Money allows us to fulfill our basic needs i.e. to buy food, shelter, clothing and to pay for our healthcare. Money can be a valuable asset in time of emergency. Meeting with these needs is essential for all of us, and if we don't have enough money to do so, our wellbeing and the wellbeing of the family can be in danger.
