Money is a strange phenomenon. In fact, it is just pieces of paper or digital digits on a screen, but a whole world is built around them. They govern destinies, change relationships, and influence the decisions of millions of people every day.
Why do we love money so much?
Money is not just a medium of exchange. It is a symbol of power, status, and freedom. With it, you can buy not only things but also time, and even peace of mind. Imagine: you can hire an assistant to do routine work, thereby freeing up hours for creativity or rest.
Money as a mirror of personality
Often, a person's attitude towards money reflects their inner world. Some live for today and spend everything at once, some save and fear taking risks. And some know how to manage it wisely and make money work — creating new sources of income.
Money creates an illusion of security
We strive to accumulate a 'reserve' to feel secure. But true security is not just numbers in an account, but the ability to adapt, learn, and embrace change. Money is an important resource, but not the only one.
Interesting fact
The very first currency in the world appeared around 3000 BC in Mesopotamia. Before that, people exchanged goods directly — for example, sheep for grain. Money simplified life but also brought new problems — greed, inequality, crises.
How does money change us?
When a person has a lot of money, their perception of the world changes. There are more opportunities, but also more responsibility. Sometimes wealth brings loneliness and distrust, because not everyone wants to see a person as just a person, rather than a number.

Conclusion: Money is a powerful tool and at the same time a mystery. It can be both the key to freedom and a source of stress. It all depends on how we learn to handle it.
