Can money buy happiness?

The question you’ve been asked multiple times in your life, “Can money buy happiness?” It seems like a silly question, but in reality, it’s a question that can be very hard to answer.

To me, I believe that money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you things that make you happy. Same goes for making money as well. Making money can make you happy but it can’t give you a sense of happiness that you would experience with family and friends.

Money is something that is earned in my opinion, happiness isn’t. But you can buy things that can give you happiness for a bit of time. For example, going shopping and buying a new pair of shoes or pair of jeans can lead to happiness in the moment, but is it really going to make you happy for the rest of your life?

Obviously there are people that may say yes money can buy you happiness, but I think that it can give you things that make you happy, not give you happiness.

The reason that it can help make you happy is because it can give you a sense of financial stability. If you are constantly bringing in a good income, you aren’t really worrying about not being able to afford things compared to someone who’s income that isn’t great.

Another reason it can help make you happy Is because it can lead you to new experiences, such as being able to go on vacation somewhere new. But it’s the things you do on that vacation that can bring you happiness, the money didn’t buy you that feeling.

I believe that happiness is something that comes from laughter, family, friends, sports, and doing things that you love. Something that no amount of money can ever truly make you feel. In my eyes being happy and enjoying life is worth more than money because these are moments in life we never get back.
