Does money buy happiness?


We have often heard the phrase that says that money doesn´t buy happiness but in some way is not true. Let’s take for example a family. If you want to survive you need money, because you need to buy your basic needs such as food, drinks and a place to live. You even need money to make your life happier, who isn´t happy when he or she gets something new? I know this has to do with capitalism but it still makes you feel good.

Even though I say this, you don´t need a lot of money, because the more you have the more you want and is a vicious cycle in which you are so absorbed in wanting money that you don´t even pay attention to your family. So everyone needs a balance in those aspects of their life. You need a job in which you gain more than enough money and something that you like to do.

To end, I want to say that we shouldn´t say that money can´t buy happiness because is not true, you need money, nothing is free. And the amount of money we need depends on the lifestyle of everyone.
