Yes money is certainly a necessary tool. However i've also heard much on the other sides of the burdens of money and lack of the ability to be free or even be yourself. I've been in situations where i wouldn't call it rich .. however i had enough money not to have to work for maybe about 10 years and the people around me knew i had the money. So my phone would ring from the morning to when i went to bed.

So i was burdened with people who needed financial help. It wasn't a very fun experience. Although i did have fun with the money. I guess it can also be viewed by some as the grass being greener on the other side. We certainly need money but having the proper and right mindset about it sure is helpful.
