Money can buy happiness

If you were given a chance to win 1 BCH from the juungle's sticker contest, what would you feel? What are the initial thoughts that come into your mind when you imagine holding that large amount of money?

Since we were a child, we often hear the phrase, "money can't buy us happiness.". This has been implanted in our minds and somehow it became our guide to be good and better individuals to others. But as time goes by, I am starting to question this old tenet. Can't money buy us happiness?

The world is facing a global pandemic right now. Along with this, the global economy is also crashing down that resulted in the loss of profits of businesses and millions of people losing their respective jobs. In this situation, we can't even imagine how life will be if we don't have enough money. Without money, the things we can do are limited; we can't buy our needs, the things we want. This controls our freedom, and it is natural for humans to seek freedom. If we feel controlled, we tend to feel unhappy.

Let's say you are craving for a pizza. You went to a pizza shop and upon entering you noticed that you don't have enough money. You're planning to go back to your house but you remembered that there's nothing left to your budget because the remaining money is allocated for paying your bills. You feel frustrated and just endured your hungry stomach.

You can see from the example above that your choice is controlled by your financial capability. You can't buy the food you want because you're broke. This is where I start to doubt the old phrase, "money can't buy us happiness". How come money can't buy happiness if this is the only key to buy all the things that make us happy. Did you get my point? Sorry if you're confused πŸ˜†. Money is the most valuable thing in this world and without it, you can't buy the things that will make you happy. Lets us not be a hypocrite. You're dreaming of having a large amount of cash. We all want to be rich. You're dumb if you will still insist that you can live without money.

Let's go back to my question, if you were given a chance to win 1 BCH from the juungle's sticker contest, what would you feel? What are the initial thoughts that come into your mind when you imagine holding that large amount of money? Of course, you will be delighted. You may even write a post or article telling how happy and lucky you are. This also where you start to think about what to do with the prize you won.

If you are not convinced that money can't buy happiness, let's take another example. Most of us are here on this platform to write and wait for Rusty to visit us. We are happy when we've gained tips from the bot and we are down when we received nothing.

It is indeed that money can buy us happiness. Let us throw that old-fashioned statement that money is not associated to happiness. Instead, we must learn to be satisfied because even were rich, if we are not contented, we will not appreciate life and be happy with it.

Look at those wealthy people who are not contented with their wealth. Do they look happy in life? Of course not. They keep on looking for more even they have enough. This is also applicable to those people who keep on buying things they didn't need.

I hope you understand what I am pointing out (^_^パ). It is also kind of short than usual haha. If your reading this, I am thankful that you exerted your time reading the whole article.

I would actually start investing more with that money XD But who says money can't buy happiness when it can buy our most basic needs. The saying is rather outdated now, tbh

Yes, money is the thing that we really need to survive in the world. Let us don't be hypocrite on that matters, as for my own perspective money really helps me and that's one reason why I am happy because for some reason when I have money, I can help someone, I can save for my future and I can feel satisfied for my own hard work. The phrase "money can't buy happiness is only applicable for someone who has it but doesn't feel satisfied with what they have. Or in a big reason, they are in a situation that money cannot measure their happiness. Anyways I love writing but the first that comes to my mind when heard read.cash is to earn money because that's what I needed the most.

Just wanna share this one, isn't amazing that doing what you love helps you to earn money and that is what I can call happiness. Satisfaction. And money can satisfy you when you used it in a way that can make you happy :)πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’—πŸ’—

I somehow agree that money can buy happiness. It's just temporary tho. Just like what I read on some comments in here. Anyway, the main point in here is that if money can buy happiness, and yes it does. So yeah, I second the motion. lol

I think money can buy happiness ,but its only temporary , because that kind of happiness can pass like one or two weeks or so.. The real and genuine happiness for me is that seeing my family complete , happy and have a quality time together , That kind of happiness is a long term ☺️

Each http://Bitcoin is basically a computer file which is stored in a 'digital wallet' app on a smartphone or computer. People can send Bitcoins (or part of one) to your digital wallet, and you can send Bitcoins to other people. ... You can sell things and let people pay you with Bitcoins.

I think money can't buy happiness if your happiness is the life of people who were on your back. Money can only buy material things but you could not buy life of people with your money.

I agree with you. But, money can buy us happiness temporarily. That happiness will soon fade if you aim for something big. Happiness, is like what you've said, a matter of being satisfied and contented with what you have. Great article, @kli4d! πŸ’š
