  1. If I had a lot of money I would buy a huge house and a new car, the rest of the money I would saved it in a bank account to use it when I need it. It could change my life a lot because I wouldn’t have to worry about it and depends of the money but also it’s hard ‘cause you could get crazy for have a lot. The money is very important, not to buy happiness but we need money to supply our necessities and to get everything that we need like food or clothes, even to commute. Living without money is almost impossible because every single day we are in touch with it

  2. Well, if I had a lot of money I would probably make the house of my dreams, I'd buy a Ferrari, travel with my family around the world; help the needy people and the rest I would get into the bank for emergencies. Money obviously would change my life or anyone life, because it give us the opportunity to have all we want but without the least effort, so people with money have to try to “keep our feet on the ground” and help other people. The money now it's important because we need food, clothing and a house to live and without money we couldn’t buy all this things, but money is not everything in life, because it couldn’t buy happiness or love.

  3. If I had a lot of money I would buy a mansion, a car, clothes and shoes. I’d had amazing vacations and travel around the world. I would buy something for my parents, make a donation for some organization that helps poor children or something like that and of course saved the rest of the money in the bank. Having a lot of money will change my life in so many different ways I’d never have to worry about anything. The money is important because you can buy all the things that you need or you what but doesn’t buy love or happiness many people is happy having less money they enjoy live when people with money is always worry about making more and more money.

  4. If i had a lot of money I might keep it in a bank account because would like to have it and spend it when I need it, but something that for sure I would buy it is a house, like the perfect house and a very very beautiful car. I think the money will surely change my life, but also I think it would be a matter of making good decisions so in that way money would not be a problem but an advantage... I think the money it is very important because in today's society you can not almost do anything without money, so if you want to success you have to look for the way to get money, but obviously in a legally way.

  5. Well if I had a lot of money, first of all, I would probably buy a huge house for my parents, pay for my collage and then travel around the world, of course I would buy a house for me, but not here, may be in New York City, London, Paris, Sidney or Moscow. Also I would help people in need like children that doesn’t have anything to eat or clothes to wear in Africa and South America. It’ll change my life a lot because I want to help people that really need and with a lot of money I would be able to do it without worrying about where I’ll get the money and because I wouldn’t be concerned about getting a good job after collage and things like that. Money is very important now days because without it you wouldn’t be able to do a lot of things that are important however is not the most important thing, it won’t make you happier because it doesn’t buy happiness, there are so many other reason to be happy like your friends and family, but of course you need it for SURVIVE!

  6. if I had a lot of money I would buy a car, a house but in another country like Germany or France, I know many places like, oh and I also would spend buying clothes and many shoes would help poor people who really need money and donate money to any organization as orphaned children, would also give money to my parents to help them, if I have a lot of money it would changed me because a lot depends on money and would not have to be concerned about many things as I have to worry if obviously had no money and would have a very quiet life. Money is very important to everyone and is very necessary to live, but not the happiness of a person, maybe if it is very necessary to buy things but the money does not buy the love that is the most important or one of the most important things in the life of a person.

  7. Well if had a lot of money I would buy a lot of electric guitars and amplifiers! Maybe an ESP James Hetfield Signature guitar, it costs like 15000 dollars!!! I would also buy a really nice car and a big house, and then I would travel around the world. And it would change my live somehow because with the money I would do and buy lots of thing that I always wanted without having to worry. I think that money is really important nowadays, but not the MOST important like many people think… Of course it is important because we need it to buy food, clothes… guitars, Lamborghinis and more first necessity stuff like that xD… but I think that it shouldn’t be the most important thing in your live because it would not give you any happiness.

  8. I think that if I had a lot of money the first thing that I do will travel around all the world knowing new cultures, second I choose the most beautiful country and I built my dream house in there with all the things that I need and want. I buy a car of the year with a lot of space for my family and friends.
    The other that I do if I had too much money will buy clothes and shoes for me and for my mom :)
    Money nowadays is the thing that moved the world, sounds bad but if you don’t have money you can’t do anything with your life. It’s true that money not buys all the good things but helps a lot, money make your life easier and can give you opportunities. The most important thing in the world should be the LOVE! so, if you the chance to win good money use it good and give a part to people who really needs just a little of good and happy moments. <3

  11. I think that if I could have a lot of money I would use it in my life for many things necessary, like a big and spacious home for spend a lot of time with my family, a car for trips and for travel to college and I would pay for my studies and all the things that I need for my work. After that I would travel to
    another countries... I think that money is not everything in life but it's what keeps us alives because we need to eat, dress and study, and I do not think that money give us love but it help us to go out of troubles when we have to give a present to someone we love!:)

  12. Money is not everything, money is only a momentary happiness, when you buy something you are happy but after a while you get bored of that object and buy something else.The money these days is very low but also very necessary for living, products rise and the wages are not enough. But money can not buy love, can’t buy trust, can’t buy values. The friends you can’t buy and that's one of the most important things in life know that you have a friend with whom you spend a lifetime and that can’t be bought. It's like the MasterCard ads: a movie ticket .... 3000, 3000 food, spend a very good night with friends, priceless

  13. If I had a lot of money first I would be excited and enthusiastic because of it, but with that money I would buy a lot of things, the first thing would be a very big house with a very big yard and a pool. A gift for me would be a cool keyboard for play every day and a super car, and all the original CD’s of my favorite rock and metal artists. Help my family with everything they need and friends who really needs it, but the bigger part of my money I would save it to not spend it all in a moment. It would change my life because money could make it easier, I wouldn’t have so many problems with the prices of the things, I could go everywhere I want and keep my house without problems and fear to lose it for money. It is very important actually, because almost everything cost money and you need it to survive and have a comfortable life. But money is not everything in life, God, family, friends and all those things are the most important, but money it is important to survive nowadays.

  14. If I had a lot of money I would travel around the world, buy a new home, have the car you've always wanted. I love all the clothes shoes and bags I wanted, I would also buy a lot to my parents. I would also like some of the money to charity and to help people who can. I think the money if the person can change, I change in a positive way because I can help people who need and although it may be all you want that does not mean that you are completely happy. Now society is too consumerist and believe they are not happy unless they have money in their hands, for some people if it is important for others less so, although you need to live is not necessary to be happy.

  15. I think if I could have a lot of money, I’d probably, save half of the money in a bank, and the rest, I would spend it, buying an apartment in the city, i would buy a range rover and an escalade, and i would travel around the world with my mom, this money would change my life, in the fact, that i will never have to worry about work, and ill get things faster… I think money is important, because you can buy a lot of things with it, you can get whatever you want, but it is not the most important in life, because you can't buy things like happiness, time with your family and friends and friendship, I think that have values and principles, is more important that have money, although it's still been needed to survive.

  16. If I had a lot of money I traveling around the world, buy a house in the mountains of Norway, and a castle in Scotland and would do a floor of the castle with lots of candy and ice cream and another with a lot of clothes! And Buy an amusement park. I think in nowadays the money is important but does not take much money to be happy, I think the important thing is being with people you love and be healthy, because many people have much money and are unhappy, because there are many things that money cannot buy.

  17. If I had a lot of money first thing I would do would be to spend traveling all over the world knowing the most exotic places, later I wouldn’t going to work in the rest of mi life, with a lot of money I would have many modern cars and also a collection of old cars, buy two islands, visiting and helping many funds to companies that are responsible for helping people, help fight cancer and other diseases around the world and the most important thing would be a zoo in my house with animals more rare that exist on Earth.
    Today money is very important is that one performs better in everyday life, in the world not happen famines as now many people pass, however the money does not buy happiness because a lot of people have a lot of many and they aren’t happy because to be happy you have to live with Jesus in your heart.

  18. If I had a lot money, maybe I would do my own recording studio, and I will buy many different instruments for it.And if I had more money I would donate money to the needy, and maybe would create an association, because the injustice is huge in the world. And I think that the world need a peace and justice for all!!. And aobut the other point, that the money is important or not, I think that the money is important but not indispensable, and I will try not to change my way of being, and with my friends, and I would like to go out with them as I always have. Also I think that in sometimes money is a problem with a tiefs and others people suspected, that they would try to kill me, for for my earings.And maybe the money since many years, brought many conflicts and wars, the hegemony of the rich countries. And I want peace and harmony.I know that I would like my own car, and my own huge house, and would parties all the weekends. But I have to try to think about in other people before me.

  20. If I had a lot of money my life would be different because the money makes the lifestyle and live on an island where everything was more quietness in a big house, buy a lot of cars, I would have a large estate near the beach, I would travel constantly, have my own private yet., I would buy a lot of clouths and buy hotels as part of my dream and become a hotelier.
    Yes unfortunately the money plays a major role and almost indispensable today. This is REFEL articles on buying either food or clothing where the costs are extremely high. other case is housing where housing costs are higher and decreases the amount of their own home. Money represents a form of power that every one want to have.

  21. 1. If I had a lot of money, I would like to travel around the world, also I would help poor people who need it. In addition, buy land, houses, cars, motorcycles and other things. I would make some donations to charity places where there is not enough economic resources. Since people there, are not able to acquire necessary things for their live.
    2. Money is part of the happiness because you can afford luxury, trips, and enjoy a pleasant life, but it is not the complete happiness because you can´t purchase love and real feelings from people. In addition, you can´t save terminal illnesses with money. For that reason money is important for me, however, I am happy without it because I have my family and we are healthy.

  22. If i had a lot of money i probably would buy a lot of things, wisely off course, i also would travel around the world that it's one of my dreams. Helping to charity is one of my plans too if i had a lot of money. Even money can't buy all the good things in life, having a lot of money can help you not to worry about a lot of things.
    Nowadays money is the main problem of many situation around the world, like i said, money can't buy happiness which is really the most important thing in life, but it really helps, you can't be 'happy' if you don't have anything to eat, or if you are worrying constantly of the things you need and you can't afford. other problem is that people thik that money is everything they have, and the fight, argue, sometimes they even kill people in order to get more money, without realizing that at the end of their life they don't take ANYTHING with them.

  23. If I had a lot of money i would enjoy all the luxuries of life that can, first buy a house and cars for my family, i would put a important construction company and buy properties to negotiate. My life would not change in happiness because money cannot buy happiness but it certainly makes life better and enjoying the luxuries. I would also help low-income people, indigent people who can help them in everything you can so they can have a decent life because they are people like everyone else.
    In nowadays the money if it is very important in life, unfortunately so is the rich people enjoy the luxuries of life without limits, while the poor find it hard to get ahead in the essentials. However to be happy and have good values do not need money, you just need a good person and have a good training even where resources are limited in their home, in some cases the rich people are unhappy and feel your life empty.

  25. Well if I would have a lot of money I think that this money wouldn’t change my life because I would continue like the same person that I am. And if I have a lot of money I would buy me a big house and an expensive car and also I would help the kids in Africa and maybe I would travel around the world. The money nowadays is very important in the role of our lifes because if you don’t have money you wont make things that you want but if you have money you will make the projects to improve your life.

  26. If I had money, I would buy a great house with a lot of space, gardens and pool, because I would like to invite my good friends and would like to do many party . Also If I had money I would support needed people. There are needed people around who do not have food, clothe and neither home. I would like to create a charity place for people like that.
    Money is part of life but it is not enough. Money permits you to get material things but not internal happiness. Money means stability but is not complete satisfaction in our live.
    Some people get the possibility to ear a lot of money and their live change but in a bad way, they transform their personality they will be arrogant, selfish, egotistical, and forget their roots. I think that we have to enjoy life , saying thanks God and sharing

  27. well... today is the prefect day to speak about money.. because I lost mi cellphone in a cab! yes I know I'm an idiot..but this expirience made me think about the important things in life.. money and material things are not as important as the health and the feeling of feeling well with my life, and with God in my heart! money is important..but there are better things.. the love of the ones that are important for us is the best thing ever! a cellphone or 1000 dollars are good things, but that will never fill your life.. just the real love!...so I hope that my message might help someone... cause money, is not everything!

  28. I think that if I have a lot of money it not will change my life or my personality at all, because my fathers taught me good values and habits that the money don´t change, but one thing is right and it is that I will spend a lots of money in clothes because I like to be fashionable and see me good looking. Almost I will spend money in food because I love eat and most if I go to Mcdonald´s or something like that. I think that the money in this days is not important to be happy because if you have a lot of money you not have to strain and all the things that you want come to you so easy and you lose interest, but is indispensable to have a nice life because if you don´t have many money you can´t buy food or pay taxes and maybe you can´t buy a nice home to live with all you family.

  29. If I were much happier if the money is not everything, the most important is to have God in his heart, because he is the only thing we can to bring true happiness, of course q with money can live more comfortably, but money is only a complement to be happy, but some people can be completely happy without a lot of money. What I would like to get done if I had a lot of money would be spent on things like m more to me everyone pondered sharing with my loved ones and also help an institution that fights for the needs of society and need economic resources.
