Team A Summary:

Having money would give you more opportunities to succeed
The more money you have, the more opportunities to help people and to support people’s goals
A member pointed out that Bill Gates is an example of wealth helping and reaching out more to people
Without money, you can’t study abroad nor travel to make business be successful
It makes it very hard to get a good education without money
Money is an important factor to get things in this life. Everything requires money

Team B Summary:

Money cannot buy everything and success does not necessarily mean money. Success could mean a different thing depending on the person
Even though money can give you opportunity, you can still be successful in helping others with very little money
Many people that have a lot of money are not happy, and happiness to them means other things, family, charitable causes, life balance, wellness, education etc.
Many other things can make a person successful, communication skills, relationships, hard work ethics etc.
Sometimes people will learn the hardest way, about what truly defines success and happiness both
