DOES MONEY MAKE YOU HAPPY?

A great part of population tend to believe that happiness should be


measured by material possessions which provide them a high social status
that make feel easy. Thus their objective is amass a great fortune. And,
why not can they deserve this reward after having worked hard? Why do
people questionne them? As I see it, the key is: "Does money make
people happy?"
I am inclined to agree that money plays a vital role in the
materialistic world where we live in. Beyond that, it allows for life is little
luxuries, such as the occasionally holidays.
But frankly, I would like to stress that society is divided in two types
of individuals, those who have amassed their fortune effortlessly. Not
only have these people got accustomed to living in the lap of luxury but
they are also habituated to living life on the fast track and, therefore, tend
to waste money as if money were no subject. They need to learn about
money management in order to use wealth wisely and not go bankrupt in
no time. These people never find happiness. No sooner do they make a
little money than they want more. They never have enough. In case they
are faced with adversity it’s difficult for them to find a good stimulus to
overcome it.
In opposition to these, there are those who have made a great
effort to make their fortune and therefore are very cautious when it
comes to spending it, being considered by many as greedy. In reality, they
are not happier than the previous ones because they are always worried
about not to waste money all the time, being a little unhappy.
On balance, I believe that our world has evolved into a place where
we value possessions more than people. Materialism is the root of this
problem. When people focus on getting whatever they want, they begin to
forget what is really important.
All in all, it seems to me that nobody have the right to judge the
others. Everybody is free to live their live whatever they want as long as
they respect the others
