Everyone needs money. If we do not have money, we cannot afford basic necessities such as accommodation, food and clothing. Worse still, some people will die from hunger and cold.

Many say money does not bring health and happiness. But when we are ill, we need money to see a doctor. Rich people can afford annual medical check-ups and health supplements. Although money cannot directly buy us health, it can be used to improve our health.

Why do most people love shopping, singing karaoke, having a nice meal and watching movies? It is because these activities make them happy. Some say they are happy just talking to their friends. Friendship is valuable, and money cannot buy real friends. But it can provide us with entertainment.

I'm not saying money is the most important thing in the world. I just think we cannot survive without it.
