there are more important things in

. These are two things that
money
cannot buys, no matter how rich we are, we can feel financially stable and happy for while but in a long run, it cannot compensate the feeling of social inclusion, love of family and friends.
For instance
, you can buy all the materialistic things in

Secondly
, the family bond is very important. A person without his family and friends can be the most lonely and depressed human being.
For example
, a person working around the clock to provide for his family not realizing that he is missing out so many things in his
life
like seeing his kids grow up, missing out on their major moments in

money
is important to live a sustainable

life
.
This
can only be achieved by having a good relationship with their peers.
