How important is money to you?

Money is of course important as it firmly holds its place in our world since centuries. But it does not take the highest or an important place in my life. I have a few non-financial activities that satisfy me more than money.

I am pretty impulsive but have improved a lot with time and have understood that one has to keep learning and keep changing oneself for the betterment of his or her own self. I am trying to cut down on few unnecessary expenses.

Yes, but am not satisfied as they say ‘human needs are never satisfied’. So there is no end to feeling secure or insecure.
