Some
people
believe that personal Use synonyms
happiness
and financial success are closely tied because wealth provides convenience, while others believe that Use synonyms
happiness
relies on other things Use synonyms
such
as social relationships. I personally believe that Linking Words
happiness
is more affected by social relations than economic growth.
Use synonyms
First
, the reason for Linking Words
people
insisting that wealth decides personal Use synonyms
happiness
is that Use synonyms
money
makes our Use synonyms
life
more comfortable. To be specific, by accumulating wealth, Use synonyms
people
do not need to experience economic hardships for living or limit their Use synonyms
life
on their budget. By achieving financial success, Use synonyms
people
can be liberated from the inconvenience caused by poverty. As individuals improve their quality of Use synonyms
life
, they will be able to find Use synonyms
happiness
and contentment. Indeed, in a study from 2010, Princeton University researchers found that Use synonyms
people
’s Use synonyms
happiness
increases with their salary, but only up to $75,000 a year. As the income went higher, it allow Use synonyms
people
to satisfy basic needs, leading to concrete improvements in their daily experiences. The funny fact is that, for incomes below $75,000, larger incomes were associated with greater experienced well-being, but beyond $75,000, there was no Use synonyms
further
improvement. ////A possible implication is that, beyond $75,000, Linking Words
money
is just a way of “keeping score” in Use synonyms
life
, and there might be little reason to care about Use synonyms
further
increases in income as far as one’s day-to-day experience are concerned. ////For Linking Words
this
reason, I disagree that more Linking Words
money
leads to greater Use synonyms
happiness
because Use synonyms
money
has limits at some point.

On the other hand
, some Linking Words
people
believe that stable social relationships largely affect personal Use synonyms
happiness
in Use synonyms
life
. In fact, the No.1 contributor to Use synonyms
happiness
is the quality of a person’s social circle and it’s human nature for Use synonyms
people
to pursue a sense of belonging. Through well-connectedUse synonyms
/
established social groups Use synonyms
such
as harmonious family, lovers, or friends, individuals can find emotional bondings to feel assured and lean on. Linking Words
Being

can find full of compassion, patience, and altruism toward others. Use synonyms
For example
, sociologists at the University of California at Berkeley studied the link between social Linking Words
connections
and Use synonyms
happiness
. The upshot of 50 years of Use synonyms
happiness
research showed that the quantity and quality of a person’s social Use synonyms
connections
are so closely related to well-being and personal Use synonyms
happiness
that the two can practically be equated. Use synonyms
As a result
, Linking Words
people
with stable friendships were less likely to experience sadness, loneliness, low self-esteem, and problems with eating and sleeping. In my opinion, I agree that being in healthy social relations outweighs financial achievements for personal Use synonyms
happiness
because to enjoy material affluence needs a prior condition which is psychological stability based on social Use synonyms
connections
.
In conclusion, while some individuals think that having Use synonyms
money
brings convenience, which makes Use synonyms
people
happier, others think that Use synonyms
happiness
depends on other factors like social Use synonyms
connections
. In my opinion, social interactions have a greater impact on Use synonyms
happiness
than economic development because personal Use synonyms
happiness
is more influenced by psychological stability based on social Use synonyms
connections
than one’s financial status.Use synonyms

Word Count
IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.
A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.
Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
