There is nothing wrong with money by itself, but mans love/lust for money causes all kinds of problems. Money = responsibilities. More money = more responsibilities, not only to use it wisely, but to use it appropriately!
Money is symbolic, of I'd say power but what exactly its symbolic of is debatable. And, as a symbol I don't think it can be the root of anything, in the very least what it represented would the root. However I think its even further then that. Money or power is just no all inclusive enough to be cause of all stress.
I would instead define stress as a discrepancy between our perception of our actual selves and or lives, and our perception of a perfect person and or our lives. Money appears to be the cause of all stress as it would seem to most people to be the easiest route to making ourselves and or our lives into our perceived perfection. But, if a person had all the money he desires or if a person lived in an environment was money was not used I believe he would still feel stress because the flaws of our human nature prevent us from reaching any state of true perfection.

I feel that FEAR is at the root of all stress. Yea money, kids, relationships, bills bla, bla, bla. But if there was no fear of the un-knowe or the none of the end result in these things then there would not be any stress in them.
As far as money goes (fear and stress associated), the happiest people I know are those who make enough money to live comfortably and pursue their dreams, but not enough money to need advice on where to store, invest and maintain it. When money gets so big that it requires professional maintenance and causes/leads to worry, maybe one should buy something instead and cheer the heck up.
ok fishy ? for you can I post a thing in your thread that I teach people on how to live stress free?
I wanted to ask you first to see if it was ok with you.

yeah, a great majority of youth is non-stress. just wait until you're trying to fork out money for rent etc. Man I'm still youth but I'm finally beginning to grasp the concept of that. even in highschool you start feeling it, when you start leaving stuff to do to the deadline and everything is a frantic rush.
