Some people believe that money is the most important factor for achieving happiness. However, others believe that happiness has nothing to do with money. Do you agree or disagree? Give your own opinion and examples.

#people #money #factor #happiness
Nowadays,
money
 became an integral part of everyone's life. Some
people
 think that
money
 is everything and they can be happy if they are rich.
However
, others believe that there is no relationship between
happiness
 and
money
. I completely agree with the latter statement and my essay will discuss my viewpoint in a pragmatic approach.
To begin
 with,
happiness
 cannot buy if somebody is rich,
this
 comes when someone spends their time with their family or with their loved once. Because high-class
people
 have a lot of
money
, but they don't have their close person to share that feeling and they not only end up being alone but
also
 forget their relatives while running to earn more.
For example
, there is one very famous movie named "Fashion", where the heroin Karina Kapoor gets famous and become rich but end up being alone and started taking drugs.
Moreover
, there are various things which cannot be bought by any person like satisfaction and gratitude,
this
 always comes from within. Along with that, poor
people
 are more kind-hearted compare to the rich person and
happiness
 is not about taking every time, it's about giving respect or
happiness
 to others
also
.
Furthermore
, there is no certainty of saving someone's life if a human belongs to high-class society. While they can try to provide the best medical treatment. To exemplify, there is research conducted at Macquarie University, which states that 60% of the rich community are not enjoying their life as compared to the middle-class individual.
As a result
, there is no link between being rich and being happy. To conclude, family and friends are the source of
happiness
 ,not
money
.
However
,
people
 can take benefit from the
money
 but cannot relate to their pleasure moments.
