wealth does not necessarily guaranty happiness. To what extent do you agree with this statement.

Happiness comes from different sources. Some

individuals

concur that having a sheer abundance of wealth does not ensure eternal bliss. I totally agree with the above statement. Having tons of

money

,

however

, can make someone feel elated in some ways.

For instance

, people have the capacity to buy luxurious things like cars, houses, and branded clothes. These could bring them joy and excitement.

Nonetheless

,

this

does not guarantee long-lasting happiness.

Moreover

,

individuals

can be happy depending on what they value in life

such

as family, kindness, peace and camaraderie.

Individuals

who barely make ends meet can still be happy because of the love and kindness of the people that

sorrounds

Correct your spelling

surrounds

them.

This

source of blissfulness is something that

money

cannot buy,

hence

, it must be treasured.

Furthermore

, not all affluent

individuals

are blissful.

This

is primarily because

money

is not everything. To exemplify, a wealthy businessman, who makes

money

hand over fist but living alone, can still feel emptiness despite having all the grandiose possessions in life.

This

is because he does not have any family to dine with him during meals and no one to share with how his day was.

Thus

, making him feel poorer than the poorest.

In addition

,

money

can be the root of family or sibling rivalry that divides them rather than unites them. An example of

this

is when a member of the family become successful, jealousy arises. It is,

therefore

, creates a wall between siblings and families. In conclusion,

although

being financially well-off can provide a temporary joy, I am of the belief that genuine happiness comes beyond any tremendous amount of

money

like having a complete family

that is

healthy and friends who treat you like family.
