Money is power - Do you Agree?

    I've recently made a lot this weekend. I was a complete DP newbie who was scavenging around looking for job offers but had enough skills to make decent articles in english. But that's not the point. I just wanted to make an example

    Now I have enough funds to manage myself and post the job offers, not find them. And it's a completely different feeling and experience than to waiting for people to reply saying 'Yes, you can do this but blah blah blah".

    Who agrees with me that money is power?

    OR

    In the philosophical debate - Knowledge is power.

    Which one wins? Money or knowledge?

    With money you can act. But obviously money is not everything and can corrupt. With knowledge you can make the money! But this is difficult when you have nothing to start with. What do you guys say?

    Money is definitely power but what matters is how you use that power

    If I can select only one of those two, I would choose knowledge over wealth. With knowledge, you can then put in hard work to earn the money.

    With knowledge you can start earning money. With money, you can start improving your knowledge.

    Knowledge and money are 2 thing that goes together this day.

    Wow I'm pretty suprised at how many people go all out with money. Don't you guys think that knowledge is just as important?

    Money and Knowledge should complement each other in a way. How can you make use of your Money if you don't have the Knowledge to go about it? On the other way around, you need to invest if you want to broaden and make the most out of your Knowledge.

    Money is Power if you know how to handle and use it (And where to use it). And the power goes up.

    I agree with you that "Money is Power" but my question is whether that will give you peace of mind? :confused:

    I believe that in the older eras, knowledge was most certainly more important than money. But, with the capitalistic society we live in now, money is, without a doubt, more important than knowledge.
