The concept of money is the fundamental view and attitude towards money, which is closely related to the outlook on life. Money is produced to meet the needs of commodity exchange, and gradually becomes a symbol of wealth with the high development of commodity economy. The bourgeois view of money has two characteristics, one is "money is supreme". Starting from their own class and personal self-interest, they put money in the supreme position and value money in everything. As long as you can get the money, you can stop at nothing. The second is "money talks". They exaggerate the role of money and advocate that "money makes the mare go", "money decides everything" and "money is happiness".

Money is a necessary condition for a happy life, but money is not equal to happiness, because human beings cannot live without spiritual life. People with rich material life and empty spiritual life will not have real happiness.

Children love money, so take it wisely and use it wisely. Money is not everything, but we can't do anything without it. Everyone has his own outlook on money, just as everyone has his own outlook on life. We live in a contradictory world, and everything has two sides, so we should have a principle to look at everything and things with a connected and developing eye. Money is closely related to our life. The status and function of money are not changeable by our manpower from ancient times to now. It is static, while we are dynamic and have great transformation ability, so we can have it and use it to realize our ideals. However, we can't go too far, it will be like a miser. The key to treating money is to see its great function and bright spot, so that it can serve us and help us to achieve our goals better.

How to treat money and power is a common problem in life. We should establish the outlook on life of serving the people wholeheartedly, and establish a correct view of money and power. Both the view of money and the view of power are important parts of the outlook on life, especially establishing a correct view of money, that is, a correct view and attitude towards money, is an unavoidable problem for everyone.

Many thinkers in history have shown a strong pessimistic view about money, money and life, money and society. Marx made a fierce attack on the fetishism of commodity currency, arguing that under the condition of commodity currency, especially in the capitalist society where labor is transformed into commodities and money is transformed into capital, this fetishism has an indelible attribute, which deeply enslaves or "alienates" human existence. Therefore, overthrowing the capitalist social system and abolishing the commodity currency system have become the basic premise for the ideal construction of a better society in the future. German social thinker Zimmel thinks that the reality that "money is a secular god" is sad, because money is just an empty form, not wealth itself, nor can it represent all wealth. "Money is just a bridge to the ultimate value, and people can't live on the bridge." Different from Marx, Simmel did not abolish the ideal design of the monetary system, but sighed helplessly in front of reality, full of endless sadness.

Unfortunately, we live in a historical stage and society where money exists. In the foreseeable future, we can't abolish money at all, but is it necessary for us to succumb to money or indulge in its pessimism? At least, I don't think it's necessary. For an individual, if he can live with money wisely, he only regards money as a tool or means of life, not a purpose of life. I am convinced that this life with real content and rich wealth structure is a relatively successful and valuable life, although it is not and cannot be a perfect life.
