Money vs Happiness

Money can/ cannot buy happiness.


     It is fairly safe to assert that money is an integral part of our life and
hardly anyone can survive without it. However, it is not always true
that a lump sum of money brings much joy to its owner. Although,
some people believe that being rich is a pure definition of happiness.
     Personally, I am inclined to believe that a person has more important
values in their lives than money. Firstly, being healthy is already
enough to be happy. One can be filthy rich, but he is bound to feel
miserable if he is incurably sick. Secondly, a loyal family and
supportive friends are another important aspect of our life. Under no
circumstances is it possible to buy love and respect a family can offer
to its members.
     Nevertheless, people who are prone to believe that money does bring
plenty of satisfaction name some exceptional opportunities wealthy
people have. Expensive houses and cars, the possibility to travel to
any distination in the world, quality education and health service are
among the most desirable things that can be obtained in exchange for
money.
    Even though they may be partly right, it is important not to forget that
money is helpless when it comes to people’s relationships. Nobody
can be called a happy person if there is noone who sincerely love and
support them.
    In conclusion, I maintain that money plays crucial role in making a
person feel secure and content. But few people would deny that only
good health and sincere relationship enable us to be totally satisfied 
with our lives.
