#people #money #time #wealth #choice
Different
people
 have different goals. While to some
money
 gives joy to the rest, spending quality
time
 with their family and self-improvement does.
This
 decision is not necessarily to be based on reasons but should depend on the individual's thought process. I see the difference of opinion as a healthy argument. In the following essay, I will write on when and why
people
 make varied choices in picking their lifestyle. Folks are highly influenced by society and their social lives have an impact on their lifestyle. In reality, some
people
 earn
money
 by working day and night and buy expensive items. These pretentious
people
 do not live for themselves,
instead
 live for the
people
 they are surrounded by. Businessmen especially, toil themselves to be wealthy and their thirst to quench
money
 doest not fade even during moments of crisis.
For example
, recent news in Australia stated a young restaurant manager keeping his kitchen open to the public even during extreme weather conditions of the Paho cyclone. Expensive cars, luxury items, overpriced vehicles are things that give them happiness. And, they seem to be joyous in spending the hard-earned
money
 to live life like a king. These folks worry less about their future and concentrate on the present.
In contrast
 to the aforementioned facts, there is a group of
people
 who value their
time
 and relationship more than
money
. These
people
 love to spend
time
 with their families and always find a reason to stay connected with their surroundings. They believe it is wise to learn new things, explore opportunities and expand their knowledge in their free
time
.
This
 leads them to be multi-talented and they learn new skills, from archery to culinary. When the world runs behind
money
 round the clock,
this
 crowd focuses on self-healing and self-improvement activities. They are more worried about their future and always work on planning it. To conclude, we live in a country where everyone is given the freedom and independence to live their lives according to their taste.
However
, I am biased and more aligned towards
people
 who are not materialistic in nature. I think they are the ones who would be able to overcome any difficulties, as they are taught on living life to the fullest.
