Assalam-o-Alaikum!

✅Food and water: Without money, we cannot access the basic needs of life that is good and because many people even countries in the world are facing food shortages because they are poor and do not have enough money to buy food and water and here money plays a role to fulfill this basic need.
✅Shelter: The second most important need for all human beings is shelter. A home that is purchased or built with the help of money provides shelter and brings prosperity to life. A home is a basic building to provide strength to dreams and it comes through money.
✅Medical Facilities: Money also provides facilities to acquire medical treatment and medicine, without financial resources we are unable to fight against medical hazards.
✅Educational Opportunities:Money also provides us an opportunity to get the education to improve life. Education is key to all fundamental activities in the world, therefore, money provides us with the opportunity to get more and more education.
✅ Financial Freedom:Money provides us an opportunity to have financial freedom which means that not relying on others for finance allows us to make our own decisions without control by circumstances and it provides flexibility in life choices.
✅ Growth Opportunities: Money also provides us with opportunities to grow our careers, start businesses, travel explore the world, and follow our passion and hobbies grow our interests talent, and life happiness.

Above are some benefits provided by money to all human beings collectively.

Now if we talk about the importance of a peaceful life then Peace of Mind is not only an essential part of every successful life but it is also a part of a satisfactory and caring life for us;

✅Happiness and Mental Stability: It provides us happiness and mental stability which is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle; allows us to handle stress and enable us to make clear decisions to stay emotionally balanced and happy.
✅Builts Stronger Relations: Peace also builds relationships but are individual because it said that money can buy gifts but not love you can buy a house but not a home therefore peace helps to increase relation bonds leading to a pleasant life.
✅Enhancement in Productivity: Peace enhances product success which is also a goal for your business people these two smart decisions provide opportunities to work with higher efficiency focusing on energy and productivity.
✅Spiritual Growth: Peace allows us to see our reflection which means spiritual growth and it creates mindfulness leading to higher purposes of spirituality with Allah Almighty.

I would choose a meaningful life because of the following reasons:

✅Meaningful Life vs. Long Life: A meaningful life is important because the quality of life always matters more than the quantity of life. Suppose that a human lives on this planet; just imagine that living for years without purpose, happiness on any achievement not only makes life meaningless but also assumes life as a burden on that particular individual.
✅Definite Purpose: Meaningful life has a definite purpose that a long life has not. Therefore, a short life filled with purpose, love, and contributions is more valuable than a long life without them. Many people live long but without purpose. They only live their life regretfully, alone, and stressed.
✅Avoidance of Evil: A meaningful life keeps away from evil, especially in Islamic teachings that Allah has given a definite purpose of life to all human beings on this planet because a purposeless or meaningless long life can lead towards evil and can also guide to what makes the people outlaw.
✅Pursuit of Passion and Positivity: A meaningful life allows us to follow our passion and also urges us to do positive tasks.
✅Focus on Purpose, Not Duration: So ignore the duration of our life rather than we should focus on the purpose of life. History remembers only those who have passed meaningful lives.
✅National Heroes of Pakistan: National heroes of Pakistan like Major Aziz Bhatti, Rashid Minhas, and Havaldar Lalak Jan did not pass long lives but a life with a definite purpose and they will always remain alive and remembered in history.
✅Legacy of Scientists: Moreover, many past scientists have also lived meaningful lives like Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla, and Julius Robert Oppenheimer.

I would like first to choose education over a job, a house, and a car. There are certain reasons behind this step:

✅Personal Growth and Critical Thinking: Education provides personal growth and critical thinking skills which enhance our problem-solving techniques and decision-making power. Education is not only essential to get a good source of earnings but also, gives us a path to manage life in the future and let life feel its real worth.
✅Long-Term Benefits of Education: Education brings long-term benefits, unlike a job or car. A house is a financial burden without any stable job and similarly, the car is also a burden on income. Therefore, without education getting a high-paying job, a car or a house becomes difficult so I will choose education 1st.
✅Career Opportunities: Education also provides qualifications and more career choices whereas a job only enables a person to stay on one platform. My choice for getting an education first is because without education people are often stuck in low-paid jobs with limited career and financial growth.
✅Financial Independence: Education also leads to financial independence. No doubt, up to a certain level it requires a lot of money but after getting an education a person can get a job according to his taste or any long-time business with the help of his educational skills.

✅Balance Between Present Happiness and Future Security: This one is tricky to answer because present happiness and future security are a fundamental thing that affects the personal and financial career of any man who chooses one of them. Present happiness shows joy and well-being at the moment while on the other hand, future security provides us a long-term stability and peace of mind. Here in the case of the present happening, one must avoid the psychological term of present bias.
✅Understanding Present Bias: Present Bias is psychological that explains the immediate prioritization of short-term pleasure. So, in the above case of the selection of happiness or future security, one must avoid from present bias term. If someone is scrolling reels or passing his time playing meaningless video games, then he falls into this psychological condition; present bias.
✅True Meaning of Present Happiness: Present happiness never means a short-term pleasure. One must focus on present happiness because it is said that a person spends most of his life thinking about his past or planning his future but he does not spend his time on his present day. For the game of mind, present pleasure carries importance.
✅Importance of Future Security: Future security provides long-term pleasure but present happiness should not be ignored. Imagine that a man is ignoring his present happiness and just pushes his efforts to the future for the next 20 years and suppose that after 20 years he dies. All of his efforts to spend time securing the future will vanish 😢. Therefore, one must focus on present happiness along with future security.

I will choose both and will take both on hand. Both play an important role and with both simultaneously, like remains unfill.
