Money which is a medium for acceptance payment of bills , means of settling debts , and medium of exchange is a tool that allows acquire properties and basic needs or wants which we like . For survival some of these basic need include food , shelter , clothings . etc . Spending money is addictive and a lot of people choose to spend money as a result of the high amount of income they earn from work some people choose to spend money as a result of pressure from others. whatever the case maybe it is important to always watch and not ignore your spending habits.

that is why it is advisable that money which are not for spending must be saved or rather be invested to acquire more money . People who have bad habit of spending money must first of all remember that their future is very crucial and just like unforeseen circumstances are unpredictable it is important to invest and save and only spend when you have to . Time is considered as a means of which money is earned and so wasting money on irrelevant spending shouldn't be a major priority of a reasonable and sensible individual but investment and savings should.

For a very long time in human history, people were not really using the physical money that we are presently using but instead they were doing trade by barter or using other forms of currency . This has really evolved over centuries of hard work and people have now come to the conclusion that they should have a central currency in which people can be able to use. In today's world it is basically impossible that you can be able to live your normal life without having to spend money. There are some certain platforms that are definitely not going to allow you to exchange a particular product that you have for another one instead they will prefer that you sell it elsewhere and then bring them money which is the generally accepted means of exchange.
This is also why investment is very good as it is going to help you to double your money and you should learn not to keep money I do in the bank as you have rightly stated. Only personal perspective I usually try to invest in cryptocurrency because I believe that it is still a very early project and with time it is going to be adopted by a lot of company.

The reason why we are struggling so hard to get the money is to spend it as well, use it wisely, solve our needs and have a happy home. I understand that money isn't everything in life, but it is very necessary, you won't just stop at some point and stop chasing around money and expect to have money coming your way. One must work it out, or the person go broke all his or her life, the day it ceases from doing what's beneficial and bringing money in. We should not spend all we are making online, at times their is always rough time, when it comes, it makes an individual go through some money challenges, those emergency savings which you were able to save will help you alot to survive the dry period, that's why it is advisable to make savings and invest widely too. Because, no one knows tomorrow, we are simply living in a world full of unheralded circumstances, it might simply come all of a sudden and hit us just the way covid 19 struck. But with the savings we've made coupled with wise investments too, we wouldn't stand a chance to suffer the dry period until it's over.

Your are absolutely right i am agree with you money is not only made for spending but we should think about our future and saved it because nobody knows what will be happened in the future a job will be present in the future or not or we should saved some money if it is difficult for someone to save money then the other way through which they can saved their money by investing their money in some business it is not essential that we spend all the money that we earn from it we just fulfill our needs and save the money that is left behind

No matter how we may try and no matter how it may be there is no how we won't stop spending money because money is really essential for the upbringing in the life of everybody that is still living and it is believed that only the Dead cannot spend money because they do not feed, they don't buy clothes and they don't do any other thing that requires money.

But as long as we are still alive and we need food on daily basis, we needs clothes and shelter we will always spend our money in one way or the other because it is just a normal aspect in a living man's life.

However there are some people who spend less but there are also some people that spend much because they may not likely know how to control how much they are spending. Because of this a lot of people are always advised to try as much as possible to manage the little resources they have to make the best use of it than to spend excessively on things that are not really important , except you are capable of spending excessively because of High financial status , but even with that it is still not the best option.

This is absolutely true! in as much as acquiring money is hard, The way we spend it determines whether we will be rich or remain poor
Rich folks spend wisely. Investments, savings are the top bills they settle

On the flip side, reverse is the case of the poor folks as investment and savings only comes after enjoyment.

Enjoyment is not bad itself, but one have to be careful not to spend too much of his income on that, because it may be detrimental to the financial status of a person especially when it is done in excess.
It is advisable to enjoy in excess after one has attain a significant level of wealth

Spending money cannot be bypassed because money are made to spent as a medium of exchange.

You give out money and get value in return, that's how it works, where most people get it twisted is, they can't live within there means, they always want to appear rich and spend like the rich does, as a result of this mentality, they end up broke or just a salary away from being broke, no savings or investments.

If you don't live within your means you'll always be in debt and you'll never be satisfied with what you make.

To achieve financial independence you need to sacrifice a lot to investments and scalable business ventures, because that's the only true way to financial independence, I really don't think one can get rich off his salary, because your salary growth is linear and not exponential, your income can't grow *1000 in a year.

Most employees get 1.5% increase and that's after they ask for raise, but a scalable business can just spike up within months or years and it'll make the owners filthy rich, typical example of this is the zoom company.

They saw a tremendous growth during the Covid era and all of the founders are billionaires now.

Hmmm, there are a lot of reasons why we spend money, first I will to say money is the only thing that is generally accepted as a medium of exchange all over the world. And as humans we have several needs that needs to be met by us on a daily basis. Although all our needs has it roots to the three basic need of humans which are needs for food, shelter and clothing. Without satisfying this basic needs life will be a living hell for us here on planet earth. We will be living as salvages. I could remember a scholar who ones said life for man in the state of nature is so poor, short, brutish,and nasty. That is the basic truth because we will have nothing to coordination our thought process and it will take us a far back the era of trade by barter. It will be very difficult to quantify things and life would have been very hard. So when we look at it from that angle we will see that money is that money actually serves a lot of purpose in the life of man. It is even used as capital in starting a business.

Money is so powerful because it is the only thing that happy been given that ability to be generally accepted by all as a medium of exchange. And as human being living here on planet earth we will definitely be in need of money becauee we have somany basic needs that we will require money to do thrm even on almost a daily basis, like Buying and selling of food, and we know how important food is to our lives. With our food we cannot survive here on planet earth. Another very important use of money is to get us shelter, we can not be living like the primitive people that lived in caves and forest like animals hence we need to get a shelter where we can lay our heads and feel very safe and comfortable aswel. Then we also need money to get us clothes to come up our nakedness, and protect us objects that can cause harm to our skin also to keep us save from all forms is weather conditions.

Money also play more role in our lives as we need it cater for our bills aswel, medical bills and even educational bills, there is somuch we need money for.

The truth of the matter is that spending of money cannot be avoided. Like you stated, there are so many things we need money for. The best thing to do would be to create a budget and a plan for your spending. List out your needs and wants, then place your important needs at the top of the list so you can attend to them first before anything else. It would also be wise to save see part of your earnings and as well invest some.
