Knowledge is more important than money!

You can take away the money that an individual has but it is impossible to try taking away the knowledge they have got about something .

Our world today is more of an information age, and the amount of information you have that other people do not have is what really determine how much money You're going to make .

This is a major reason why I am of the opinion that having the requisite knowledge of anything is much more important than having money .

The fact is that, if you have the required knowledge, you can make as much money as you want to do, no matter where you find yourself .

Lack of knowledge, especially financial knowledge, is what makes a lot of people who just got rich by chance to still go back into poverty, because they lack the basic principles with which wealth is a retained and multiplied .

A lot of young people today have been able to get some millions through lock and betting activities, but they still were not able to make any good out of it because they lack the needed knowledge .

In summary, there as much as possible to see to it that you require much more knowledge than you would always focus your energy on getting money honey.

People do say knowledge is power, but is that true when it comes to money?

Knowledge has so many benefits. It can help you make better decisions, improve your health, and even make you more attractive to the opposite sex. But when it comes to money, does knowledge have an effect on your bank account? Yes. The more you know about how to invest, how to save your money, and how to spend wisely, the more money you can end up with. If a person's knowledge of wise spending habits and investments allows them to retire earlier, they'll have a lot of extra time on their hands. And while they might not be able to buy back their time with money, they could use that extra time to increase their knowledge and make even more money—and so on and so forth.

Money can buy you things like food, shelter, clothes...the list goes on and on. But does it really buy happiness? It certainly helps if you're able to afford a nice home or car or take vacations regularly—but once that's taken care of, the link between happiness and wealth becomes less clear-cut. For example, people who are happy tend to live longer live than those who are not.

Some of my friends and colleagues in school and workplace usually ask me this funny question which goes " will you continue going to school if someone gives me the sum of 10 million dollars " I usually answer them yes I will still continue to go to school . Some of them with the funny smile on their face will ask me why will I continue going to school after seeing and receiving such huge amount of money that could change my life forever . I always tell them that the knowledge that you get from education is very important and can help you to the extent of managing your money effectively .

People who are among the illiterate class in the world today , may not effectively know how to manage money but when you are well educated you will be able to see money as a valuable tool that must be spent wisely and sensibly . You also be equipped with the knowledge of how to use money to make more money which is the ability to recognise good , promising and calculated investment where you can invest your money to bring out more money . The possibility for an illiterate to be able to recognise good and promising investments is very low . But when you are an educational literate possibly in areas of business and finance you will be effective in the act of investing ,spending , and saving .

Both knowledge and money are very important in the sense that if you do not have knowledge, there is no way you can be able to make can you make good amount of money for yourself and live a very good life.

If you watch the lives of people that have made a lot of money both online and offline you will realise that they are very wise people and they have proper knowledge and understanding of how to manage finances very well and they also do wise investments than the average person.

Knowledge will open you up to a whole lot of things and will also save you from a lot of troubles and make you to live a very comfortable life. It is too safe to say that knowledge is actually money in the making.


That should not take you away from the fact that money is very necessary and important in the sense that there is a level of knowledge you cannot be able to achieve or gain if you do not have money. Over the years a lot of people that have acquired some level of knowledge and mentality, needed a lot of money to do that.

Knowledge is more important than money. If you have knowledge it is just a matter of time to turn it into monetary value for yourself.

On the other hand if you don't have knowledge to handle a lot of money you are going to lose out everything at the end.

This remind me of a true life story I read in a newspaper few years ago. It is said in the story that two friends while migrating from a a particular small town to the mega City in searching for wealth.

One of the friends is working hours a cleaner at the carwash. You manage to abscond with a huge amount of money from one of the clients car.

The other friend do not have any pain but he is a medical doctor, a person with specialised. Both of them embark on a journey to mega city to create a prosperous life For themselves.

Upon the arrival, one of the friends with lot of money look out for a luxurious apartments to Lodge and think of a way out to establish business who is the money is absconded with.

The other friend who happens to be a doctor was offering free medical advice and treatment to people around him.

Overtime one of the friends with lots of money end up spending everything he has on him and he don't know what to do to start making money with it. He became poorer as a result. he joined the band account due to frustration and end up being in jail.

The medical doctor managed to save some money to establish a local clinic and start offering his job. Due to a good saving culture he has, he managed to establish a huge hospital in the city and eventually become rich.

Well that is what a lot of people are always saying most especially in school that knowledge is always better than money and that with knowledge you can use the knowledge to try to make money. In most cases sometimes in school they are always trying to do this just to make the students to concentrate in their education.

I actually believe so because with the right knowledge you can be able to make money profitably without any hindrances than a situation that you are just making money without knowing what you are actually doing.

You could ask someone two things between money and knowledge , A lot of people would likely choose money because they believe that if they just have money that their problem will be solved and they will have enough money to take care of their needs.

Sometimes knowledge is the most important thing in most cases because when you know how to handle certain things it will even be much more easier for you to earn with it and to even convert it to your own advantage.

In whatever we are doing we shouldn't allowed that little money to make us lose focus to achieve the right knowledge.

I agreed to your writing to some extent because without knowledge it is impossible for people to plan how to make money . Obviously there are different ways money can be made around the world and it requires knowledge for you to map out all these ways to be able to make money profitably..

But at the same time what we have to understand is that making money in any way will still requires money.
If I want to make $5000 on daily basis by establishing a refinery , I can not just establish a refinery with knowledge alone. I have the knowledge to establish a refinery, but to be able to achieve what my dream is I will need money to buy all the necessary things and to hire professionals to build up this refinery.

I believe the chance of you becoming success is very slim if you only have knowledge alone.

This is not just true. Knowledge and money both are very important and you cannot choose one over the other. If you have the knowledge, you can do things to make money, if you have money, you can build your knowledge and expertise. You need money to learn, without learning you cannot become knowledgeable. Some people say you don't need money to learn as you can learn from your environment. However, things you learn from the environment might not help you grow professionally. You can learn interpersonal communication skills or money management skills from your environment but do these skills actually make you money? In order to make money, you will need professional skills and you need money to build skills. Some say you can also learn for free online. However, in order to learn online, you need the internet and a device (smartphone or a computer), these things cost money.

I understand your point saying money can be taken away while the knowledge cannot be taken away from man individual because the knowledge have been a part and parcel of you which you can use anytime you needed to use the knowledge to have money ,
But the thing is that money and knowledge works together , simply because you at using your knowledge to make money either online or offline .
There are times and situation where knowledge can be achieved with money , for example learning a trade from someone that knows it need money to start learning the trade . like learning soap making and also learning of how to make bread need money to start learning it .
So the facts still remain that knowledge is the best thing that man can acheive that will stay with him or her forever while you can make money with the knowledge .

No matter how far we have massively accumulated wealth we definitely need knowledge so as to sufficiently and adequately manage the world that we have possibly accumulated possibly by establishing offline businesses or buy working online . Knowledge and the act of making money totally goes hand-in-hand to each other and to some extent they both cannot do without the other . When an individual's make money he or she definitely need proper knowledge and proper training so as to sufficiently and adequately manage his or her money in such a way that positively rewarding things will be what comes to his or her way and not a negatively rewarding things .

A lot of people luckily attend financial freedom even before they get to finish their tertiary school education and because of this they think that it is absolutely no need for them to continue their education and that is why they go ahead to drop out of school so as to enjoy the massive amount of wealth that they have possibly accumulated . An individual could really feel that way but to be very sincere knowledge is good in as much as money is also good .

I totally agree with you. Knowledge is very important, more important than the money that one has. This is because knowledge is innate, no one can take it away from you.

I once read in a certain book that when all resources are lost, you loose all your money, shelter and even get betrayed by friends. But with knowledge and skills, you will look for a job, build shelter and you can interact with people and fork new relations.

Now knowledge is not something you are born with. It may be passed down to you from your parents, but sometimes you are born into a generation of people with less knowledge to pass down to you.

So it is up to you to explore and educate yourself. You don't necessarily have to go for a four year college degree to be educated. Normalize reading books, discussing and debating with people, reading articles and watching educative videos. Knowledge is so powerful, worth seeking.

Well stated, just like my mum once said whatever knowledge you acquired will remain with you forever but Money acquire today can finish by tomorrow. Now what will help you to make that money again is your knowledge so knowledge is more worthwhile than any money because money like I always say it's a visitor it comes and goes at will but knowledge is forever is a burning thing that nobody can take it away from you.

it is right inside of you and when it comes out it becomes your power because the knowledge you can use it to exceed anybody's limitation when it comes to money somebody can exceed the next person. because one that is a millionaire today can be billionaire tomorrow.

This is always good to acquire knowledge. it is a great weapon that you can use with unlimited efforts so you should always seek knowledge more than money because that is the greatest weapon of survival.

Yes, knowledge is more valuable than money. Because knowledge can be used to make money. However, money will not help you gain knowledge. Although money can help you acquire learning resources, it is ultimately your efforts and determination that will help you gain knowledge.

It is my personal view that money and knowledge are equally important. And one can not be superior than the other. In fact a good balance between the two would be an ideal situation. Money can be robbed but not the knowledge. And one can always use the knowledge to gain back the money. Similarly if you have money in spare, you could use it to gain some more skills and expertise or in other words to fine tune your knowledge to make it more profitable and money making.
Money can't buy everything but definitely it's the basic needs that can be bought only through money. Knowledge alone can kot psy bills or buy you the basics like food, clothing and shelter. You should be able to put your knowledge for money making to pay your bills and put a decent meal on your family's table and a roof above their head.
One can survive without knowledge but jot without the basic needs that only money can buy. There are people who hardly have any skills but still manage to live by earning doing things that requires less expertise anf knowledge. But no one can survive without money.
So, it's quite evident that both are equally important. And it would be the best abd wise thing to do to make money and knowledge earn for each other. Make your knowledge earn you money, and put the spare money to further learn new skills and fine tune your expertise. Both used together and wisely would help one have a sustainable long lasting growth.

I quite agree. I remembered the words of one of my rich friends who said that even if everyone takes my money from me now and leaves me in the desert and only gives me a laptop and internet, with the information I have, I can reach my current wealth in a short time!:cool:

Without a doubt, having knowledge is more valuable than having money. It is possible to increase one's wealth by increasing one's level of knowledge and expertise. However, knowledge cannot be purchased with cash.
