what will be your choice if you are given money or respect people often say that Respect cant be we know this is true but on the other hand we can not ignore the importance of money because like oxygen money is first need of your life we can not pass a single day without money so what you think about it ?
-
Money over respect. With money one can gain respect, but one can not easily gain money from respect.
-
In our society today, I think money is more valuable than respect because with money you can gain respect from people like our people say " money stop nonsense" so with money you can do so many things .
-
For me, I go for Money ! Is when you have money you will be respected because in this our new errand, if you don’t have money you won’t be respected. Everyone will always take you for granted because you don’t have anything to offer them, but when you have money even your great grandfather will prostrated and greet you because you have something in their to be respected for (Money). But in our Old days your money is nothing to them in fact without that respect or a good home training you will be rejected in the society! And you won’t be able to have anyone to call your own , talk less of having a good wife to marry has for a man. Because no parent will love to give their child hands to marry into an in respected family. But we should also know that respect is reciprocal, and money those not work in everything in this life, but respect when you have it ,you gain a lot ! So money is just necessity in this life.

Even though money is one of the most essential things we need to survive, we cannot ignore the fact that it can be obtained, purchased, or stolen.
While earning money can be done in a variety of ways, earning respect can only be done in one method. We don't buy respect; we earn it. One can be respected for the quantity of money in the bank, the position they hold, and the possessions they make. But contempt creeps in when those things disappear.
Respect is an implanted behavior that people got or learned from how they were trained and it seems to stay with them forever because they recognizes its importance it bring to other people's lives. Thus, I prefer respect over money.
-
Why choose if you can have both? Both are important in our life and having them both makes the balance we need every single day. It is like food and water for us humans. But if we can only choose one I think I'll choose money over respect because respect is all within us. If we learn to respect then we earn that respect from others as well. Money is harder to find than respect I think. I might be wrong but that's life.
-
No, I don't believe in money over respect. Yes, money is good but respect gives you value. Money is the root of all evil. So, you can kill for money? With respect, you can earn people's trust. One can have money without respect is it good? Money makes some people arrogant. That makes him ridiculed.
-
Well, that's a tough one. Both money and respect are pretty important in their own ways. Money helps us meet our basic needs and live comfortably, but respect adds a lot of value to our lives too. Personally, I think having respect is more fulfilling in the long run.

- This is just real talk. In this day and age, when you have a lot of money and the people around you find out about it, suddenly the people around you will be kind. They will suddenly respect you. When you have a lot of money, people will suddenly be close to you because they know you have something they don't have that they can take advantage of.
Especially for people who were poor before and suddenly became rich, people who weren't close to you before will suddenly become close to you now, and many will say that they are your friends, but when you had nothing or were poor, only a few of your friends believed in you. That's what money can do, but there are others who, even if you don't have money, still give their respect because they know you have a good heart because they see it in action.

Money over respect
In a world we all are, money bring respect. Having respect doesn't bring money, if you have money you will respected.

One can be respected for the quantity of money in the bank, the position they hold, and the possessions they make. But contempt creeps in when those things disappear.
Judging by our current reality, how will you earn respect when you have no money? It is very difficult. Morality is in the mud. The young ones want the elders to worship them. In my thinking, you can earn respect when you have money. Even in churches where morality should be high, the poor are not respected. Show me a rich man and I will show you a man who can command respect. People often respect those who have money because wealth is commonly associated with social status and power.
Some wealthy individuals are known for their philanthropic efforts and charitable contributions. People respect them because they use their wealth to make a positive impact on society by supporting causes that benefit others. I will take money over respect because getting money is getting respect.

In the society today, you can't mention any well known and respected person that is poor or that do not have money , money can give you power, authority and also it can boost your confidence.
There's no two ways about it, with money you can acquire all the respects you need, but if you're poor and have nothing to offer to people and the society, you will know that their is no genuine respect without money.
Make money legitimately and you'll get all the respect. Your question is just like asking someone to choose between money and food, knowing fully well that money can buy food.
If you ask me I will choose money, and the respect will follow... lol is logical.
-
For me, I believe I will choose Respect because it is the buried component that may improve your connections in both your personal and professional lives. Here are the reasons I believe respect is so important:
1. Respect builds harmony is as follows When you show respect to others, you're more likely to receive it back. This can result in a more peaceful environment, both at home and at work.
2. Respect minimizes disagreement: When you treat others with respect, you are less likely to dispute or disagree. This can help you keep a more peaceful setting.
3. Respect establishes personality: expressing regard for others.
-
Money. Yes, I chose money for survival reasons. Respect will only affect what you do, whereas if you earn money properly you will also get that respect. What's the use of respect if you live hungry and stressed? That is a difficult thing nowadays, where every need requires money as fuel.
I will only pay attention to respect, when I have settled and am able to stand on my own to eat and live my lifestyle.

Maybe the right question would have been Money or Reputation. Money will always beat respect because if you have money, you will be respected by many. Money commands respect, when you have money you will be respected naturally or artificially.
-
This topics is a very interesting one,but to me,there is nothing better than having money,whether you get respect or not,as long as the money is involved,people will still want to hear from you because money is that particular factor that commands respect.I haven't seen anybody who is so rich and financially bouyant and is not respected,with money,one can get any result he or she wants.
I think if one has money in this life,he can buy respect, because it is affordable,the moment people find out that you have money,they will always respect you.

I prefer to get respect because the money given can be obtained from other people, while those who give respect will sometimes also give a small part of what they have to appreciate what you have done.

Why would really be needing to have a choice if you could really actually be able have both? Respect isnt something that you could really gain because this is a behavior/values of a person.
Its not something that can be bought or something that could be easily gained. So i dont think that there would really be needing up some choices in regarding about this matter
on which you could actually have that respect at the same time you could be having the money. Money is that necessity on which we do know that this is something that you would really be needing on day to day living or something that you wont really be able to survive if you have none.

OP, the title should have been 'Money or Good name'. Maybe we would have more opinions on this. However, I will prefer money. This is because with money you can gain respect, since respect can be gotten from people by the way we treat them. If I have the money and use to do good, and help people in need with humility, I will gain their respect. Respect will not train your kids to school if you are broke.
-
The both are very important in the society today and in ones life. I would also want us to know that respect is earned as a result of ones inbuilt personality through training and possibly upbringing and height attained in the society.
I am not against the fact that money is not good but something more extra ordinary than that should be what we ought to long for. Money as we all know can be gotten through any means but it does not equate the name you have already made for yourself.
Respect I believe can page way for you to get money because that respect you earned in the course of engagements in your walk of life can earn you contacts, connections, and other things that can give you access to money. Do not forget that respect reciprocates in whatever way t is earned.
-
I'll choose money a hundred times over that sh**t you call respect, because na who get money them dey respect for this we country so. Bro just go and make money and you'll earn your respect, if you make lot's of money definitely you're having both money and respect all in one.
-
I will always choose respect in everything I do and for every opportunity to choose between the two, you can always earn money, and money just comes and goes but if people lose respect for you they will not believe in whatever you say and they will look down on you.
And besides respect is handed in every generation, if people have respect to you you are always welcome to be in their company.
-
In a simple and honest advise, just make money and you'll gain all the respect you seek for.
-
Money, cause we are living in a society that bases respect from someone's worth. Sad to say but its the reality. People my find you respectable cause of your worth and what can they benefit from you. But in some sense and situation, respect is more valued rather than money. But in general, its money that defines worth and respect.

Each person has different characteristics and will never be the same, that's why some people become very rich, some are still poor and there are also people who fall into the simple class. That's how God created humans who will never have the same fate and will all struggle in their own way to achieve their goals.
-
For me, I will choose respect because with respect I can be appreciated as a person and my self-worth is credited with respect I can gain connections with people which can help me to get more opportunities because they know who am I. But it depends on the person on what he/she will choose and it depends on the goals that we want to have but if we create a balance between the two choices I think we can feel a sense of fulfillment.
-
I would like to divide respect into two ways, one is the respect of good deeds of people and the other is the respect of money. When people get credit for a good job it's something to keep for a long time. But the esteem in terms of money is temporary and is a form of coercion. You will do good deeds then society will respect you even if you die. However i want to be respected because i can be rich anytime financially. But if you don't have respect, no one will value you.

I will agree with your opinion here. You see respect they say is reciprocal, as an individual, when you do the right thing in the society, you will attract respect to yourself and people will honor you. Respect brings honor and dignity. When you are upright and disciplined, abide by the law and also make sure things are done accordingly in the society, people take note of it and accordingly respect you for that and by so doing, you have earned yourself a place as a pace setter in the society.
Respect acquired through money is just like a politician who is in power. When the tenure of the politician elapses, they leave the office and the respect they have also leave them but if they did well in office their good works would speak for them and respect accordingly but if otherwise, it reciprocates. Same is applicable to respect acquired through money. When the money finishes, the respect also goes. If you use the money wisely, many would accord you respect as a wise man but if you do not, nobody would look or come your way
-
I will always choose respect in everything I do and for every opportunity to choose between the two, you can always earn money, and money just comes and goes but if people lose respect for you they will not believe in whatever you say and they will look down on you.
Same here, if I get the change of choosing one of those then I'll choose respect instead of money. Getting respect is much harder than getting money, I personally know some people who are quite wealthy but no one respects them and on the other hand I know some other people who aren't wealthy by today's standards but people give them a lot of respect.
That's why I will always choose respect over money because money can be earned even if spent many times but respect is one time's play if we earn it then we'll have to keep it safe and once it's lost then we can't get it again. +1

Respect is actually something worth it. If you earn respect, people would rever you so much that your presence alone would speak and command orderliness because they know what you stand for. I have come to realise that most times in communities and towns, whenever there is anything that has to do with decision making, the respected elders are the ones first sorth after before the others because they are believed to be the ones that have set the pace in those various communities and that what ever decision they take is always in the best interest of the community and the people. This is the extent to which respect can place an individual.

Your argument is not solid.
Money comes and goes;
Respect comes and goes;
If you don't manage your money well, it will go..
If you don't manage your respect well, it will go...
But if money is always there, there will always be respect.
-
Money is not before honor though. But in today's society money is given more priority. No one will respect you if you don't have money. If you have money then you will be respected even if you are not respectable. Still I will value respect more than money. Money will come and go at any time, but respect has to be earned. Only the creator is the owner of honor.

Now a days money is all in all we are seeing. We know respect is best then money. But it also true that without money no one can respect. On the other hand who has huge money people respect him.
In present world Ethics being value less. Who has huge money people respecting him either he dab man. I think both are need respect and money. I choose Respect first and then money.
-
This is the extent to which respect can place an individual.
Yes, I agree, even in my own community people prefer to ask advice of the ones who're respected citizens or elders.
Those people often help others in their matter than misguiding them and that's why they respect and trust those elders.
Even, those elders can easily get loans if they want but most of the times those who prefer respect avoid to take any loans despite needing it a lot.

Same too, I have noticed that no matter how poor a person is in the community, their uprightness accord them the respect they get. Most times, as a result of this, they are most often the peoples mouth piece in the community because they say the truth and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
In most cases, I have been in community meetings were they reach conclusion to visit some notable elders in the community to seek their consent and advise before action is taken on some situations as to avoid any unforseen circumstances. These elders they are talking about are not the high and mighty but the ones who stays with them in the same community whom they have known for years to be upright and highly respected.

Money comes and goes;
Respect comes and goes;
If you don't manage your money well, it will go..
If you don't manage your respect well, it will go...
But if money is always there, there will always be respect.
As much as people say that money gives one security and freedom, I will like to stress that having respect is not only a result of one being financially wealthy. In other words, accomplishment gives one the respect they deserve rather than the amount of money one has. That means a person can be a Millionaire and still not possess any element of respect, humility or even basic kindness.
Having empathy, kindness, and integrity is the key to gaining respect from the society. All of these qualities cannot be exchanged for money. Consider people you respect, does it mean you only respect them because of their richness or because of other qualities as well?
Money can be gained and lost in a flash and as quickly as it is made it disappears just as quickly, but respect is different it could be earned even in the worst of times. If a man loses his money but remains polite and honest he will not lose the regard of the people around him.
It is important to note that respect is not only in relation to other people but also in relation to self-respect. Yes, one can earn the respect of people by leading an honest and hardworking life, and being real to our selves despite their financial level.
-
I can say that money brings respect, not always true respect, but people do start to respect you more. I had that when I won a decent amount of money betting on Fairspin and then bought a car and had a lot of money to go out with friends and then I noticed that people start to treat you better and respect you. I can imagine what it's like to be a really really rich person

Money over respect, with the right amount of money you will gain lots of respect

Seriously you spoke well, but as for me I go for money what can we do today without money, things money can not do today is not rare, even if you want to give someone advice and first give the person money he'll respect your time and your advice
-
anyone with money will earn anyone's respect
be it because they want something from you, or they idolize you or they just genuinely respect you for things you have done with or without your money
people would argue that both respect and money are difficult to earn but having money would make a lot of things easier imo it would depend on your character what you can do with your money to earn the respect that everyone wants to earn so badly

-
Money over respect, with the right amount of money you will gain lots of respect
I want to look at a little respect, there are many people who have a lot of money but people don't respect them. Maybe his conduct was not good or his source of earning money was not in the right direction. But yes those who have earned money through hard work are respectable people today. Actually in today's context people understand money and don't want respect. Changes in eras and people personal living strategies are associated with various. People now consider money as a major tool in life due to which they indulge in bad deeds.

While you may be right and saying the truth, it's also important to know that respect could be earned and also lost, there's no respect that'll last forever, those who buy respect with their money may lose the respect when they eventually go broke or bankrupt, and even those who earned respect through their deeds or services rendered, there's also every possibility of losing that respect by just a single act, so either ways, respect can still be withdrawn after given. So it really doesn't make any difference how you earned the respect, whether through your deeds or through your wealth and power, what's more important is earning people's respect and maintaining it and avoid losing it, either by continuing in your good services which earned you the respect or by maintaining your financial status and avoid going broke.

Totally precise on what you have said on which it would really be that correlated something like this. We do know that when you do have the money then you would really be that highly respected because you are financially capable and also its true that respect could really be gained basing up on your behavior too because if you are someone whose really that doing something good
into other people then you would really be getting that respect naturally and its true that everything could really be ruined out by a single mistake and this is why it would really be
better that you should really be that making yourself be careful as much as you could if you wont really be tending to make those things to have those problems.

When you have not suffered or seen how insulted you can be when you have no money, you can stupidly choose respect over money. If you are also an individual who does not yet recognize the weight of responsibility, both to yourself and to other people around you, like family members who depend on you, then you would also choose respect over money. Money will always hold more importance to me than respect. There is a kind of money that you will have; it will command respect.

What you saying Mate, whoever chooses money has already chosen respect because money is respect and whoever has money has respect. Even if you've lost people's respect for you but still have the financial capacity,, then you've not really lost the respect of all. First you ask yourself what is respect, respect can be when people values your thoughts or when people have great value for you and we already know that when you have money or financially capable, people would automatically value you and your thoughts because they know fully well that at some point you have more to offer.
Again, while it's true that money isn't everything, we still can't overemphasize on the respect that comes with wealth or having financial freedom, because everyone already knows that attaining such a statue isn't an easy journey so it's only normal to respect and think highly of those who have attained such status, and that's how respect comes naturally to those who have attained certain financial status.

Whenever you are rich and has plenty money then respect would be instantly guaranteed especially when you live in third world countries where money is worshipped irrespective of how the money is gotten from, however in developed countries no one give damn about your money, though I would choose money over respect any day because I can decide to stay anonymous after having enough money thus I don't needed to get exposed in order to seek respect.

Hmmmm.. that is right I also think having a lot of money can get you respect especially in poor countries where having enough money is big deal. But I do not think respect should only be about having money. In richer countries people respect you for what you do how kind you are and who you are not just for your money.
I understand why someone would choose money over respect. Having money can give you freedom and privacy. But I think it is best to have both money and respect. If I had to choose I would pick respect. Respect comes from real friendships and being part of community which is more important than money.
-
I see plenty answers here saying that money brings respect, it's true to some extent but not always, some people could be wealthy but not necessarily respected.
Anyway, answer to the topic, I'd choose respect for myself, and enough sense to not butcher it.

Nowadays money is everything, with money people can buy honor to make people submit to them and when we have a lot of money there we will be known by people or local people with that we are respected with the wealth we have, sometimes honor is now difficult to get money but we first see what type of honor it is. if the honor is valuable maybe the honor can make us make money, but in my opinion that is very rare.
-
Money over respect. With money one can gain respect, but one can not easily gain money from respect.
I totally agree with what you said sir, by having a lot of money we can get that and respect is very rare to make money. this is an era where money can buy authority and money for everything.

Both money and respect are important, we need to have them together, this is because we may not enjoy doing without any of the two been made available for us, if we have money and also earn our respect, then we are going to know how important it is that we maintain the integrity of what we have earned, its rare for someone to have money and lack respect.

If you have money, you have everything; even love can be bought with money in these materialistic times.

This is what happens in the real world, even self-esteem can now be bought with money, money is everything, nothing can replace it,

what will be your choice if you are given money or respect people often say that Respect cant be we know this is true but on the other hand we can not ignore the importance of money because like oxygen money is first need of your life we can not pass a single day without money so what you think about it ?
This question is not relevant if you ask me, and this is because in our contemporary society today, money and respect go side by side and siblings, this is to tell you that where ever you find money, there you must find respect too.
Far gone are the days when poor people were respected, possibly due to their level of knowledge or wisdom, or the Kind of post they hold in the society.
Today, we live in a society where your level of wisdom will be measured by how rich or wealthy you are, same is knowledge, same is one's position in the society, all of this is measured by the rich or wealthy a person is.
This is to say that money has become another god on this earth, a person without money is like literally a dead person because no one will really respect or value you except your family members.

Why choose if you can have both? Both are important in our life and having them both makes the balance we need every single day. It is like food and water for us humans.
Same thought here, if I am to choose between the two, money and respect, I would say both are crucial and important but in very different ways. Money is essential because it meets our basic needs and provides stability, much like oxygen. Without it, it is hard to function day-to-day. However, respect is deeply important for personal fulfillment and building meaningful relationships. Ideally, we should strive to balance both, securing our financial needs while also cultivating respect and meaningful connections and relationships.
-
It could be said that having a lot of money and gaining respect from others is the most ideal thing and both things are not impossible to achieve.
Money provides comfort and convenience in life, while respect makes life happier. So why should we sacrifice one if we can have both?

Whenever you are rich and has plenty money then respect would be instantly guaranteed especially when you live in third world countries where money is worshipped irrespective of how the money is gotten from, however in developed countries no one give damn about your money, though I would choose money over respect any day because I can decide to stay anonymous after having enough money thus I don't needed to get exposed in order to seek respect.
In third world countries, money hits differently. Money is everything to them. He who has money would be respected, and he who has alot of money would be worshipped.
In the third world countries, money can buy you other virtues even if you don't possess them.
Money can win you court cases;
Money can win you elections;
Money can buy you titles
And even more.
Unless in the western countries were majority of the citizens are rich. Money don't seem to mean much to them.

Make make influence, money attracts regards for those who also deserve it, money make people to achieve their target goals and uses it to influence others life, but in other way can be use for evil, but it is not encouraged of us to go in this direction over the use of money, we have to understand what it takes to make money and how it feels when without having money, this may also increase our value and regard we have for it.

Money over respect. With money one can gain respect, but one can not easily gain money from respect.
This is not so true.
Money is part of every day life. How beit, respect should come from the heart of which money can't guarantee that.
Due to the respect people had for others without any material gain, has in one way or another given them favor....
Somehow and sometimes respect can offer that lifetime positive change sorted for. Respect for others can be a gateway to great success...

Maybe the right question would have been Money or Reputation. Money will always beat respect because if you have money, you will be respected by many. Money commands respect, when you have money you will be respected naturally or artificially.
That's true. Money is kinda always the boss in things like this. Every one who respects some other person has his reason and so if money can buy off that reason theoretically then the money is still the boss. Like some persons usually say , every one has a. Price and most times it's not because some people are loyal, how ever it's more like the money just didn't meet up to their standard or price.
Looking into the whole money respect discussion you will even find out that most times respect is earned as a result of power in one way or the other and literally speaking also, money too can be quantified as power and most times the highest power is often the respected one.

Money cant buy everything but we do know that in this life then money would really be the the most important thing that we should really have. Its true that once you do have that financial capability then you could really be able to do things that you do want and in speaking about respect then its true that you could be respected basing up into the condition that you do have.
There's why we do have that kind of inequality on which this is something that very common global problem that cant be solved out. There's always those people who would really be
sitting in the top due to that known aspect when it comes to financial capability and there's nothing we can do about it.

Hmmmm.. that is right I also think having a lot of money can get you respect especially in poor countries where having enough money is big deal. But I do not think respect should only be about having money. In richer countries people respect you for what you do how kind you are and who you are not just for your money.
I understand why someone would choose money over respect. Having money can give you freedom and privacy. But I think it is best to have both money and respect. If I had to choose I would pick respect. Respect comes from real friendships and being part of community which is more important than money.
Everyone believes in this concept that money is the root of all happiness. If you are not financially strong then many people will track your daily activities and make various bad comments against you. At the same time, if you are financially strong enough and have done some bad things, they are hidden in the weight of your money. So to get good respect in the society you must be strong enough financially.
Yes it is true that in developed countries money is not viewed as big because of the large number of rich people. But in poor countries, money is prioritized above everything else. This is still not applicable to a single country, it happens in almost all poor countries

For me I will pick money over and over again especially considering the fact in most cases money itself brings respect
It doesn't really matter all I know is respect is not going to feed the kids or pay the bill so I will pick money😅✌️

Yes money commands respect but not in all cases, because you can use your money to earn the respect of some people, particularly those who are richer than you, and even if you use the influence of your money to command the respect of those around you, even your family members. How about when the money goes away, because we have seen situations where people who had already attained financial freedom and along the line they lose their wealth, if such a thing happens to a man who’s respect was bought by his money, he’ll definitely lose, not just other’s respect for him, but also some of his family members, so placing your worth on money and wealth means that you may likely that respect.
-
I see plenty answers here saying that money brings respect, it's true to some extent but not always, some people could be wealthy but not necessarily respected.
Anyway, answer to the topic, I'd choose respect for myself, and enough sense to not butcher it.
Updated answe. Now, I am drifting towards money.
In society, you are surrounded by people, and you feel the need of respect psychologically, but with money it brings insane independence in one's life that one could simply buy a huge land somewhere far away from people, that you could care less about their respect.

I agree with you, in this day and age he who has no money has no respect, only money can bring a man the respect he deserves. In today's age a man's unemployment brings him only neglect and disgrace, but if he has money and if he gives money to everyone then everyone will respect him. No one will give you selfless love and respect in this era. You will get respect only when you have a lot of money otherwise you will only have to endure humiliation.

Like I already said, money attracts respect. I have witnessed a situation where two brothers (first son and second son) were in a family meeting, relatives were giving more respect to the rich son which happens to be a junior to the eldest son but the eldest was poor and he was just on the low. He couldn't say much because there's no money in the pocket and in this era, people look at your pocket size, that's where respect comes it.
There's a saying that money brings fake friends, so if that's true, money brings respect too.

In todays reality on which if you do have that lots of money then you would really be able to gain up that respect and this is something which is really that obvious or something that you could really be able to obtain on the time or moment that you will really be that trying out to compare into those people who do have money and poor people. Somehow there would really be instances on which money isnt everything on where respect from other people cant really be obtained no matter how rich you would be or having that tons of money.

- You know in the reality of life that when people know that you have money, they will respect you for sure. Even though you don't have money, if you deal well with your neighbor and they see that you get along well, they will respect you for sure.
That's why the majority is really in this age; when you have a lot of money, you not only get respect but also power that can cause you fear because you have a lot of money. And this is particularly true of politicians who are rich people.

Yes, sometimes money or financial status can actually make people overplay their roles in their families or the society at large. People tend to admire those whom they believe has the financial capacity to weather any kind of issue that arises, Thus the reason why they respect the rich over the poor. Again, respect isn’t always about age, age is only but a number, composure and mental capacity matters more when it comes to attracting respect. A person may have an advantage of age over you, but still behaves like a child, it’ll be very difficult for such a person to be respected you know.

Take away the respect and give me money, when you have money, you’ll be respected and that’s what I know and see happening. In some cases, some may value respect over money but it hardly happens though. It use to be a condition the person is that will determine if they will value respect over money or money over respect. You cannot be preaching respect to someone who is feeding from hand to mouth when he also knows he needs the money more than the respect he earns. People will have different choices though but I feel it depends on the situation of life you are in at that time.

Respect is good because it gives good name and good name is important in human life but good conduct of money can brings the two at once. If you have enough money and you are controlling yourself then respect would come on it own. Those who don't have money are not recognised in their communities but those who have are well known. In this present days, people are not respecting those who do not have money, that is no respect for the poor man. Therefore I encourage all to have money then you will get the kind of respect you need.

Honestly,i think it's a tough call between money or respect as both are important in it's own way.
Money in it's own domain,dominates power,and power earns respect,or more;buy's respect.In this 24th century where money is being put first in all things and centered in all things as a priority,not really everyone really considers respect when making crucial decisions involved with making money.Consider the common trend among the youths now;internet fraud,who says this young individuals cares about respect when they could even flaunt their source of wealth freely on social media without thinking twice of anything,c'mon man;they buy respect!Money is what makes you valued,respected and appreciated by others but respect on the other hand gives tou a sense of self worth and dignity.
For me,it's not neccesarily an either or a solution.I think you can have both mainly depending on your prirority.If i had to choose,i'd say respect. Because respect and self respect gives you a sense of fufillment that money can't buy.
Anyways,
"JUST GIVE ME MY MONEYYY":)!
-
You may not have money but gain respect, this is because you're of great substance and value to the people and they recognized that i've seen in so many scenario whereby those having money could not earn respect where they were because of their irrelevance to the people, what we contribute on others matters a lot and so it also count because the people are taking note of them all even when it seems they are not talking or saying anything about it.
-
Both money and respect are very important in our lives, we need money to fulfill our goals, desires and financial responsibilities, in other hand we need respect to validate our self-worth, and you will be valued and appreciated by the people. Money is just a material but respect is priceless, you can earn money in a lot of ways but you can only gain respect through integrity.
but I can't decide what to choose, until I found myself in such situation, No one will reject money if it was offered to them, but the manner of presentation matters, it depends on the manner that the money was presented to them, either in rude or polite manner, if the money was present to me rudely, then I would have no option but to reject it (chose respect over money), as accepting it will tarnish my image. and for me to receive money from someone who disrespects me I would rather maintain my dignity and respect, because a good name is better than riches.

A philosopher would say, that honor and self-respect are more important than money, happiness cannot be measured by money, and they would also say that the standard of happiness with money is a standard made by others...
A realist would say, that money is everything... all activities require money, and with money a person will feel honored and start to be appreciated.
Both are not wrong, and if only we can have both, life will be fine... there is no big challenge... but if only told to choose one, I think honor is more important here, even though we are not rich enough and are looked down upon, but honorable people will still be respected.
-
Money over respect. With money one can gain respect, but one can not easily gain money from respect.
Respect is a of money so I will rather get money instead of respect because once you have money respect follows, people respect your based on the amount of money that you have so this comparison about money and respect can't stand because society look and value you based on the amount of money that you command so no money no respect for you as a person
-
anyone with money will earn anyone's respect
be it because they want something from you, or they idolize you or they just genuinely respect you for things you have done with or without your money
people would argue that both respect and money are difficult to earn but having money would make a lot of things easier imo it would depend on your character what you can do with your money to earn the respect that everyone wants to earn so badly
Money can influence people where they will treat you like a VIP but it is not guaranteed that the respect of the people is genuine because respect is earned not bought respect truly comes from you character not by money
While you may be right and saying the truth, it's also important to know that respect could be earned and also lost, there's no respect that'll last forever, those who buy respect with their money may lose the respect when they eventually go broke or bankrupt, and even those who earned respect through their deeds or services rendered, there's also every possibility of losing that respect by just a single act, so either ways, respect can still be withdrawn after given. So it really doesn't make any difference how you earned the respect, whether through your deeds or through your wealth and power, what's more important is earning people's respect and maintaining it and avoid losing it, either by continuing in your good services which earned you the respect or by maintaining your financial status and avoid going broke.
Money over respect, if you are able to use money wisely respect will definitely follow, imagine with the high cost of living that we're facing now let's say in your community you're able to feed at least 75% out of 100% without looking down on anyone you will definitely earn their respect to the extent that some traditional rulers will no choice than to give traditional title which is one of the things that bring respect in both urban and rural communities
