I will give you few stats:
Some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's about one in nine people on earth.
Today there is no food which is free.
The vast majority of the world's hungry people live in developing countries, where 12.9 percent of the population is undernourished.
There are more than 1 million books written on Wealth creation.
One out of six children -- roughly 100 million -- in developing countries is underweight.
In India the no. of Private websites working for Wealth Management for individual or business - 1400(approximately)
WFP calculates that US$3.2 billion is needed per year to reach all 66 million hungry school-age children.
Now you decide whether money is everything or not. I have seen people doing unnecessary things, making hell number of shortcuts, cheating others, hacking accounts to get as much money as possible.
These days when I see people not having cash in hand or in account, they kind of dependent on someone. And such dependency is a killing feeling. Some people do not have life at all and life to them is more or less surrounded with resource crunch. Resources does not mean material possession. In practical way, I term resources as proper health facility, quality education, sanitation, clean air, quality food etc. No material possession. when we have more money we can utilize it to overcome health problems, spend on education etc.
So in one line, No money => no food, no education => no knowledge = > no self - belief => no life. If you don’t believe in yourself , you are already dead. Therefore, Money is life.
