Wealth, Its in the eyes of the beholder. This may be a very true statement but I believe that most humans have a needs that are met with money. These needs have changed with the times but never the less humans in the world we live in have need the need for money. There are people that will claim riches don't make one happy or that its not necessary. I have to agree with these claims however driving through the rain a new Mercedes doesn't really hurt or make someone wish they had nothing.  We live in a world and society where money has and demands power, you may ask your self if this is the type of world you wish to live in. However I remind you that we have no choice and this is the hand that we have been dealt. So in reality no matter how much we wish money didn't have the power and value that it has today, there's nothing to do but make sure you don't get left behind. Because of the constant drive for money that pushes our world, things are forgotten, overlooked and just not cared about anymore. As sad as this is money not only has power, it consumes time! In the end I think its clear that money does indeed have value and worth any way you look at it.
