This is early hours of the day and I'm awake creating a content.
I'm also hearing some sounds in the Streets of Lagos people are Hawking foods and drinks in different motor parks, as early as 4:00 a.m. people will leave their homes to work.
Everyone works tirelessly on daily basis to make what is known as money
I have to ask myself a very important question.
Does money really worth the stress humans go through to get it?
I know of thousands of people who left the country because they want to make more money these people are working tirelessly in a foreign country just to earn money.
What is money?
Simply started money is just a medium of exchange where you drop a paper money or digital money to get something you need in return and in all area of life activities we need money to survive, the little thing I like is that money can be stored for future and it has benefits to an extent.
Weather it is digital money which comes in form of cryptos assets and tokens or bank money or Fiat money they all have a limit to what they can do for a living soul.
Money offers financial security and stability, when you have money you can get quality food, good shelter, good clothes, money is needed during emergency or for bills also money can help to reduce debt and reduce financial stress and improve credit stores as well.
Money helps to improve the quality of life a person can live, as you can see around us today rich people uses the best and expensive hospitals, they go on regular check up to prevent any health damages they also give their children the best education and help them get professional development.
Here in Nigeria you will see a parents spending over 1,000 hive per term for just one child to get good and quality education, the quality schools in Nigeria ranges from 500 to 1,000 hive per term which is just 3 months interval so parents will be spending approximately 3,000 to 4,000 hive on their children school fees here and the lesser ones can't afford even a bit of such money.
Obviously money is advantageous, it can as well give one the best comfort when it comes to career chances travel experiences and entrepreneurship having money gives you better opportunities and freedom.
Let's say a rich man wants to invest as an entrepreneur he pushes in huge money and makes great profit unlike a lesser entrepreneur.
Money also have some psychological and social benefits in a way of reducing stress it also helps an individual to be more influential and acquire more respect in the community.
Money can do a whole lot but there are still some things money cannot really do.
Let's continue.
Money serves for protection but it also have some emotional and social challenges it poses on the masses, some rich people do not feel secure associating with low-level people they always are select themselves so we can say that money create social barriers.
People who have money find it difficult to trust though sometimes after several business transactions they do have some trust, some rich fellows in Nigeria have a kind of entitlement spirit they think people around them owe them services and respect because they have money.
Excess money can affect people's lifestyle and behavior, some that have money forgets the importance of setting achievable goals, they even lack sense of fulfillment and also give people opportunity to exploit and scam them.
Economic effects.
Money causes disparities in life it leads to social tension and affect people's qualities of life because excessive spending of the rich in luxury goods produces allocation of resources and this unmets the basic means in the country there by increasing poverty, this is the reason why it seems like rich keep getting richer and the poor keeps getting poorer in some countries.
The rich often face what is known as moral dilemma because they have to fight between balancing their personal desires and social responsibilities.
Are there really things money cannot buy? Yes there is.
Earlier I ask if money really worth the stress, let's do a little evaluation on what money cannot afford then we'll come to a conclusion if money really worth the stress or not.
money cannot buy true happiness and fulfillment in life, no matter how rich someone is true happiness never comes from it and at some stages you will see rich people getting emotionally down.
money will never buy honest and general relationship, money only attract fake and desperate people and when money is the foundation of any relationship there is only superficial interactions and mistrust.
yes money can help to achieve best medical care but money never guarantees perfect life, money can never prevent unforeseen occurrences like accident, genetic disease and many more so with that money cannot totally take away mental stress.
conclusively money cannot buy wasted time, time keeps moving and will never pause because of a rich man also money cannot buy peace of mind, passion and talent no matter the level of education.
Yes money has a whole lot of advantages and benefits but after analyzing what money cannot buy which include life itself, both the rich and the poor die on daily basis and are being buried in the ground.
I think money doesn't work the stress some people go through.
Please what do you think?
