In
this
contemporary world, it is argued that
people
should have a huge amount of
money
in order to be happy. Thanks to cash, they can just purchase anything they want;
however
, other factors
such
as
job
satisfaction or having a family are vital. In
this
essay, I will try to draw some conclusions. The main reason why
people
with cash are happy is that they can buy whatever they want. They can fly to the resort they have dreamed of or visit their favourite countries. They could purchase absolutely everything (a car, a house, furniture, or renovate their apartment. And,
as a result
,
people
feel happy. Take my brother as an example. When he worked and did not get enough
money
, he seemed unhappy.
However
, now, he has found his dream
job
( highly paid) and is always smiling. He can pay for me in a restaurant or give me a ride in a car.
In other words
,
money
contributes to
people
's well-being.
Nevertheless
, other factors in life are
also
important. Since
people
spend the majority of their time at work, they need to get
job
satisfaction as it contributes to the level of happiness of
people
. Specifically, my mother works as a teacher, and complete immersion in work and gratification increase dopamine levels.
Moreover
, another option is socialization. It is important for society to have friends and family because without them the public will feel lonely, depressed and
this
can even lead to suicide.
Overall
, other factors except for
money
are essential. In conclusion,
while
it is confirmed that thanks to
money
humanity become blissful, I would
also
argue that other options
such
as having friends and
job
satisfaction are necessary.
