Money Makes You Happy

The inventor and statesman Benjamin Franklin said, “Money never made a man happy yet nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness.”Money can and in most cases does buy you everything your heart wishes. With money you would be able to live a comfortable life with everything you wanted around. You can have flat screen TV’s to expensive jewelry, the sky is the limit when you’re spoiling with the benefits of your hard work. But does that necessarily make you happy? Would having everything be as great as it seems?

There is nothing like the feeling of shopping with no limit. When you can have everything you want and are fortunate enough to buy anything you want, it can be a dream come true for most people. Then again we as humans are programmed to want things that we simply can’t have. Things that can be bought most of the time the very same things we couldn’t afford at one point or the other. That does bring about a slight bit of happiness around. But does that really make people happy? To a certain level it does. It gives us a rush of having something new in our lives. Something we could stare at and be fascinated with for a few moments before the next better thing comes along and distracts us again.
The desire to have what we consider the better things would convince us that one will be “happier” than we were ever before. That then becomes a habit, which will make one want more than needed. While yea money can does in fact make one happy, it’s only temporary. Try and look back at one time you might have bought something and regret buying it a few days later. Money gives you things that give you some level of happiness. It’s nothing like the things in our everyday lives that make us really happy. Things like family, friends or just the feeling of being alive.
