Money is a Means, not an End – Life In Charge

But because we spend our time thinking about it so often, we forget that money is just the tool to help us reach our vision.  Money is a means that allows us to reach our end goals.  The reason you hear people say that money can’t buy happiness is because those people whose ideal was to have more and more money were disappointed.  Money in and of itself doesn’t bring you fulfillment.
However, if you recognize that money is there to help you meet your needs and reach your visions, then it has been seen that money actually can contribute to happiness.  But that’s because money is not the end goal.  Money is simply a tool that helps us achieve our vision of a better future.  Money is a means, not an end.
