We should have a right attitude towards money.
Money can buy a house, but not a home.
Money can buy a bed, but not sleep.
Money can buy a clock, but not time.
Money can buy a book, but not knowledge.
Money can buy you a position, but not respect.
Money can buy you medicine, but not health.
Money can buy a friend, but not love.
…
Money is not everything!
Do you think money is everything? Why?
