Today, I want to talk about money. Is money important? This seems like a stupid question, and definitely, it's very important, especially when you don't have a house and a car. But when you have had them, and still have money leftover to deal with some unexpected things, I think it is not as important as you were before. So if you already have those necessary things for living and a certain amount of money leftover, please don't see money as much important, and then, you should focus on your health and your happiness. Even if you own all of the money in the world, so what? You still get old, you will also get ill, and one day, we are all gonna leave this world. No matter how much money you own, you can't bring a single coin to leave. So when you get enough money to live, money has become unimportant, and then, health and happiness are the most important things for human beings.

Corrections

I am American, so I would write the date like this: 10/14/20. It would also be correct to write 10.14.20 (but that is a little less common). Sometimes people omit the year: 10/14.

In pretty much everywhere else in the English-speaking world, it goes day-month-year: 14.10.20.

Perhaps there is a British person who can correct me if I am wrong, but I think the right way to write this would be 10/14/20 or 14/10/20, depending on whether you use American English.

Is money important?

This seems like a stupid question, and definitely, it's verbut money is definitely important, especially when you don't have a house and a car.

I replaced "and" with "but" because the second part of the sentence contradicts the first.

But whenHowever, once you do have had them, and stilla house and a car and you and have money left over to deal with some unexpected thingsituations, I think itmoney is not as important as you wereit was before.

Corrected for clarity (with "when you have had them," it wasn't clear that you were talking about a house and a car).

"Leftover" is an adjective that usually describes food that was cooked earlier and is now left over. For example: "Yesterday, my mom made lasagna, so we can have some of the leftovers for lunch today."

So if you already have those necessary things for living and a certain amount of money left over, please don't see money as muchall that important, and then. Instead, you should focus on your health and your happiness.

"Much important" is not grammatically correct. "All that important" is more colloquial, but I think it fits here.

I split the sentence in two because it was a bit long.

Even if you ownhave all of the money in the world, so what?

"Own" is usually for property or possessions. "Have" is the verb used with money.

You still get old, and you will also get ill, and o. One day, we are all gonnawill all leave this world.

"Gonna" is used very frequently in informal speech, but in writing, "going to" is much more common (and more formal).

So when you gethave enough money to live, money has becomes unimportant, and then. In that case, health and happiness are the most important things for human beings.

Thank you for your corrections and comments. They are very helpful. I have head of Beatles and will take a look on YouTube

Is money important?

TAlthough this seems like a stupidimple question, and it is definitely, it's very an important one, especially when you don't have a house andor a car.

One would argue there's no such thing as a stupid question. ;-) Although it is grammatically correct to say you don't have a house and a car, it sounds more natural to use "or". This is just a personal opinion, as what you wrote is totally acceptable.

But whenif you have had themboth, and still have money leftover to deal with somepay for unexpected things, I think it is not as important as you were before.then money becomes less important for you.

So if you already have those necessary things for living and a certain amount of money leftover, please don't see money as much important, and thenIf that is the case, you should then focus on your health and your happiness.

There is no reason to repeat what you have already stated in the previous sentence. Remember, brevity is the golden rule of writing.

Even if you ownhave all of the money in the world, so what?

You will still get old, you will also getcould still become ill, and one day, wlike the are all gonnast of us, you will leave this world.

I left the pronouns to be consistent to make the sentence flow better.

No matter how much money you ownhave, you can't bring a single coin to lewill not be able to take it with you to the grave.

Just to say "when you leave" does not necessarily mean when you die, even though I understood your meaning. You have achieved a higher level of writing in these past weeks that I think you are ready to learn more idiomatic expressions.

So whenIn summary, once you gethave enough money to live, money has become uns less important, and then, than health and happiness are the most important things for human beings.
