Whoever Said ‘Money Can’t Buy Happiness’

We have heard it many times, but whoever says it is either very poor, or very wealthy. Poor says it because they aren’t able to get more money. Most of their trouble is due to money. Don’t you think money wouldn’t be able to bring happiness in their lives? Most certainly, it would.

On the other hand, the super rich doesn’t have to worry about things. They have enough to give $1,000 charity every month, buy a new car as soon as it is launched, and still left with lots. If they have to take a bus to workplace every day, get irritating creditors calls, and pay credit card bills with penalties, when all they are left with is $200 to meet all the monthly expenses, they would know what real problems are. They simply tell you this because they want to be one of the ‘middle class’ population, and not feel guilty about being super-rich.

Of course it’s true when you say money cannot buy everything. But you are certainly happier if you have enough money. You can spend more time with your loved ones because you don’t have to spend extra hours at work trying to earn more. Money allows you to have some beautiful memories. You don’t really care if you your car is depreciating in value, not does it matter if you have flat tires. You don’t care if you have to spend some unexpected expenses, and it feels really great.

Spending more time with your family, friends, and loved ones is one the things that you really crave for. Having money can do that for you. You can travel world with your family, have some salsa lessons with your loved ones, and have a tea off with your friends at a posh golf course. These things are definitely not cheap, but they are fun, and you can have them only if you have money.

So, if you say money can’t buy happiness, I would certainly not agree. And I know you wouldn’t agree as well. So, let us not blame money for our inefficiency to have happiness, and work towards earning more instead.
