Money in our life
The word money derives from Latin “moneta” which was one of the name of the Roman goddess Junona.
What does money really mean for people? Some people think that money makes us independent, well organized, goal-oriented and confident. The vast majority believes that the purpose of work is to pay for their other interests. But only small group of people say that they are happy because they are successful.
Psychological and sociological research has shown that once basic needs are met, money has a very low correlation with happiness. Even the joy you’d feel if you won the lottery would last only a few months. Most of people acknowledge that having more money means having fewer problems. People at the top of income pyramid rarely consider themselves affluent and certainly not wealthy. “Middle income” or “comfortable” are the two most common labels we hear.
A lifestyle that includes most of the things we want is profoundly richer than 10 years ago. Our houses are bigger, we own more technical devices, we eat out more often and we are more likely to travel.
All values in the economic system are measured in terms of money. Our goods and services are sold for money and that money is in turn exchanged for other goods and services. Originally, a valuable metal (gold, silver or copper) served as a constant store of value. The first coins weren’t round like the coins today. People first used round coins in Turkey about 2. 700 years ago. Bank notes were firstly used in China in about the year 800. Today we use both coins and bank notes: coins are for small amounts and bank notes are for bigger amounts. Factories called “mints” make coins and bank notes. The first bank opened in Italy in 1171, since then banks have opened in cities and towns throughout the world.
Today many people use credit cards to pay for things. Valuable metal has generally been replaced by paper notes. Personal finance depends on the state of the economy, on your age, on your willingness to tolerate risk, on the nature of your goals.
