Greetings!
Going by the popular scriptural verse that says, “money answereth all things.” I would say, the influence of money over everything in life cannot be overemphasized. One thing about money is that it makes life comfortable for people to live in. Though, not all things require money, but money is everything.
Having said this, I would like to discuss the topic before us today, which has to do with the influence of money on our hygiene. But before i proceed on the topic, i would want us to know that money is an essential commodity that everybody must possess to live a meaningful life. Though, not all are rich, but even without that, everyone needs money to survive.

Aside from this, staying healthy has a lot to do with being hygienic. No one has ever and can never stay healthy without maintaining good hygiene as dirtiness has nothing to do with sound health.
However, to maintain good hygiene requires serious effort and resources. For one to maintain good hygiene, one must be determined to live a clean life and also to live in a clean environment.
But for one to live a clean life and also in a clean environment, one of the things needed is money and like i said earlier, money is key to everything in life and part of what money can do is to help us live a hygienic life.
One of those things money would do to make sure we live a hygienic life is help us in our bodily upkeep. What do I mean by this? It's money that would help one to maintain and take care of one's body by putting on good and clean clothing, barbing and plaiting one's hair, applying good deodorants and the likes to the body and so on.
Furthermore, it's money that would help and enable one to eat good and nourishing food that's prepared in a clean environment or kitchen. Also, it's the influence of money that would help one in eating fruits and other things needed for healthy growth.
Aside from this, the influence of money on living a healthy and hygienic life can also be traced to living in a good and conducive environment which is devoid of stinking gutters or drainages, a refuse dumping site, a no toilet residential area where one's kitchen is very close to where people used to pass their excreta and so on.
So, when there's money, it would be so easy to live a proper healthy and hygienic life which would be free from all kinds of diseases and infirmities which can be contracted through the unhygienic environment. In fact, in my own view, there's no way one can live a hygienic life without money.
Although we have some people who are naturally clean and hygienic, even at that, their lack of money has led them to living in a dirty environment and they only resigned to their own fate due to their lack of money.
One of my friends, Seyi, is a typical example of a naturally clean and hygienic guy. Seyi would always look clean when looking outside, but his environment, which is a dirty one, negates his look and personality outside.
The first time I paid him a visit at his residence, was like a kind of hell for me as everywhere was dirty with green drainages with faeces or excreta all around the vicinity. The environment was such a toxic environment that I don't think I can survive in the environment for a day.
But one thing i like about him was that his room was very clean and neat, but notwithstanding, the lack of money prevented him from living his natural hygienic life.
In conclusion, the influence of money on living a hygienic life cannot be overemphasized, though there's some born with a natural hygienic life, but this is not enough to live a hygienic life as money controls hygiene.
