The value of money can change depending on the person, but the desire for money is unbeatable. most people beleive money can be the solution to all of their problems. It can satisfy your basic life needs and then some. We live in a world where people truly believe money rules the world. Although there are some people who live by the phrase "money cant buy happiness", most of us will do almost anything to get as much money as possible because people see money not as just a piece of paper but as power. Essentially you need money to be succesful in the United States, so I understand why the desire for more and more money is so high.

People will do a lot of things to get more and more money. Because in the United States people are glorified by how much money you have. We glrofiy celebrities and people who are very wealthy, and most even wish they could be them. We see the glamourous lives they live and you cant blame someone for wanting to live the lavish lifestyle everyone adores. With all of this people have a false value of money, in that money is power and that if you have more money you will have less problems. So in America, I would have to say that the value of money is very high, because in America we see money as power.
