Since the start of
this
 world, everyone is in the pursuit of happiness. People have been trying to find a sense of
acheivement
the action of accomplishing something
achievement
 and
fulfillment
a feeling of satisfaction at having achieved your desires
fulfilment
 through various means. Some consider that economic wealth is the key to remain happy whereas others disagree. I believe that, while
money
 is one of the reasons to keep a
person
 happy, it is not the only factor that gives
this
 feeling.
Firstly
, having adequate financial resources is important to live a comfortable
life
, there are many other factors that affect a

. It is thought that many psychological experts that having a happy and stable social
life

a person's happiness
 than any other materialistic factors.
For instance

 people was drug abuse. It is a known fact that the primary reason of using drugs for any

that's
 required to be happy, would these people use drugs?
Finally
, the importance of
money
 in being happy cannot be ignored. One of the basic factors for being happy is living a comfortable

 is important to live a comfortable
life
 and pay bills which are the basic requirements of any
person
,
however
, the role that other factors play are
also
 important. It can be said that all these factors go hand in hand and all these
