5.    Read the article and describe what you understand of it in as much detail as possible.

FAMILY UNIT
With money you can buy everithing that you  want like material things, but there are others things  you can not buy. For example, you can not buy the family unit, because that only comes from spending time with your family and giving them adequate love and attention.
GENUINE SECURITY
The security is more than to have a lot of money now and put away for tomorrow, because money can be stolen and it can not prevent death. The GENUINE SECURITY is to know God and his purpose to have a good and happy life with your family.

PERSONAL CONTENTMENT
Money and the things it can buy is not all in the life because  Even when a person has an abundance his life does not result from the things he possesses. The greatest satisfaction in life comes from answering important questions such as these:
                Why are we here?     What does the future hold?     How can I fill my spiritual needs?
We have to fill our spiritual needs, to help people and to be happy.  The money is necessary, but  not the most important in our life.
