Quotes

“The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.”

— H. L. Mencken

I thought that this was a really interesting quote, especially after stressing the importance of money in the previous quotes. In the end, we can’t take money with us, but there are so many things in our life that center around money.

If money really is overestimated, what is important? The obvious answer is the relationships that we develop with others. Whether it is friends or family, the manner in which we interact with others is how we will be remembered by most. A majority of people won’t really care how much money we did or didn’t have?

So why is it so important? Other than the obvious answer that we need money to exchange for goods in order to survive, there’s really not a whole lot else. What do you think?
