Money is good. This is a fact. It takes money to buy homes, cars, clothes, food and acquire most of the good things in life. Money is medical costs; vacation expenses; tuition fees; and, yes, dowry and romance. ‘unless one has money there is no use in being a charming fellow. Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The poor are practical and ordinary. Indeed, money is party for friends and help to the poor and needy. In this world, good intentions, we must have money as well.

1. The Right To Money!
(extracted from The Gift of e11even Moves to Make Me Wealthy-By Ojijo)
Money is good. This is a fact. It takes money to buy homes, cars, clothes, food and acquire
most of the good things in life. Money is medical costs; vacation expenses; tuition fees;
and, yes, dowry and romance. ‘unless one has money there is no use in being a charming
fellow. Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The
poor are practical and ordinary. Indeed, money is party for friends and help to the poor
and needy. In this world, good intentions, we must have money as well.
Poverty is a curse. Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not
possible to live a really complete, happy and successful life unless one has money. Even
god said poverty and lack was a curse which was to come upon the people of god
because they failed to keep his commandments and his statutes. Poor people
experience starvation and are malnourished. They are weak people; illiterate people;
houseless people; beggars; wearing rags; and their life is not secure when they are old
and ill. Poverty means mean more crimes, health problems, ignorance, etc. Poverty is
indeed a curse. All humans deserve freedom from want. Poor people are uncultured. Poor
people are cursed people.
There is nothing is appalling as being old and broke, young and broke, single and br oke, or
married and broke. Poverty is the state where I cannot meet my needs, and my needs
are education, giving, shelter, emergency & insurance, transport & communication, food &
drinks, entertainment, household furniture, fixtures & appliances, clothing & hygiene and
saving-2-invest. When I cannot meet these, then I am poor.
It is neither humble nor stylish to be poor. Some ‘faithfuls’ think that god inflicts poverty
upon his children so that they will live a life of humility. But I do not have to be broke in
order to be humble! Over the centuries, a tradition has developed within the religions
that poverty is god's way for his children. That is a lie straight from hell! God will never
put me in the pit of poverty to make me humble. God does not work that way. God
wants us rich. God wants me rich. God wants me prosperous. Why else would he create
me? To be poor? A true believer cannot be poor. I wonder how the poor people survive! I
will not let anyone talk me out of this. Any kind of poverty is bad: material, intellectual,
emotional or spiritual. Every bodily disease is due to bodily poverty: of the blood, of
nutrition, of elimination, of coordination. Money poverty is bad. I do not have to be a
money worshipper to believe that I cannot lead a decent life without income enough to
get me comfortable clothing, wholesome food, a sanitary habitation, and the saving bits
of culture and leisure. It is perfectly right for me to want money enough to secure a
reasonable independence.

2. Many say that they are against the 'prosperity theory'. They say they do not want anything
more than what they need! That is 'selfishness' because they cannot then share with the
ones that need help. How am I going to feed the poor if I have just enough to feed
myself? How can I give alms that I do not have? No one can give what he does not
personally possess.’ how can I give if what I have is only enough for me? The best thing I
can do to the poor is not to be one of them. If I would lift someone; I must be on a higher
ground.
Lack of money is the root of all evil. Even though money is not the key to happiness; the
more money I have, the easier it will be to get the key made. With money in my pocket, I
can buy peoples effort to do what I hate doing; and hence ‘buy’ more time in my life to do
what I love doing; and this will make me happy. It is true money is not everything, but
again, nothing is everything. But money is the best foundation to moving towards
everything.
Money is right, a human right. Having money is a fundamental human right. It is glorious to
get rich. The social movement that inspires people to love and acquire money is called
the money rights movement also referred to silver rights movement. Money makes life
easier.
