Money in this world has become an essential in this world. Money is something you can use to exchange with something you really need like food, computer, car, drinks, and many more.

Last time long ago, people usually don't use money but they use their things to exchange with another thing which they really want. This is called a barter trade. However, this barter trade can only exist if both sides agree to exchange. Let's say 'A' wants to sell his cows by someone giving him/her some turkeys and it seems 'B' has some turkeys and wants some cows. So, 'A' and 'B' can do a 'barter trade' with each other. By the way if 'C' wants some cows but 'C' doesn't have any turkeys, 'A' and 'C' can't do any barter trade.

As years and months passed, barter trade isn't anymore popular and money came in to replace the barter trade. The first kind of money which came into the world are like gold and silver.

Now, business can be done much more conveniently. People use credit cards, cheque, and with the latest technology, we can use the internet to do big business and earn lots of money in just a week or month. Isn't technology useful?

Banks has been establihed by the government and banks play an important role to us- keeping money for us safely. Banks don't only keep our money but they also give some interest or some dividend for our money which is kept in a bank and keeping the money in the bank is much more secure than keeping it at home. When you keep your money at home, your money can be stolen by someone else. Say, a thive. But if you keep your money and a robber comes and rob the bank, the money which is kept there can be replenished. That's why keeping in the bank is much more secure than keeping it at home.

Some banks has established a campaign so that the world will realize how important it is to keep money in the bank and they also explain briefly how banks give dividend and how money are kept securely.

By the way, parents can also encourage their children to keep money in the bank and teach them the advantages of keeping money in the bank. This is a good type of habit and can give a very bright future for them.

Sometimes, when you go and buy things, always make sure that the things you buy are really needy to yourself. This is a way which you can make it a habit to save your money so that at least you still have some remainder after buying. If you keep buying and spend your money unnecessarily, how are you live when your money is all spent? Always plan what to buy before you practically buy the things and make sure you really need it and you can afford it.

However, money nowadays have been misused by many people around the world. Money, now, is the root of many crimes and sins around the world. There are a lot of crimes which have been commited by people around the world which regards with money. For example, murder for money, robbery, pick-pockets, theft and stealing. All these regards with money. If it is not money, then what could it be?

These crimes are always getting more and more from year to year eventhough the government has taken a lot of actions and sometimes even give death sentence for sudden crimes but still all the hard work and sweat from the government is no use. They are not afraid with the retribution which is set by the government.

As many religions say, be content in what you have. If you read my quotation, you can say this quatation is saying not to be crazy for money. You don't need to be in a religion to be content in what you have. Even if you don't have a religion, that doesn't mean you must be crazy for money. You can be content in what you have even you don't have a religion.

I have one thing which is still left unsaid. Money too can influence the youths to join clubs or gangs which do bad things. For example, selling drugs and this can lead to a lot of things in the future and consequently, death sentence comes to be as a useful punishment. See, how money can lead to death.

That is why it is better to be content in what you have and don't be a money-face. If you are content in what you have, it won't lead you into big problems like what I have aforesaid. Always count your blessings and never dream to be rich. If you do and if you are unlucky, you may land yourself in trouble and death is always a possible thing to happen. Always think of the consequesnces in whatever you do. Sometimes whatever you do, you must face with a miserable and detestable consequences.
