Money Rules Everything

Today, I’m going to discuss a topic that I know many of you here may strongly dislike or disagree with, but I will talk about it anyway! Money rules everything; whether you like it or not, without money, you will suffer no matter how smart, creative, sexy, or unique you are.

One of the most frustrating things I see about people is that they overvalue their talent and promote themselves while struggling to solve the most superficial everyday problems that require little money. There is always typical bullshit circulating on the web that “money doesn’t buy you happiness, health, or love.” I think it’s time to upgrade our thoughts and realize that we live in a highly materialistic age, and if money doesn’t buy love or happiness, it does help you the way to gain it.

Suppose you want to attract someone you admire. In that case, the likelihood of making them fall in love with you increases significantly if you combine kindness with taking them to excellent restaurants, buying them beautiful gifts, and taking them on exquisite vacations rather than relying on kindness alone.

There are plenty of nice guys, yet they still find it challenging to go on a date, while some not-so-nice but rich guys will marry some of the most beautiful women and live a happy life. Meanwhile, handsome yet financially struggling men often find it challenging to ask a woman for a simple dinner.

It’s tough to measure kindness and love, and they change over time anyway, with or without money, but the ease of financial comfort can fix things and make people feel better. However, smiling at your spouse all the time while struggling to pay rent at the end of the month might end your marriage. That’s the reality!

Being the “nice guy” doesn’t cut it anymore; if her friends are having the best days of their lives while you ask her to spend her entire life in a shithole and eat at the cheapest restaurants, it’s going to be a challenging idea for you to sell. Attempting to make her fall in love with you despite your financial struggles means asking her to sacrifice many desirable things. Holding onto such unrealistic expectations is not only dreamy but selfish.

If we talk about health… Nowadays, even health comes at a hefty cost. It’s becoming more and more expensive than ever to shop for organic and healthy food, get the best health care and buy the best medication. So many people are at the bottom to serve that the system can’t afford top-notch and equal quality for everyone. What pisses me off is that until now, after everything is happening in our society and all the stress that comes from financial struggles, many people can’t accept that money is actually what rules everything.

They still don’t understand that money builds and destroys relations. It controls your life and society’s nervous system. People nowadays marry for money, become friends because of money, and kill each other for money. What makes it worse is that some self-help gurus talk all day about kindness, compassion, talent, and all the nonsense crap to fill their pockets and leave the rest broke, poor and desperate.

They idealize life with concepts grounded solely in abstract philosophies, fleeting love hormones, and a lack of practicality, revealing themselves as ignorant, numb, foolish, or deceitful. If you’re still blind to this reality, it’s high time for a slap in the face to awaken you from this dreamlike state before the harsh realities of the imminent future come crashing down on you.

People look at me and envy my level of calmness. They describe me as relaxed, happy, wise, prosperous, and confident. They don’t understand that the underlying principle of that calmness is financial security. I don’t think of life at the same level of stress and fear as they do. I don’t freak out if the economy drops or I lose my job. I don’t fake or ignore that if I want to make new friends or find new deals. I will leverage money to buy them things they love, invite them to beautiful experiences, or offer them opportunities that make them more prosperous.

Many people have yet to realize that you can purchase almost anything with cash in this era. At the core of my thinking, it’s not love, kindness, compassion, care, or other emotional factors; these concepts are transient. Instead, I use them merely as tools, in conjunction with money, to influence how people feel towards me or about themselves.

It becomes a bit too serious and dry if I only talk and present myself as filthy rich with a briefcase full of cash. They might think I think cheaply of them, but with little emotions and kindness, things get more digestible to humans. At the centre of my interaction with people sits money. It’s not because I love money. It’s because I know I live in a highly materialistic society where many people greet me with smiles and provide excellent service, especially when I offer them a generous tip or a handsome fee for their efforts and service.

You can never get rich if you don’t understand that money rules everything. You won’t be prosperous if you don’t respect the fact that money builds and destroys friendship, love, and loyalty. That said, you shouldn’t worship money or make it the most critical thing in your life; that’s not the point. Money is merely a transactional medium that accelerates the process of acquiring desired things. Money serves as a vehicle that ensures security and comfort for you and your loved ones. It’s a tool, not a god. The key is to earn a substantial amount and then wisely use it to build a better life for yourself and to help others.

If you want to rule with money, rule generously, humbly, and wisely. Otherwise, money becomes a dictatorial power; it destroys every beautiful thing around you. In such a scenario, it’s game over for your life, regardless of how much cash you have in the bank.
