Money is often said to be the permanent source
of malice for human beings.We see many people who have become slaves of money.
They think money is everything, and that they can do anything if they have enough
money. They also claim money defines oursocial status. Others think that’s not true,
even though they agree money is an important part of life. But serious problems arise
when people don’t know how to spend money.Our parents say making money is
easier than spending it, and they are afraid that “almighty” money may have bad
effects on our character. It is certainly true that spending money wisely requiresa lot
of practice.
