What is the purpose of living and earning money?  quora

This is a very deep question but also an exciting question, as the answer is completely up to you; you can craft the narrative of your own life to develop the answer to this.

I’ll start with the latter half of the question “what is the point in earning money”; my personal belief is that money is a facilitator to living the life you want to. Obviously you need to use this money to pay bills, feed, water and house yourself (and maybe a family), but the rest is up to you. I personally do not spend a lot of money on “things” such as clothes, shoes, fancy dinners, cars, soft furnishings for the house etc, as I don’t believe they add much enjoyment or value to life. They appear more to create a materialistic world consumed by short term pleasure. Instead I spend money on experiences that make me happy; travel, spending time with friends and family and writing. The point is though, these things make me happy which is why I invest time and my earnings into them. Other people strive for financial independence, and so place the majority of their earnings into investments which will earn them more money in the future and allow them to retire early. You need to find your own balance; putting money into investments and savings creates a strong emergency fund and future nest egg, but may detract from experiences you could enjoy now.

The above is coming from the point of view that you don’t sound like or enjoy your job; if you enjoy your job, then earning money is merely a by product for doing something you love day in and day out.

An alternative approach is that you don’t need to “earn money”; earning suggests that it’s an activity you have to do. Instead you can read up on passive income sources such as “compound interest” where interest is passively applied to your bank account year on year, dependent on the original capital in there. Additionally, investments in stocks and shares *tend* to perform best if left in there for the long term. Again this can create a passive income.

The former half of the question is “what is the purpose of living”; if you haven’t read Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor E Frankl, please please please do! He describes how there are three ways to find meaning in life: 1) through another human being, 2) through a piece of work, or 3) through suffering. These three quests for meaning all change throughout ones life but are the basis for our search for meaning. For me, they interchange as well, and I’m lucky enough to have never endured suffering, so they focus around the first two points. Please do buy the book on Amazon here, if you are confused as to the meaning of life.

Finally, I’d like to address the two parts of the question together: “what is the purpose of living and earning money”. We live in a capitalist society where money is the fundamental “token” used to compensate work, time, opinions, skills, items etc. This token is given a different weighted value dependent on what society deems a necessity or requirement in life. It's fundamentally important that find a way to make these tokens to meet your basic life requirements “food, water and shelter”; in term you also need to make sure that you are meeting your "meaning and requirements for life".

Dihua Street Offers Tradition and a Touch of ... | Taiwan News

Taipei (Taiwan News) — Cutting through Datong District is one of Taipei’s historic neighborhoods, Dihua Street offers visitors a glimpse of mid-19th century Taipei as well as the city’s thriving artistic side.

Running between Nanjing West Road and Minquan West Road, the street is known as being the heart of Dadaocheng, the oldest still-surviving neighborhood in Taipei, and for its traditional medicinal tea, sundries, and fabric and tailor shops. But there is still more to explore along Dihua Street with its historic architecture, art galleries and contemporary craft shops.

The government began promoting the redevelopment of the neighborhood in 1984, but there has been more progress in renovating over the last several years with new businesses moving in, particularly on the northern section of the street.

Of course, during the run up to Chinese New Year, even more visitors than usual flock to the area for the New Year Market, which shuts the street to vehicle traffic between Guisui Street and Nanjing West Road. The market attracts nearly 1 million visitors each year, according to government estimates.

This year Taipei launched free tours of Dihua Street and the New Year Market—one each in English, Japanese and Korean—that attracted a total of 150 people (the limit for each tour was set at 50). With vendors setting up shop in the street, the road is narrower for the large crowds perusing the goods that include street food, dried meats and produce, and new year decorations.

If you’d prefer to avoid the crowd of the New Year Market, there’s always plenty to see and do along Dihua Street year-round.

Shopping at traditional sundry and medicinal tea shops

Start your journey through the history of Taiwan with a glimpse at the shops offering local sundries, including local nuts and dried fruits and vegetables. Depending on the shop and variety of products, some of the dried produce are made with little-to-no sugar and salt. These shops also offer customers free samples, so you can more easily decide what to purchase.

There are also numerous medicinal tea shops. While some customers might not welcome the sight of dried shark and whale fin in the shops, the products have been a part of Dihua Street since the late 1800s. These shops also offer daily remedies such as ginseng, bird’s nest and dried wood-ear mushrooms.
