Answer:
Money can’t buy love or happiness and here’s why I believe why:
Step-by-step explanation:
To start this off, I’d like to say that I’m not living in poverty, so I can’t discuss in a viewpoint where money would increase my way of life but I have struggled before. As has half or more of America at some point. It’s not surprising in this economy, inflation steadily increasing after every passing day, the loss of valuable resources, and decrease in product transmission because corporations and businesses don’t pay their workers well enough to afford a livable lifestyle.
In the long run, life is all about how we played the game. Not how it started or went but rather how we leave this world. Depending on your cup of tea, most people would be comforted by the fact they lived their lives to the fullest or made sure that they had people with them towards the end. There’s not much other options in which people pass on feeling satisfied. I’ve never met a single person who told me that if they died today, they would be happy if they had all their favorite objects, (of non-sentimental importance), with them in the grave.
It’s no way to live, working only for the satisfaction of having money. That doesn’t mean you can’t have money, or use it, or enjoy earning it. It’s just sad if that is the only reason you live your life. Now, it’s more understandable if there are reasons behind it, like you want to be able to afford a comfortable lifestyle for you or family, or you need the money for something like medical reasons, but having excess money just to have it is unjust personally.
Materialistic objects can’t follow you into the afterlife (If you believe that), anymore than your pocket change can. Now, sure if you had money you could afford things that make you happy, but it’s not the money itself bringing you joy is it? It’s the things you buy that allow you some form of enjoyment. Not everything in life needs money to be enjoyed either. There are hundreds of millionaires who live in luxury, but on the inside, are in shambles because they can’t use that money to buy trust, or happiness, or love. Then there are people who are struggling, poor, impoverished, who live every day with a smile on their face even with all the struggle and hardships they face because they appreciate life for what it is naturally.
Also, money can actually bring the opposite of love and happiness. People are greedy, and selfish. There are many criminals who would rob you the first chance they got if it meant they could live better themselves. The same could be said even for members of your own family. Not all families of course, but you really never know until you are put into that situation. Money may be able to solve problems but it’s not always the correct answer, and it does more bad than good most of the time, especially in the wrong hands.
Money is a necessity in this world, of course, but that doesn't mean it has to be the purpose guiding us all. That would mean greed was driving us as human beings and when has a selfish person ever died feeling content, unless they had gotten what they want and even then. Research has been done on this topic, and yes, it was true money increased happiness for a little while. However; asfer a certain point, that money became so excess that people saw no use for it. It was merely an object they didn’t need anymore, Wasting away when others could so desperately use it. This is why I believe money cannot buy love or happiness.
