In recent times, economic growth has helped many become richer, both in developed and developing countries. However, those in developed countries are not as happy as they were in the past. Why is this? What can be learned from this?

It has been suggested by some that
people
have been getting richer as the flourish of the economy not only in some developed countries but
also
in several developing nations, while residents living in the developed nations are getting unhappy than they were.
This
is an appalling result of the change of lifestyle. The lesson should be gained from
this
trend which is
money
is unable to satisfy all demands.
First
of all, most individuals, particularly young generations, would feel they have been spending less leisure time with their family and friends,
thus
resulting in a lack of intimacy. The reason is that after working, they
also
need to stay back to do extra work in order to earn more
money
sometimes.
Besides
, when they have spare time, they are so exhausted that they just stay alone
instead
of interacting with others.
As a result
, they do not have enough friends or family members to share their feelings, which contributes

and unhappy to them.
For example
, most office-workers who are working and living in New York say that
although
more
money
they are able to earn nowadays through overloads work, they feel more anxious and upset than they were. The detailed understanding of
this
dreadful situation is that
money
is not powerful. Everyone should enjoy their life by communicating with each other to satisfy their emotional and mental needs while working hard to follow the rapid developing speed,
otherwise
, individuals will be depressed. As an illustration, some successful

empty. In conclusion,
although
people
may vary in their opinions about the reason why
people
are getting unhappy despite the fact that they have more
money
. I think that the different lifestyle is the main reason, and
people
should adjust their opinions about earning
money
and enjoying life to suit
