How important is money to you?

[ricc505]

Money is very important to me because I'm retired. If I want to stay retired it needs to last.

You can have every penny of Warren Buffet's money and all you have to do is trade bodies and age (94) with him.

You will be a multi billionaire and all it costs you is 'time', do you take the deal?

WHich do you value more? Which do you think he would value more?

 

[pugilistico]

I think anybody who puts a lot of importance in money wouldn't trade certain things for an obscene amount of money. Everything has a price even money.
The point of money is to use it so you can enjoy life. It would be pointless to be rich at the cost of not being able to enjoy it.

 

[Cole train]

Extremely since money frees up time to do stuff

10 out of 10 for me. When you have money, you can worry about the real things.

Being broke fucking sucks. It brings so much pressure.

It is important. Money buys time. When you have enough money you can spend time with those you love instead of working/earning more. I'm hoping my wife will retire when she turns 44 so we can have more time together. Our house will be paid off and time will be the most valuable thing we have

Being poor must be horrible.
Imagine the stress of not being sure to be able to pay for bills and basics shit.

I'm blessed and would trade my financial situation for anything, not even love.

sending mixed messages there bub

Money is a means to and end, but without it 9/10 (ratio is probably closer to 9999/10000 if you live in the city) you can't reach that end. So to me, it's extremely important.

Average importance just because i own my house but i still need to pay my property and school taxes. Which are getting way too expensive nowadays. Borough went from $400 in 2023 to $622 in 2025. Thats not including County and School. Thats another $4000

Crucial. Don’t want to end up living in a cardboard box on a street corner.

As someone who's been rich and poor - extremely important.

Yes you can't buy everything one could want in life, but the bottom 80% of your hierarchy of needs are acquired with money.

People that say it isn't important fall into 2 camps:
1) they've always had enough and don't have a learned understanding of its worth.
2) they've never had it and are telling themselves nice takes where having it would be a trade off against their positive human qualities.

For me I'd say it's about a 8 out of 10.

It's not the be all or end all, but you have to priorities/needs to be met.

So money definitely helps to a degree.

I earn decent money (6 figures in Germany is pretty decent) but my wife doesn‘t earn much and we have 2 kids in private school. So let‘s just say that after bills and groceries and mortgage and gas and whatever is paid and after putting aside some every month, it‘s not like I spend a lot on myself or anything. So yes, I couldn‘t live my life without a good salary but I have no luxuries.

It's vital to live well and to fulfill my dreams.

I'm not obsessed over it though, and it isn't a factor when being attracted to someone.

If you are looking to retire one day and you are constantly looking to progress your career, money is important to you. But, it doesn't mean it has to run your life. It doesn't have to become you so to speak. You can chase money and still be you.

Money right now is to keep up with your lifestyle but ultimately your goal is for freedom. Money is freedom. This is where it begins and this is where it stops.

 

[Michaelangelo]

probably a sliding scale

For the wealthy and elite closer to zero

For the poor and impoverished closer to 10

 

[HUGHPHUG]

I never cared about money and I still don't, but I have had to pursue it and stress about it more in the last few years than ever before

I hate that needing money is so polarising

 

[Oblivian]

My main short term goal right now is to pay off the business and then build a house that has everything I want. I'm sure some people will view our new house as ridiculous, but I want my house to basically be my playground. Between the land, build, and all of the extras, I'm sure we'll be close to a million and I'm in an area with low cost of living. At the same time, I'm stuffing money towards college savings and retirement. I think about money a lot obviously with the business and personally, but I also never worry about money. We aren't even close to overextended on anything and have more than most, so basically everything we are shooting for is beyond luxury.
