The term “Money Cannot buy Happiness” is not realistic at all. It should be re-phrased to “Money Cannot buy Some Happiness”. As a kid, we might believe in the initial saying. However, as we grow older, we start to realize many things we were taught of were not after all true or even realistic.
As humans we grow to want more and want in life. This is an unavoidable urge, as we are surrounded with beautiful and luxuries which attract us to chase them. This fact of life is inevitable. I truly believe that money can truly buy most of the happiness in life.
Better Health With More Wealth
For example, we do hear of this story of the rich man in the hospital who could not buy his life after falling deeply ill. People would automatically assume that it shows that money cannot buy health. Why did not they think of if that were a poor guy, he might not even afford the hospital bills and would die a long time ago. In this scenario, you do realize that the rich guy got to buy a chance to live or even more time to live. With money, you get to pay your medical bills to buy a chance to live at the least as compared to the poor beggar who had no money to even go to the clinic.
Next, related to health issues too. These days healthy food is expensive as hell. Cheap food on the other hand is freaking unhealthy. By eating healthy, it becomes too costly. For the one with money, eating healthy is no problem at all, and with a healthy body, they are happier with one less worry. As for the poor, they are not only eating cheap and unhealthy food, but they are also stuck in the cycle and could not change this unhappiness.
Higher Quality Lifestyle in Every Stage of Life
No matter what, you cannot compare a life of a kid who is born rich and a kid who is born in a poor family. The happiness attained by a rich kid is a quality lifestyle since young till grown adult. With money, the kid in the rich family could worry less about working early because they do not have the finance problem in their head. With this luxury, if trained well by the parents, he or she could do their passion to chase their dreams without chasing time.
There is a lot of stress that could be avoided by the rich kid as compared to the poor one. The poor kid might need to work early and do a work which is not their passion. At the same time, due to the poor family finance status, they have no choice but to also share out their living expense with their old parents.
Instead of chasing their dream career and instead of using the money to travel the world, the poor young adult had to use that for their poor and old parents. Worst still, also due to their parents not having the retirement savings, the poor kid will be stuck in the poor people cycle forever if there is no drastic change and sacrifice made.
Less Arguments for Family Matters
With more money, a couple’s married life would also be much smoother. There is automatically one less worry and one less stress in their lives. Many poor couples argue due to money matters. With poor financial management and status, stress increases and spoils the mood. Thus, long term married couples with different financial goals who are poor will ruin their marriage.
Where else the rich couple, would not have this risk at all in their marriage due to the strong and stable financial foundation. Money matters could really bring a huge impact when building and maintaining a family. With stronger finance, purchasing all essentials ready for a young couple to start a family will also be easily done. As compared to a poor couple, they would be both struggling and could end up fighting if put in stressful situation.
Money as a Plus Point to Find a Mate
Some people say money cannot buy Love. This is somewhat true as you cannot force someone to fall in love with you. However, you also hear of old men who are married to young girl models. There are people who exists like that who do not mind men older than them for the sake of living the luxury life. This scenario had proven that a rich old man is more attractive than a poor old man for some ladies. It is an obvious fact that the rich old men stand a much higher chance to find a wife compared to the poor old man.
I had stated a lot of points that represents “Money can Buy Most Happiness”. Now I would also share some thoughts on why the statement is “Most” but not “ALL”. There are certain things in life which money could not buy.
Money Cannot Buy Attitude
Those are character. Money could not buy attitude and character of a human. With the correct attitude we can make more money or vice versa. Every human being is unique in their own ways, and no one is the same person. Thus, money certainly cannot buy our character. We shape who we are in the future and the power is in our own hands. With lots of money, we could actually lose it all with the wrong attitude.
Money Cannot Buy Some True Feelings
Money could also not buy certain relationships or feelings. You can be a rich man son but with bad attitude, not all women will be attracted to you. You cannot force someone to love you for you with all the money you have. Not all women or men love a person for their wealth.
Equally, we have people who are not money-minded and could not buy their feelings with all the money you have. We do hear of stories of a rich guy who got rejected by a girl he had a crush on. This is an example of how money cannot buy that happiness, specifically “some happiness”.
With all the opinions in the world, it is an obvious fact that, the rich get richer if they have brains to sustain and grow their wealth. They could also end up being the poorest at the later generation if not handled wisely. Money is no matter what the power of most happiness in this world, it also solves most problem. Just imagine, the reasons of rising crimes. It is because poor people sometimes do not have choice. It is wrong to steal and rob someone, but because they really need money.
The world is made this way. The gap of the rich and poor is so huge. The poor gets poorer, the rich get richer. The meal of the rich could be equivalent to few years work of a poor income worker. This is how crazy rich a person can be as compared to the poor class people.
At the end of this article, don’t you agree with me that “Money can Buy Most of the Happiness” in the world? This is a more realistic expectations in life. We cannot change this culture as our booming world is all about having more money to enjoy travels, good food and luxuries from all over world.
