If you asked people what they wanted to have in their lives more than anything else, what do you think most would immediately say?

Many would simply say that they want to be rich or have more money. Others would say they want to be comfortable financially, or to never have to worry about money, or to have enough money to never have to work again. Some would say they want financial security for their family's future.

Some people will be more specific - to pay off all their debts, to own a better car, to build the home of their dreams, to be able to take exotic holidays several times a year, or to be able to make sure their kids get the very best education.

Some people will quote less tangible things like to find love, to be happy, to have more time for their greatest passion, or to be doing more satisfying and rewarding work.

However, it's a pretty safe bet that the most commonly expressed desires will in one way or another relate to wanting to have more money. Many people think that if only they had more money this will solve all their problems and they will then really be able to enjoy the life of their dreams.
