Can money buy happiness?

[Starmix]

Money is one of the most important things in our lives, next to food to eat, a home to live in, and ways to get from here to there but with all of those things, you need money. So that’s where the “money can buy happiness”, this phrase comes in because people think that since money can buy everything else then it can easily buy happiness also. I believe that money cannot buy happiness, and actually, I believe that in some ways money can negatively consume your life which would not make you very happy. What I mean by this is, say someone is desperate for money, and then he will do anything to get their hands on it. That could mean robbing someone of it, which would consume your life by getting you thrown in jail.

Another thing could be that if someone is not desperate for money but the complete opposite, that he has so much he doesn’t know what to do with it, then he could become greedy. This would make his life all about money, therefore consuming it in his obsession to want more and more.

In my personal experience with money, we’ve had the amount of an average family, meaning that we weren’t filthy rich but weren’t poor either. The amount that we’ve had was enough to make us happy because we didn’t struggle with anything like food and other necessities; I say it’s better than nothing. Speaking of nothing, looking at others who don’t have much money makes me appreciate my life more even if I am not wealthy. Being average isn’t that bad. Money might be able to make you happy but that’s not the point, the point is that it can’t buy happiness. Being happy is an emotion, it is something you feel, not something you buy, and that is why happiness is priceless!

Money can't buy happiness; it can only be a'source' of happiness. Many wealthy individuals are unhappy with their lives, possibly because of severe health conditions, family disownment, and other issues. Therefore, I do not believe that money can buy happiness; it is merely a source of happiness. While it can help you eat three or more times a day, travel to different places, etc., these things can only provide temporary happiness, especially if you feel empty inside.

We can be happy in a simple way yet money plays a significant role in our lives because the absence of it, makes life miserable. Money makes me happy though.

Money plays an important role to live a comfortable life. We can buy most of the things from money. We cannot buy emotions with it but still we can live a better life when we have enough money.

We can buy things that make us happy but emotions not. Happiness depends on the material things that affect our emotion causing us to be happy and all derive from money.

That's true, it's because money is a facilitator of happiness. When there's no noney, life is lonely.

When your mind is not worried over any financially issues, you would always find happiness easily.

Let us just condition ourselves that there are things only money can buy and these things once we acquire make us happy.

Money can't buy happiness, but we can't live happily without money, especially if you have a family because money can meet the family's needs. especially for children's education costs and family health and insurance costs.
