Is youth of India running behind Money?

Yes abid,

It is said that money is the root of every evil.
It may be for making money .. you go in to the path of evil
or
maybe sometimes when you have lot of money,you may become evil...

Having enormous amount of wealth and possessions can’t bring happiness, they can bring a great deal of independence though. But independence for doing what? Wasting valuable time, energy and resources on unnecessary things and a frivolous life style at the cost of health, family and peace of mind?

Happiness is not at all richness.But we cannot say that they are opposite to each other.
We can only say that they are proportional to some extend .. Above and below it .. Its not so...

I do not agree with the view that youth are running after money.They may be anxious or enthusiastic about earning more money because of inexperience.But we are all aware that only a few of them are able to make easy money by dint of their merit.But most of the youth are either struggling to find a job or earn to have a decent living or to have their both ends meet.More than 60 % youth are actually struggling to find a job befitting their qualification.Then how can we say that youth are running after money.

Most of us are not getting jobs based on what we studied.Their are lot of people who are unemployed.Unemployment is a great problem.All are trying to get a good job.

Its not running behind money... But its struggling to run our life ahead ... !!

I agree with the fact that rich people are not happy though they have a lot of money but here i do not protest but request others to just consider on thing,is it the case with all people, can we be sure that Ratan Tata ,Vijay Malaya,Bill Gates ,Asim Premji are not happy at all. I dont think that is true.

The view that youth are running after money and materialistic in order to live a stylish way of life is equally wrong.Do you expect that an 18 years old youth dress or behave like an 81 years old grandpa ? Or can we tolerate an 81 years old man behave like a youth and follow his life style and way of living?

One thing we should not forget.Only a handful of youth who earn a decent income as well as youth born with silver spoon alone care for style.Go to star hotels; wear jeans; go to night clubs; but the youth who have a low income, eat in roadside running canteen;some of them consume country liquor because it is cheap;they do not know what is a star hotel; what is style;they too fall in love but their style of getting married is a simple marriage in a temple or simply eloping with his lover;

This group discussion, I am sorry to say, is speaking about the life style of a few handful of youth who are rich.They are not parameters to decide the the general condition of youth most of whom are wallowing in poverty.

If you do work hard and good right job which is not out of police law then its ok to get money by work.

to going club taking drink dance its all extra expense and you can say wastage of money.

Those people who waste money they do not know how money comes its demand hard work.

in wrong way making money is easy but right direction is very tough to earn money e.g. if you work on boddunan.com sites then its not easy to earn huge money easily it need lot of work even if you work till night then even you can not earn more than 300 Rs in a day or night but wasting money is very easy of Rs 300.

Dear Santhosh, I think you are derailing from the topic.It is not how the youth are spending their hard earned money.The topic is whether the youth are running after easy money.

Here almost all agree that youth is running behind money.It is the habit of society to join in the flow.That is what is occuring and being youth predominant we accuse it only on youths.It is the custom of world that "when country runs , run in middle".

Its not about being rich or poor. When you are poor, you run after money and when you are rich, you still run after money. The reason is that you are not satisfied with what you have. There are numerous things about your life that you want to change. You are constantly looking for improvements in your life and for that you need more money. Once you get what you want, you will demand even more and again, for that you will need money, even more money. There is no end to this running after money. This is a vicious circle which holds good no matter whether you are rich or poor. This goes on to establish the fact that money is not what you need, rather you need something called contentment. This 'running' will come to an end and you will be actually happy in life if and only if you are content with what you have.

No matter rich or poor, the basic needs of all human beings are the same. Of course there are people who are not able to fulfill their basic needs and they have no way but to run after money. But other than the basic needs, there are people who want more from life and to accomplish more they need more money. To have it they run after it, even if they have loads of it. It holds good for those also who don't have any of it. Agree or not, majority of people are running after money.

Same way, its not about age as well. Irrespective of being old or young, poor or rich, there are people who lead a plain and simple life which has lesser demands. They choose to be satisfied with what they have rather than run after money. These people are really happy in life.

Its not that these people are out of the world or they don't have any aim in life or for that matter, they are not a part of the society or contribute towards its development. Its absolutely not that. The only thing is that they have goals and aims in life which are above and much bigger than just the acquisition of wealth and material pleasures for the betterment of their own life and that of their family.

Only these people can be selfless enough to do more than just running after money. These people can actually add more value to the society and the country than others as they are not occupied with thoughts and efforts which are self centered to a great extent. Such people can be the real contributors, no matter old or young, poor or rich. They can be politicians, they can be social workers, doctors, scientists, engineers, teachers and so on. Only, their number is very less and its hard to be like them. Agree or not, the others are just running after money.

People are two types where some work for their needs and some for that extra money..Most of the youth now-a-days who work in BPO sector are from upper middle class family...Their families are well settled and they do not have the responsibility to settle the basic needs...Most of them work and study during their grad...It really focuses them but it doesn't really help their studies. They work and toil their precious education for money and pleasures which are not that important...Many of the persons who are in a higher positions in IT sector are no that old and they are stressed out such that they want to retire at an early age..

So if you want to retire early then you should earn together for that ages of retirement..so they work more stressing out those important moments in Life not even taking care of their family..They do earn money but they also earn more health problems with that and that's why Heart attacks...

It can be said that money is the cause for everything and Money hai to Honey hai and Monkey bhi hai..

Dear Friend,

Its nature of person when he need rest then he run and when they need run than they take rest.

so if you run with time then no need to run behind money.If you utilize your time in right direction then money will run behind you. nothing else concept is there.

certainly yes, considering engg fellows ... as i have seen the people joined for money in displine not of their concern . . .
they just work for their payment , if any other pays more they just shift there job
every body should be respectfull and responsible for job . . .
they should remind tat real talent ll be appreciated

Changing from one job to higher paying one is not running after money always because one enters a job that he gets first.It may not be according to his qualification.But to stand on his leg he has to be an employee.So accepts it.Later when he gets a job that suits his qualification he changes to it and it continues.Then only he gets job satisfaction.

In my state Kerala, almost all youth are educated and getting a reputed employment matching to his educational qualification is very very difficult.So even a post graduate will join as last grade servant.Then he tries for higher jobs.Situation teaches him to be so.Hence he cannot be blamed as running behind money.

"Wakt se pahle kismat se jyada na to kisiko milega aur na hi mila hai" even you run behind money or money run behind you.
