Because money = power. Sad, but very true.

When I was of the world, I thought it was based on How much money I had, how many people feared(respected) me, how many women I could get, how much stuff I owned, how much control over others I had, When I reached the top and had everything I ever wanted and was the person I always wanted to be...it was there that I realized I had nothing, I was nothing. The measurement is based on how much of my selfishness and the world is still in me compared to how much of Jesus Christ is in me.

that's how they keep money in the bank. There is actually never the amount of money in the bank that you and everyone else deposits. If everyone withdrew their money in one particular bank at the same time, the bank wouldn't be able to give you all your money. They need insufficent funds fees and monthly fees for accounts to be able to cover that money

Its not how much money you actually have, its all about your assets. Try picking up a personal finance book. It can get you on the road to wealth. One of my favorite authors is David Bach. He writes several books on this subject. No one can answer for you how much money you need or want. All anyone can say is what they feel THEY need to be wealthy. Besides a dollar amount of 50 million today will not be worth nearly as much as 30 years from now. Good luck on your values ladder. you'll understand when you read the book.

this phenomenon is because we were raised in a society that seems to reward greed.  The more things you have supposedly the better off you are.  So it seems natural that this infused value begins to show through in our attitudes and emotions.  It's just been part of our life that material thigns will make us happy, although once we obtain whatever it is we eventually discover how hollow it turns out to be.  then it's on to the next thing that'll forever change our lives.  Then as we lust for all these material things, somebody's pockets are getting lined with our money.  The little secret they wouldnt' want you to know is that it's really up to an individual to choose to feel satisfied or not regarless of their situation. The old maxim: The ebst thigns in life are free...   now then again so are the worst, nobody ever paid for cancer.  for the sake of not ending on a sour note like that, it's up to the individual.

Success almost always doesn't have to do with money.  Success comes from what you personally have done with your life.  Those that have stuck to their moral and value system no matter what others say and are good people because it is the right thing to do are successful in life.

What does receiving a lot of money have to do with finding someone to share your life with? Money shouldn't be the object that finds you someone. I would start my search by hiding the money!

Yes this is true. We could have billions of money and still want more. People always want, want, want . They never think of the third world and be grateful for what you have even if it mightn't be alot compared to what others have

Oh wait I read your question wrong at first... LOL\n\nYes I believe you are richer than a millionaire if you have all of the things that money really can't buy and you are truly happy!

It sounds like you are referring to a  "net worth" calculaton. Obviously .....the higher it is...the better shape you are in. You certainly want it to be a + number. There are alot of people in this country that have a negative "net worth"

I like this question and feel stupid that I don't know the answer. I should have taken that class on Central Banks. My guess is that it is a combination of the money supply, interest rates and government assets held (tresuries) by other countries.

Because you spend more than what you make.\n\nFor example if you are a minimum wage worker making $51.50 a day but that day you go take your family to see the film "Chicken Little" and pay $32 for the tickets and $8 for some pop corn and you add the costs of the gasoline to get to the movie theater and the costs of the breakfast at home and the dinner at home and the water you used that day and the energy you used that day and the cost of cable or satellite television for that day you spend more than $51.50 and at the end of the day you are the same (If you only spend $51.50) or poorer if you actually spended more than $51.50 \n\nRich people every day they have more money.\n\nIt does not matter if you only save $5.15 that day in your savings account (Or Pig) if you save you are richer that day.\n\nAll you need is a budget.\n\nIf you don't know what a budget is drop me a line.

There is never too much money. Because honestly, if i had too much money, i could eat caviar 3 times a day and fly my private jet between my 135 houses all over the world. That would really be okay by me.\n\nOn that note, if you feel that you have too much money, i'll gladly accept some of that extra cash.

If our society changed to another form of currency, than the new form would be considered the "root of all evil."  This phrase is based on that everyone wants money; to survive or just have that nice, new gadget.  It makes others do crazy things to get it, whether working all day and nite or even cheating or stealing.  Unfortunately there is no simple solution to solve the problem with distributing currency equally, because of greed and envy.

It's all about money.
