Money is the concrete representation of someone’s perceived worth in the world. Money can be earned based on contributions to the working world by just and unjust means. Money can, in turn, be traded for goods and/or services.
It seems that the best way to increase or improve a career or personal life as it pertains to money is to increase education. One must spend money to do this, but increased education opens many other doors and opportunities for those who seek out advancement. Another way to improve money is to save it and always look for deals and bargains. One should only purchase with money they DO have. This can be argued when seeking money to pay for educational institutions. Erasing debt and loans is definitely advised for long term financial health.
Money should be taken care of and respected in the sense that it reflects one’s mortal power. It is a necessary evil in society. Where there is potential power, there is corruption. Yet, much good can be done with one’s use of monetary means.
