what order of importance would you put these in
I was on vacation last week and ran into a retired teacher and he asked what order of importance would you put these 4 words in. There is no right or wrong answer and depending on your age the list order will probably change.
People
Morals
Things (Important things like something your child made or something you dh or so gave you)
Money
How would you list them?

I feel like I'm overthinking this. For instance, does People mean people in general or does it include family?
I'd say morals first, because they directly impact how I treat people.
Next comes people
Then comes things.
Then money.McD

Yep. Having morals first allows for a good relationship with people. Things and money aren't near as important.

I listed them the same way but I think that if I could I would put things and money on the same level with each other.

Good question. Money and things made me think a little more. Decided money was more important than things since a roof over my head was more valuable than things. But I could over think this and be here all day. lol

I put morals first because one should not deal with people who have none.

Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

I agree. If someone has no morals, people mean nothing. I think morals mold us into caring people. I don't associate with someone without morals. Originally Posted by McD

Although in my "real" list I would have Animals at the top. But you didn't give that as an option. Unless that would fall under things.LDR

The implication here that family can supersede morality? Originally Posted by McD
