It is important to make a large
amount of money. Do you agree? – by Lim
Soo Min, A-levels, Taylor’s College
Are
you satisfied with your life or do you want to have more money? These days, we
can do most things if we are rich. For example, Bill Gates earns lots of money.
He lives in a big house, he can satisfy his wants, he doesn’t have to worry
about his old age and he helps poor people as well. These kinds of satisfaction
are due to being wealthy. Therefore, I agree with the statement that it is very
important to make a large amount of money.
First
of all, we can help poor people who need help if we are prosperous. There are
many people who need help because of natural disasters, starvation or medical
problems. We can help them by providing them food, clothes, shelter or medical
materials but these require substantial funds. If we have the cash, we can help
them by donating essentials to them. If people earn just for a comfortable
life, they would not have enough to give to others. They can still help some of
those who need help but they will experience a limit and have less opportunity
than people with a lot of capital. Therefore, I would like to earn more money.
Secondly,
we would be less stressed by financial problems if we have a high income. Some
people who only manage to make ends meet can suffer when they encounter ‘rainy
days’. If we have a generous salary, it will be easier for us to save for
emergency cases such as health problems or natural disasters. Moreover, we can
enjoy a comfortable old age. On the other hand, people who earn less might get
into trouble if they lose their job or fall sick. In addition, if we have extra
money, we can plan for long, relaxing holidays. People who don’t make enough
for holidays will get stressed out. This could result in illnesses in the long
run. So I think having lots of money would be less stressful.
Lastly,
it is necessary to be rich to have a comfortable lifestyle. For example, people
who have the means can buy their own cars so they don’t have to use public
transport. Moreover, wealthy people can employ others to do menial work such as
cleaning, cooking or driving for them. This is good for them, especially women,
because they can save time and have more leisure time to spend with their
children or enjoy themselves. Furthermore, they can live in a big and nice
house with their family. If they have children, they can provide their children
with a better education, good food and lots of toys. Thus, I prefer to make a
large amount of money.
In
conclusion, it is preferable to make a large amount of money because people
with lots of funds can help the needy, be more prepared for ‘rainy days’ and
live more comfortably.
