"Being rich is more important than having close friends."

I was very unsure of what I thought of this question. I think it is true to a certain extent, but it is also not true. I think that making money is very important in life because almost everything is based off of money. Money fuels life even though some people do not view it as the most important thing. I feel like people sometimes associate making money to being a horrible thing to think about it. But the reality is that you need money if you want to follow your dreams and live a happy life. For some, they do not need a lot of money to follow their dreams but at least somewhere along the way money will be essential to them surviving. So for this reason, money is extremely important. I think that making money and being rich are completely different things. Being rich to me means having more money than necessary. Making money is a different thing. Making money is finding a way to be able to support yourself and your family if necessary while being rich is finding a way to make yourself and your family have a lavish lifestyle. If you're thinking about being rich in that way then it is definitely not more important than having close friends. But money is important to life so that is almost as important as close friends. However, close friends are also vital parts to a happy life. Close friends are there for you when nobody else is there for you. For this reason, close friends are just as important as making money. There are many ways to look at this question and the idea of the importance of money vs. the importance of close friends. I think that to a certain extent money is just as if not more important than close friends but being rich is not as important as close friends.
