I have to say that sometimes I agree with your loud friends about money equaling happiness. However, money just buys things. It doesn't get you the stuff that matters in life, in my opinion.  Money can't buy love. That's something you have to make and experience all on your own. Money can't buy respect. That's also something you have to earn on your own through actions, not money. Money can't buy relationships. I mean true relationships. Not the kind that are abusive and/or arranged. Money can't buy friendships. I suppose you could have someone hang out with you and act like a friend if you had money, but that wouldn't be a true friendship. Money can't buy wisdom. You can argue that a college education could mean wisdom, but that's not the kind I'm talking about. Money can't buy time. That's something we all get the same amount of and money won't change it.Now there's a lot of material things that can be purchased that make us happy, but not the true happiness that you get from everything you can't buy. I know a lot of people who are material and most of them will admit it. A couple of them have come to realize that materialism only goes so far. I'm one of those people who wish I had the money to buy nice clothes and go on an awesome vacation to another country, but alas, I'm awful with money and can't save any to save my soul. I think I'm probably happier without the money.  |
