my view on money
  
in modern society it seems impossible to live without money. for instance, a cou
ntry needs money to develop its economy and to raise people’s living standards.  
for a person suffering from poverty or a serious disease, he has to go hungry or
to wait to die. money is even regarded as a symbol of wealth and status. as a p
roverb goes, “money makes the mare go.”
different people have different attitudes toward money. some think of mone
y as the most important thing in the world. they may try all means, such as gamb
ling and cheating, to make more and more money. they believe that money can brin
g them everything such as fancy cars, luxurious houses, expensive furniture and  
beautiful lovers. some people, however, think that there are things more importa
nt than money, such as good health, happiness and achievements. they devote them
selves to their careers. they earn money by hard work.
it seems to me that money is very important. with lots of money we can liv
e comfortably. but i don’t think it is allpowerful. there are still things lik
e
friendship and love more valuable than money. there are also certain things tha

t money cannot buy, such as health, youth and happiness. for a millionaire suffe
ring from serious cancer, money cannot serve its purpose. money is only a medium
of exchange, a symbol of our work or achievement. therefore, we should earn mon
ey by honest means. only when money is obtained by hard work can it make us real
ly happy.
