I remembered I took monetary economics two years ago, and one of the final test question is, "discuss this quote-Money is a good servant but a bad master." I was surprised with the question though correlated with monetary study. After that I looked up in the web and it was a quote from Francis Bacon, Sr who was an English lawyer and philosopher in the 17th century.
Well, lets discuss the quote then...
How can a servant be considered a good servant? The answer is simple, if they can fulfill his master's wishes, needs, or orders immediately. Money can do this task. If you're hungry, your money can buy you a set of meal at that time. If you're thirsty, your money can buy you a drink right away. If you need information, your money can buy you a newspaper.
Well, then how money be a bad master?
