Money driven

Dreams, hopes, a life of luxury-what drives you? In this world, people are driven by many things, be it physical, emotional or material satisfaction. Even having to work means earning a status, a living. And it all boils down to a need for security-mainly material. As human beings, we are built for survival, for an innate desire to gain a secure place in the world we live in. But what do we actually work for? Here's a check list: Food: check. Clothing: check. Unpaid bills: check. Wealth: triple check. It's almost as if money has become a major factor why people keep their noses to the grindstone, working long hours and even breaking their backs just to earn money. For most people, the saying "money makes the world go round" is plausible. It is a quotation that implies the role of money and its impact in our culture. Simply put, without money and its continuous circulation, there won't be possible progress and needed movement in this world. Many companies or manufacturers won't be able to produce goods and products without money, and same goes with the consumers.
