    That's a loaded question and it comes in many different forms. The most simple answer is that humans have psychological greed that transcends deep in their psyche. It is based from the survival instinct. That is the explanation at its deepest core, to expand beyond that would to be entering a world of a billion different reasons why one would think that money is the answer to everything.

    The most logical and or common response is that people find meaning in inanimate objects, trinkets, shiny things, etc, etc. Material objects are are you well know the most basic form of happiness that almost anyone finds and no one is exempt from it. It can range from a cool rock in your backyard all the way to a Yacht. Obviously, most people prefer to go for the items that provide luxury or status and thus money becomes a necessary evil.

    A Lot of people think its priorities, or only certain people can understand certain things, like a poor person for example will think money is the answer to everything when in reality ones status or lack thereof does not wholly determine their mindset. Iv been poor my whole life and money is nothing to me, it is a form of survival but it is not and never will be everything. In my head, it is hardly an answer none the less anything else more substantial than a means to have a little comfort in a comfortless world.

    To say there is one infinite answer as to why people put money above all else is nothing more than bias opinion. The truth is there is no one reason aside from the fact that it is part of our survival instinct.

    Saying money is the answer to everything, or even anyting, is like saying gasoline is the answer to everything. Gasoline is not an answer, or a question. Gasoline is fuel, and so is currency, which is fuel for our economy.
    Currency is incapable of actions and thoughts. It's incapable of any kind of meaning or significance, other than what people put into it.
    Money is a symbol, representing a unit measure in capital holdings, equivalent too a specific barter equivalent. Even though we are not on the barter system anymore, our economy is still based on the barter system. Each monetary unit of our national and international currency system, is constantly adjusted too a barter equivalent, iether in liquid commodities, like gold and silver, raw materials, or supplies and finished products as collateral support for backing that currency trade at any given time. Even symbols can be bought, sold, and traded, for other symbols, like cash for bonds, or stocks, or shares in a company, or patents on ideas and Technology, as long as everything being traded can be checked and confirmed, as having the value that is stated or implied.
    So you see, money doesn't answer questions, but the value of money ask a lot of questions, of a lot of people, so we're in a global partnership in determining and maintaining that trust, which is what determines the value of that money.
    So perhaps you question is circular, and the answer to all things, is the constant answering of the questions that we ask each other, while maintaining this one thing, called money.

    The only people who believe this are people who are so poor they can't manage to keep their heads above water.
    We who have our heads above water, know there is an ENOUGH point. A coupla million: savings, retirement, life insurance, health insurance, a decent car and auto insurance, home insurance, a nice home, some travel, taking care of your kids to give them a good start in life.
    After all that's taken care of everything else is gravy! You don't need TOO MUCH.
    When you have a surplus, then you can arrange to give money away to the needy: to education, housing and other charities. That is the most fun you can have with money.

    I think some people want to believe there is a singular antidote to their issues cause it’s easier to assume a single answer can resolve all your problems than it is to do the mental and emotional and physical work that it takes to address all levels of the issue or to celebrate minor improvements without expecting total perfection in a problem situation - I know a lot of people who lie to themselves when they are disappointed cause it’s easier for them to lie than face the truth that sometimes life is unfair or unpredictable or unpleasant

    If they think that money can solve all problems then they are most likely the problem themselves. They gotta start being grateful for what they do have in life and stop worrying about what they dont have.

    Money plays a huge factor in ones life and anyone who denies that is broke or lying. I’ve been broke, and today I’m wealthy. Money buys you freedom to spend time with loved ones and work on skills that you’re actually passionate about it. It allows you to work on your health, relationships, and things that really matter. I can afford better food, and healthcare to live a longer life. I can travel to Hawaii with my family and come back with even more money. I can pay for my parents retirement.

    I can quit my job and work on my fitness all day if I wanted to. Slaving to a paycheck your entire life is hell on earth. Depending on one boss for your quality of life and sucking up all the time for a promotion isn’t a route I’d want to take. I’d encourage everyone to start learning about personal finance, assets, and acquire a life that they love.

    The best part about choosing wealth while you’re younger, is that you’ll become more and more free as you age. If you work a job your entire life not worrying about money, you’ll only specialize within your career and become more and more busy as you age. It will take you away from the things that really matter in life,

    I have to fully disagree with you here. My life has dramatically improved in every way imaginable since I’ve earned my financial freedom.

    Because a lack of money directly correlates to stress, poor health, and lack of options in life. I'm not saying financial stability would solve everything, but it would definitely help. I'm tired of panic attacks at the end of the month because my account is in the negatives and I still need ro get a perscription and groceries for the week. I'm tired of putting exactly $10 of gas in my car and knowing exactly how many trips to the store that will get me. I'm tired of needing to get an advance on my paycheck because an unexpected $200 expense came up and I don't even have $30 to put towards it. I'm tired of knowing next week/month/year will be the same. I'm tired of knowing that at any given point I'm only one or two financial misteps away from being homeless.
    Yeah, maybe money isn't everything. But there's no way being poor is better than having money.

    Money is a cheap substitute for life. It's easier to get money than to build a meaningful life. For people who lack meaningful lives, it's easier to blame lack of money (or lack of more money for the wealthy) than to take responsibility. I've noted all my life that the wealthiest people seem the most miserable and their family lives are the worst. The exceptions are people like Gates and Buffett who have given away almost all of their money. You would think that people would learn but people are really bad at that.

    Money means nothing for me. I’m humble for what I do have and received. Sure it can be joyful to have a lot. But it’s not the answer to everything. I feel like some who think money is the answer to everything, and what I call it, the Elvis syndrome where they have had nothing in life, and buy everything they can because it’s now accessible. No I’m not hating by the way. Money is nice but for the right reasons. If you live life all for the love of money, how can you love others in life? You can’t. Loving money has an equal to emptiness. That’s just me though.

    People who think money is everything, are usually deprived of it. So in some sense, it is everything to them. Money is not just a valueless small piece of paper as depicted in the images. But it can't be exchanged by everything, sure thing.

    Also, i just remembered one saying by my hostory teacher from someone else, and i kind of have to agree. If money can't fix some problem, then it is not being applied enough of it. Therefore to answer your question as to why, it is basically because we as a collective is addressing value to it. If someone has, then there is someone willing to work for you.

    Because simple people want simple solutions to their problems, and frankly speaking, the "solution" in most people's minds is whatever they don't have, and most people regardless of their wallets do feel like they could use more money (and some DO use more money than they actually have and go on to blame everyone but themselves for this fact). With just about every woman I've dated, I'll at some point ask them what they would do of they found themselves possessing a few million dollars of discretionary spending money, and like clockwork they'll say some virtuous or charitable cause and yet not one person I've ever known to actually become financially loaded has ever done anything close to that, usually because they adopted a new set of personal life problems, realize their altruistic ideals weren't actually realistic, or simply weren't sincere in the first place and were just giving the "Miss America Pageant" answer.

    Well id say you’re absolutely correct. It doesn’t mean anything. The people who hold money to a high regard are more so lower on the totem pole financially. But you can’t blame those of the more poor circumstances. Food costs money, shelter costs money, healthcare costs money, even education costs money. Yes most of these things you can learn to do but the reason we don’t have these things in our arsenal is simply because these things were ripped from low class citizens forcing us to abide and feel comfort based on the dollar.

    I thibk its because people like to think there's a "universal solution" something to focus on as a end all be all. Money us a logical choice for that as its the most coveted and versital resource in our society. Even though on its own its nearly useless.

    I could write you 1000000 words on this, but lets keep it short. Basiclly it's the social medias showing all that glamorous living, The ones who pretend they are living it and of course you have those who shows you how fun this live style is without (hard work) and most of the society is following these people on their social media and try to be like them 🤷‍♂️ and they call it (best life ever)

    Money to be fair can do a lot of things. You can hire people to do things for you, have security and have protection.

    I'm clearly a person that can say that money is not everything but it does clearly have power, the power to do many things. It could even change your life to an extent but money is clearly not everything. Life is more than money

    If you value money, you dont know how to value happiness from within.
    You constantly need reassurance from money to be happy.
    Real happiness has nothing to do with money.
    If we all went into a survival mode, no electricity or food, money is only paper.

    According to me mam, some people think this way because it gives them a sense of control.
    I mean they think as long as they have money in their hands they can buy anything, they can influence anyone.
    They are not completely wrong as money can be a means to some of your happiness, but all that happiness is materialistic.
    Real happiness comes from the happiness of the people around you and the satisfaction you get from what you do, well at least for me that is.

    Money would buy good quality healthcare for my mom and brother. Money would pay my rent and I won't have to stress about it. Money would pay for my dad's medication. Money buys me a house I can't afford. Money buys me a used car that I can't afford. Money would ensure that my disabled brother is taken care of and he can have a somewhat reasonably independent life.

    I guess it's because they're used to solve all of their problems with money. They believe they can buy anyone and anything just because they're rich. Sure, money improves our lives and it's helpful but some things can't be solved with it.

    Money solves my problems
    When I can't do anything anymore thanks to my failing health, if I have money I can still live
    Without money I couldn't

    When I was in hospital earlier this year I kept working because that brought me comfort being the only thing I could control
    If I'd had to stop work, I can say wholeheartedly I wouldn't be typing this now

      I agree with miss brains, can money buy love? No way!
      By the way, money can buy a temporary happiness!
      That's why i like a girl who adores becoming a housewife after marriage, because money will be the last thing that she will think of! Since it'a her husband's business!

      She will cook the most delicious meals, give so much love and care, also being naughty when it comes to sex...

    Money is the answer for lots of things but certainly not for everything. People who usually think that way are mostly people who never had big salaries or ever dealt with great amounts of money.

    One of the things that money cannot do is allow us to cheat death.
    Money gives us options.
    There comes a point, though, at which when is enough enough?

    I can give you one example.
    My country has shortage of 7 million housing units and rich people can invest in buildings and infrastructure but they don't becauseif they did and the shortage was ended then they would not be able to get as much out of the poor downtrodden people through rental incomes

    Because without it you can easily be reduced to bum laying on a street who has nothing to look forward to.

    Without money, you can lose everything.

    Money isn't the answer to everything but in this society money is the only way to get things we need to live and survive.
    Sure you can barter with some people for things but it is limited to the things you can barter with. You have to get the things you barter with somehow that usually means paying money for things to barter with first.
    Until money is eliminated and everything is given to everyone totally free, money and greed rich against poor will remain the system of things forever.

    Because money does solve all problems. You can buy good health care, you can have a nice house, you can hide your money and go on dates to find genuine people, then when you reveal your money you can get married and raise a big family because you’ll have a lot of money.

    Because it kinda is, even when you co-create with spirit you're blessed with money. I am very spiritual but when I trust in the universe with an open heart and mind, I end up getting money easier. God doesn't want anyone to be poor, he just wants us not to be greedy and lose ourselves for material things. Those with money who are still miserable need therapy, which can also be bought with money.

    Money is awesome. You can make it, receive it, save it, spend it, give it, buy bitches, lose it on a horse race, put it in red envelopes and give it to people for the Chinese new year, brag about it, or keep it private, throw it up in the air... Possibilities are limitless. Better question why do some people still don't understand that there are others with different preferences.
