The Best Things in Life Are Free!

Please make a comment to answer and discuss these questions in class. Scroll down and post your ideas:
  1. The Beatles sing, "The best things in life are free!" and they sing, "Money can't buy me love." Do you agree? What do you enjoy that is free or not very expensive?
  2. The Beatles also sing, "Give me money! That's what I want. Love won't pay my bills!" Why do you want money? What do you want for your future?
  3. Some people get in trouble with money. They spend too much and get in trouble with credit cards or loans. What do you do to be careful about money?
Of course most people say love is more important than money, and that money cannot buy happiness. Still, we need some money to take care of our lives and our families and our world.

Look at two old videos about money. Think about how you spend your money and your time. Take our survey about money! You can click here to read the lyrics for the first video.

I try to save money for my future because I don't have a lot of retirement money. I also save for my children to help them. I worry a littl, but not too mucy. I like a lot of inexpensive things like walking at the beach and gardening. So I can that for free, or almost free!

Hi! Venette

I always agree the sentence " money can't buy me love", money can't buy healthy and happiness, but when you don't have money you like without energy to go up. Sometimes more confused inside, but that is importdent rule in our lives.

I don't think it's a good idea of everything is free.If everything is free in this world,maybe nobady want to work, and everyone only want to enjoy the life,then the world will always keep original.I would enjoy a lot of inexpensive things.
I don't think money can buy me love ,either.I think money can't buy love,but also without money peple can't live only have love.
There is a byword in china: If you have love ,you drink water can fell full without eat food.There is another byword in china: poor spouse have more arguement.Which sentence do you agree?

Hi,
People work hard for the money. spend more money and save less money. Do not use visa card too much.

Money is very very very good for life and people need love for life too.

To save money is hard for me, because I want to spend or buy some thing all the time, but, I have a saving account for the future or an emergency event.
Love is very important, but I love better if I have some money in my pocket.

I agree that the best things in life are free because everyone wants to be a freedom life all
over the world.
I agree that money can't buy love because love is created for a personal emotion for everybody.
If there is no love,everbody will not survive in the whole world.
Money is also important for every human.
If I have a lot of money,I Can buy an own house.I can implement for my dream in the future.Everyon wants money for their lifetime.
I always save my pocket money.I never use my money uselessly.Tyng

Having money can't do every thing, but no money can do nothing. So we need money but not too much money to take care our life. Don't be in truble for money and make a good budget for your life.

Money is important for all people
in life. many people can saved money for future. Many people can't save money and some more people spent more and more money now. They spent money from credit card from the bank or some people are unemployment or some people are work low salary. I try to save
my money for life because I have not a lot money from retired.
