1.  Money is the most important thing in your life.
   1.  Money isn't the most important thing in your life.

For those who have chosen the first statement the result of decision is:

Money is the most important thing in your life and your motto is:" Money makes the world go round". It's your right to think so but I hope you won't forget of such things as love and friendship which are very important too.

Those who have different opinion the result is:

Money isn't the most important thing in your life.Your idea’s that money helps us to live but it's not life itself.
