Why People Chase
Money and Forget
Everything Else?
The acquisition of wealth and material possessions is often seen as the
ultimate measure of success. But is it really worth the cost? Let's explore the
downside of chasing money and see if there's a better way.
by Saba Ghazan

The Importance of Money
Security
Money provides us with a sense of
security as it ensures our basic
necessities are taken care of.

Comfort
Money can help us to lead more
comfortable lives by affording us
luxuries that would be otherwise
unattainable.
Good deeds
Money allows us to make positive
contributions to society through
charitable donations and social
causes.
The Dark Side of Chasing Money
1 Decreased Happiness
Research suggests that individuals who
prioritize money over other factors like
personal growth and relationships are
less happy in life.
2
Stress & Anxiety
When money becomes the sole focus,
people often experience stress and
anxiety, which can take a toll on physical
and mental health. 3 Devalued Personal
Relationships
Chasing money may lead to neglect of
personal relationships, impacting one's
social life and emotional well-being.
4
Work-Life Imbalance
Chasing money can often lead to longer
hours and increased stress levels, causing
an imbalance in personal and
professional spheres of life.
Finding a Balance Between Money and
Happiness
Reconnect with
Yourself 🧘
Take some time to evaluate
your priorities and goals.
Decide what's truly important
to you.
Practice Gratitude 🙏
Reflect on what you have and
be grateful for it. Appreciate
who you are and what you
bring to the table.
Give Back 💖
Use your wealth, or time, or
resources to give back to
society. It can be a powerful
source of fulfillment and
motivation.
Education and Its Role in
Shaping Our Mindset
Education shapes our worldview and influences our financial values. It also
teaches us how to manage finances and plan for the future, setting us up for
financial success.
Alternative Measures of Success
Family & Relationships
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Cultivating healthy
relationships with loved ones
can be a fulfilling measure of
success.
Shared experiences
Quality time
Trust and support
Personal Growth 🌱
Progressing in areas that matter
to you individually can be
another way of achieving
success.
Professional development
Hobbies and interests
Learning new skills
Contribution to Society
🌍
Using your skills, knowledge,
and resources to make a
positive impact on society and
the environment can be a
meaningful and fulfilling
measure of success.
Volunteering
Activism/advocacy
Sustainable living
Conclusion
Final Thoughts
Money can buy us comfort,
security, and options, but it can't
buy us happiness or fulfillment.
Invest in Relationships
The most important things in life
aren't the things we possess, but
the people we share our lives with.
Wake up to Reality
Money is an important factor in
life, but it's not everything. Focus
on what matters to you and invest
your time, energy, and resources
in it.
