Wearelivinginamaterialworld,andit’sreallydifficulttodenythefunctionofmoneyorwealth.Weneedmoneyforfood,clothes,education,hospital,housingandtransportation,etc.There’srarelyanythingthatdoesn’tneedmoney.Whatwecandiscussnowisnottheimportanceofmoney,butwhethermoneyisalmightyandwhethermorewealthcanbringusmorehappiness.
