You only have to open a newspaper to see pictures of happy looking people, sitting behind the steering wheel of their new car; or to stroll down the tube platform to see beaming individuals, delighted because they're new home-owners. But these adverts don't reflect reality.
Material possessions and money are not the true source of happiness. On the contrary ... Read on and learn how to appreciate all those small pleasures that money just can't buy.
"Money doesn't buy happiness," so the wise saying goes. Of course, it's difficult to be happy if you're living on the breadline; you do need some money to ensure a minimum level of comfort and so you can live calmly without having to worry about tomorrow. But once your basic needs have been met, it seems that there is no correlation between how happy you are and the size of your bank balance or the number of cars or plasma screens you own.

nice post my friend
Interesting thoughts! I believe it’s not possible to make a general statement on whether money makes people more or less happy. Money comes with a whole set of new elements that may have good or bad impact on our happiness, and depending on how susceptible we are to every one of them, the conclusion will go one way or the other (i.e. different from person to person). Thanks for sharing. :)
There's some really cool research that indicates that one can, in fact, "buy happiness," but only if the buying done is purchasing things for other people.
Regardless. Getting tied up in the wealth itself or the accumulation of things is a deep dark trap that doesn't generally lead to feelings of awesome.
But so many peoples' worries and concerns are financially related, and they assume that if they fix the finances, everything else will just magically fall into place.
The pursuit of happiness requires just as much attention as any other pursuit, and folks don't necessarily realize that much like everything else in life, simply sitting back and waiting for happiness to come to you isn't going to be any more fruitful than sitting around waiting to win the lotto. One needs to devote time, money, and energy to doing the things they enjoy and spending time with the people they care about.
good and very interesting post, success
