I know we’re taught that money isn’t love, but how irresponsible and unloving it is to not be financially dependable. I say having enough money is love. Where the money stops coming in, there’s something wrong in the love department.
For me more like responsible, hard working is the key. But through good and bad you know. That is what it should be. I always preferred someone to have fun with but how would money make you happy exactly ?
Just because having food, shelter, clothing and water make me happy and they all cost money.

Money can be part of the love puzzle but it’s not the whole thing.

I never cared for money at all. Always wanted to be independent until the illness hit me

To me, money is the roof over my head, clothes, food, etc. But happiness and love are things that money can’t buy.

that little pyramid the hierarchy of needs… money covers the basic needs and allows for you to focus on other things… so I agree with @everhopeful its def not the whole picture but it plays its part due to its integration in modern society…

No.
Life is free. Has been since it started. Just greedy selfish corporations and ignorant people destroying the land.
Living by bread alone isn’t really that hard its just people are lacking a sense of solidarity and lacking trust and faith.
Ever since I was young I could never understand the love of money and still I don’t.
This concept is especially lost today because the basic skills for living are all but dying since everyone wants to be a youtube star or famous in same way by peddling crap.
They don’t care to think if the system we have is not going to be sustainable nor do they care for the suffering it might breed elsewhere.
“When it comes to growing plants, one of the first mistakes modern systems make is mistreating the soil. The second mistake is that they do it again and again until there’s little more left than infertile earth with a chemical concoction to provide food for the plants. In the end, even that stops working, crops fail and new land gets designated for the privilege. Can anyone say unsustainable practices?”
Everyone in the family tends to get pissy with me for not caring about money, but what is it that they’re really upset about? It’s their own unfulfilling jobs, their poor relationships, their degrading sense of self, their insatiable appetite for material desires that bring them no lasting happiness, their jobs not paying them enough, the cost of living becoming too high…
Money should just be an afterthought. It gets what you need, but they have a gross misunderstanding of what is need and want. Their wants are out of proportion to their needs and as a result its all out of balance and they’re (secretly) unhappy.

Money is a tool for crafting yourself. Nothing more.
The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. I don’t think desiring the necessities is the love of money.

In my city money makes the difference between the quality of education, health care, retirement, housing, access to places you can go, and the food you have or don’t have. It’s definitely not the only thing in relationships for certain but love by itself doesn’t pay the bills very well. That’s especially true when it comes to children.
