#people #life #money
It is often said that being wealthy is the most important thing to make one's life merry. Money will definitely make a person happy, but there might me other important things for being happy. Money makes everyone happy for the following reasons.
Firstly
, having a lot of money gives you the access to all the basic and advanced amenities which
otherwise
 we would have to strive through for.
For example
, I can have a hygienic swimming pool in my backyard all for myself if I were rich and not go to the pool in the community sharing with others and be uneasy with the thought that someone might have peed in there.
Secondly
, it makes people reaching their goals easily and quickly. Let suppose I wanted to become a pilot. But pilot training costs at least $7000 in SF Bay Area. If have enough of money, I could just take the training and become pilots.
Otherwise
, I would have to look out for a school or organization that offer scholarships or take an education loan
thus
 making it a longer and harder. Happiness is a state of mind with less or no worries. Having said that, there are two main things that lead to less worries and
thus
 happier.
Firstly
, healthy mind. It makes you be positive and makes you decisive.
For instance
, a clear mind would let me take the right measures to make my coffee shop hassle-free and effective.
Secondly
, loved ones. No one's life is perfect. Everyone has their high and lows. But having a loved one to share your sadness or happiness and having a shoulder to cry on makes you less worried. To conclude, even though, money brings a lot of fun, convenience and entertainment which in turn make anyone happy, the real happiness lies in being healthy and with loved ones.
