I think we can all agree that everyone needs money. That's why we try to learn a skill, get a job, start a business, or even in the negative, people engage in some social vices and misconduct, all so that some money can be made and needs sorted. It goes deeper for some people, but basically this is why many people do many things or why they do what they do. We even work out of comfort and all that to have that money for the sake of our needs.
However, let's say this money people work tirelessly to gain, this money people learnt skills, start businesses or get jobs so as to be able to make the money, what if it was no longer a problem? What if money no longer became a problem for me; no financial worries, no need to save, salary expectations, selling services and goods, what would it be like to have the money problem and need taken away because money was no longer a concern?
Honestly, it would be great satisfaction and relief. Most of the problems and needs in life are solved by money. Some people even say money buys happiness, not something I really subscribe to though. But we can't deny the value and influence of money. Take away money concerns, and that would mean having a better life, doing more of the things I do, having access to more and better resources for the things I find interesting, and so many possibilities.
Yes, many possibilities with few limitations since money is the exchange tool for almost everything on earth. Since money is not a concern or problem, using it for anything related to gaining more money would seem to go off the point, right? Nevertheless, I would do a lot still with it. For the things I'm passionate about, I would get the resources needed such as the devices and gadgets. All that outside of the need for making money.
It's beyond just money in that case, but passion and interest. I would also ensure to provide good food, clothing and shelter for my family and loved ones. They deserve the best as they were the ones who have been with me all through and managed through life. They should at least enjoy the basics and whatever needs they have. I could go on some travels too and some interesting adventures, to gain exposure and learn about other people and their culture.
More importantly, the majority of that money will continually go into the work of charity. I might set up a foundation or work with existing ones by providing grants or partnerships to see that the good work of service to humanity continues. This is one of the most fulfilling things for me in life. Having such money will provide the opportunity to do that in good measure and also be an encouragement to those doing this, hence empowering and changing more lives.
