 view.
Money
 can only buy material comforts. While these are

money
 in the world. If
money
 could buy happiness, the rich must be the happiest in the world. The reality,

Just because you are poor it does not mean that you cannot be in a meaningful relationship. In fact, if you have a nice character and a kind personality, you will have no dearth of friends.
By contrast
, a rich person with an arrogant personality and a bossy attitude may be lonely in
life
 because no one wants to be with them. To conclude, while it is true that
money
 can buy many things, truly important things in
life
 like love and relationships are actually free and cannot be bought.
