Who says you can't be intelligent without money? Intelligence is a mental aspect and has nothing to do with money; agreed, money can get you a better education, but that does not equate with intelligence at all. Even if you have a basic education of the ability to read, you can become intelligent by merely reading a lot and gathering knowledge. The books require money, but these can be borrowed from places like free libraries or mobile libraries. I have known people with very high educational qualifications but when it comes to making an intelligent decision at the workplace, they are not up to the mark.

Look at the not highly educated Mumbai police constables who risked their lives - one at CST station grabbed his colleague's rifle and started shooting at the terrorist; another was the major factor in the police being able to capture a terrorist alive when he held on to the terrorist's gun and did not let go even when shot - THAT is bravery based on quick-thinking intelligence.

If you are intelligent you can make money with that. But money is not needed to be intelligent. Even uneducated are intelligent in many ways. Money is really important but still only intelligent and smart working are always recognized much and earn money much. But if you only have money, you may lose it soon of lack of intelligence. I feel money is not necessary for intelligence.

Very few percentage of people are born intellegent, there are many factors who contribute towards the intelligency of an indvidual. Abilty to think intelligent or to have intelligent mind depends mostly on our sorrounding atmospehere. But If a person want to have a intelligent mind he/she can always have it through education, hardwork, learning and constructive will power, so basically intelligency depends upon an individual efforts.
Intellegent mind, Quick thinking, instant decision making power, spontaneous reactions etc. all these things a person can achieve through education, hardwork, learning and will power. These all are the basic things which are responsible for the intelligent mind so no doubt at all that money can improve all these things much more better for sure by keeping the time mannagement into account.
As we are in a competative world where it is the timing that matters very much, so with the help of money we can mannage the time well.
Abhinav Bindra can perform better than a normal man because with the help of money Bindra can set a shooting station at his home which a normal person cannot, because he dont has enough money to set up a shooting station at his home. May be normal man can shoot more accurate than Bindra but with more hard work and by practicising for long time Bindra will definately be ahead because Bindra can mannage his time well due to money matters.
So for two different persons having same skills of hardwork, spending same practicising time the one who is having more money can superceed the other easily because through money that person can acquire more knowledge, more informations, more latest technologies and above all he can mannage his time very well than other person, so similar is the case for intelligency. When two person do same level of hardwork, has same level of education the one who is having more money can mannage his time well to give more constructive output than other.
Although exceptions are always there but money is related to Intellegence and it influences.

To be mentioned, Dr. MGR, Mr. Karunanidhi, Dr Annadurai, Kamarajar etc who are the chief ministers of Tamil Nadu are all uneducated. But their governing skills are uncomparable. The administration and order provided by them could never be compared even to nowaday MBAs. Even intelligence doesnt require a formal education. This bookish knowledge will never improve our intelligence. Intelligence is born within. To improve it we need to face and solve situations in a matured way. These words were proven by those four chief ministers. Each one is intelligent in their own way and is not related to formal education.

Secondly, if I say there is no need for formal education, there comes no need for spending such a lot of money. Remember, the famous scientist Thomas Alva Edison was a dropout. Even in recent history take Bill Gates who was also a dropout. Hence these people didnt spend so much money for improving their intelligence.Always experience is a good master than anybody.

Well Dude, if you think getting education from university is the only way to earn intelligence then you are totally completely wrong. And you even more wrong that if you have money you'll get education and become intellingent. In fact it's the reverse if you have intelligence then you'll easily accumulate wealth. That's a lot of great nation always try to gather intelligent people in their country from around the globe so that they could contribute in four corner development. And you can even look around and you'll find that there are, were and will be a lot of people who are called genius though they never finished their college education. You'll find these category of people ranging from singers, businessmen, great leaders, scientist, inventor, etc... Take for example Thomas Alva Edison, the man who holds the greatest number of patents for his inventions and the Microsoft Tycoon Bill Gates.
So we may earn a lot of money but to acquire intelligence it needs more than money.
To some extent its true that you need money to become educated but education alone doesn't insures intelligence, it needs passion and willingness to learn to be intelligent. Otherwise people get education just to hold a job and that's all.

I think,intelligence is slightly more important than money.
It's so because if you have intelligence,you can very well earn a lot of money.You can make use of your brains and find out smart ways of having more income.
On the other hand,money can't fetch you brains.If you have money,it won't last for ever.Even if you get into some job using money,there also,you will have to prove your intelligence to stay safe.
Thus,intelligence can bring money to you,but money can't bring intelligence to you!

    According to me money and intelligence both are corelated to each other because if you have a money then you also required intelligence for the management of your money.
    But this is also the fact that money is very important in our life let it understand by the example
    Suppose u have to go another country for some important work and you have not enough money for that then it will take more time for select the manageble way to go and this time your intelligence will not be work but if you have money then you dont care about the managable way you just go with airoplane.
    That is why the money is important but in the another way money is nothing without the intelligence.

    HEllo Friends, today's topic is so powerful, Money vs intelligence,according to me,intelligence is more important than money because a person can't be successful with only money, if he is not intelligent."INTELLIGENCE CAN BRING MONEY TO YOU BUT MONEY CAN'T BRING INTELLIGENCE TO YOU"it won't last for ever.Even if u get into some job using money,there also,u will have to prove your intelligence to stay safe.
    THANKS.

    I am agree with all matters that's towards mind or intelligence.because all actions are possible due to mind not 💰.to have money is also right only for some extent.and if we talk about money then it will be get automatically.when you have a lot of intelligence.so we can say undoubtedly that intelligence is not only better but also best for everyone.
