Money

Money is not the root of evil, the Bible made this clear. It says, the love of money is the root of all evil. Having money or becoming rich is not the issue here, but the love of money. This simply means when you are desperate to make money, you can do anything at all. When you reach this point, it is safe for us to say you are in the phas of "the love of money" which ends up bringing in evil.

Often times, the thing with money is that you never get satisfied. No matter how much you have, you still want more. You will find out that when you said all you needed was $200 yet you still wanted more.

When you meet a particular milestone or goal as regards your finance, you tend to set more goals. This is to show that money doesn't bring full satisfaction. This is why the richest man in the world today, still works really hard to make more money.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you shouldn't make more money than you already have. Infact by all right mean do. The higher you go, the higher the responsibility that comes your way. Big money, big problems is what I call it.

Money can also be seen to define success, but success is not generally based on your financial status. Although being financially okay, means you being successful in your finance.

Back to where we started, money is not the root of evil, but at this point poverty is now a root that causes evil. Poverty will lead to the love of money. Let me explain this point please.

Most times people that were not born rich, simply put, were not born with a silver spoon! Try as much as possible to get out of poverty, so they work hard. It get to a point of working hard and not seeing the kind of results they want, and they are being offered with some kind of huge money to do simple stuffs. Now after carrying out such task, the bigger money is put before them, this time to carry out a bad task. Well some have not seen this kind of big money before, so they get tempted to take it. What if the poverty is so much and probably a family member of theirs is in a life and death situation and all it takes to get out if such situation is money? Money not even up what is being offered here. There is a high probability that such person will compromise, in order to save a life.

But the case is different if the person was born rich, born with a silver spoon and still has money. There will be no need trying to use money to compromise his good morals and standard, because money is something he already has. Seeing and owning huge sums of money is something he is already used to, it is already something he probably grew up with.

Since we now know what leads to the root of all evil, it is pertinent that we note it and stay away from it.

One last thing, money is simply paper, and it is the reward you get, in exchange of the value to give. In essence, do not chase money, instead chase value. Give value and it will be reward with money.
