Some experts suppose that when a country is already rich, any additional increase in economic wealth does not make its citizens happier. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Citizens of developed countries have innumerable avenues to enjoy their

life

. While some people believe additional resources will add value to their already happy

life

, I think

otherwise

. Each additional dollar in a resident of a rich nation does not guarantee the chances of purchasing products that bring joy and pleasure to him.

To begin

with, after attaining a stable level of an economy, many residents may not feel delighted by seeing their country's advancement.

This

is because when a person satisfies his or her basic needs, the

next

level is to attain self-actualisation. For

this

, they have to find something to make them content,

for instance

, doing charity works, helping the needy or contributing to the well-being of the disadvantaged.

Therefore

, they could find the purpose of their

life

and joy in their actions. Another reason here is the lack of personal relationships.

In other words

, when a nation assists its people, they rarely require support from their family and slowly and gradually blood relationships can be blemished.

However

,

for example

, during their younger age, they could chase all the luxuries and achievements but, it has been noticed that these people often end up in a depressive mood in their later years.

Thus

, by viewing all these, it is clear that the economic progress of a nation may not bring happiness to its residents. To conclude, extra padding of money to spend on things other than necessities of

life

will not increase a person’s satisfaction.

Such

an increase in happiness can be achieved through the fulfilment of jobs as well as family reunions.
