double his fortune.

Money may also affect a person's social circle,when a person is rich, he will be very popular with his friends and relatives as his wealth shows that he is a very accomplished and established person. Money also raises a person's social circle.He will be able to get to know many other rich and famous people through his peers.All this shows how money is able to change a person's social hangouts.

A person who is rich is also capable of achieving his dreams at a younger age, unlike a poor person who has to save his money for half a lifetime just for a trip to his dream destination. A rich man who wishes to climb to the top of the mount Everest will find it easier to achieve his goal(not counting the physical limits) as he is well funded my his own wealth while a poor man may have to save his money for years and years just to buy the equipments. Therefore , the importance of money is shown here.

In conclusion, my opinion is that although health, dreams and family is important, but without wealth, health family and dreams is not possible.

Term 2 week 32

It is really bizarre that humans actually discriminate against each other.Racism is not just a trivial and paltry issue in our society, it is an act which cannot be condone(although it can really be profound and hard to understand sometimes).

SRY, ALL THE POST ARE IN THE REVERSE ORDER
