I think that money is important nowadays..just because lot of people judge you because of it!...If you have more money, you will receive more help..imagine you´ve commited a crime, if you´re poor you will go to prision, and if you´re not, you won´t just becase of the fact that you can pay the bail...it´s all so unfair!!
But money is not all, I mean that despite having money, you can´t buy the happiness, neither love..and such things!!
Money is only money, you can buy lots of things with it, but who will you share them with if you don´t friends, family...(that loves you because of how you are, not because of how much money you have..)
