Money Can’t Buy Happiness

I don’t buy it

For me who has been dirt poor for half of her life, I don't believe that money can’t buy happiness. I was miserable, hungry, and helpless when I didn't have money. I’m happy, healthy, and comfortable now that I have money. So for me, money can buy happiness.

Money can give us happiness because it enables us to buy our basic necessities to sustain our life, be healthy and be productive citizens.

Money can give us happiness because we can share it with others. We can donate to charities, help our needy friends, or create employment instead of becoming a burden to our government.

Aside from happiness, money can give us peace of mind and sound sleep because we wouldn’t have to worry about where to get funds to pay the bills. We are assured that we wouldn’t be homeless in the next months.

There are times that money can’t do anything no matter how much you have like it can’t save someone who is terminally ill. But at least, with money, you can seek medication, get the best doctors, and at least you can prolong your life a bit. Believe me, if you don’t have money, you’ll just die without a fighting chance.

If money can't buy happiness, do you think poverty will?

Money at least would make you super comfortable at times when the world is not in your favor. :)
