Can money buy happiness?

Can money buy happiness?

We all know of winning one million dollars, but would it make us happy?

Its true that buying a nice new sports car, new clothes or an

expensive new house would make you feel happy, but only for a

short time. Soon you have to go and buy something else so you can

get that happy feeling again. Before long, you are working &

spending and working & spending, but you aren’t getting any

happier. Lord Layard, from the London school of economics,

suggests that itisn’t money which brings happiness, but other things.

He argues that people need to have friends and be involved in the

local community to be happy. People also need to feel happy with

them selves. They need to feel respected by others & feel they have

achieved something in their work and life. Money cannot buy you

friends, respect & achievement. This means that if people want

happier lives, they will need to change the way they spend their

money. If the first thing you do when you win one million dollars is to

move to a big house in a new area, you might find yourself very

lonely & unhappy. Think carefully a bout how you spend your

money if you want to be happy. Give money to charity so you don’t

feel selfish, start project which will be good for the community or

save it so you don’t have to worry about the future. The message is

that the less time we spend shopping, the more time we can give to

family & friends, exercise sleep, travel & other activities which give

us a feeling at strength, health & happiness.
