Benjamin Franklin once said that money has never made people happy. Money cannot buy happiness, and the more money you have, the more you will want.
You will only understand the importance of money when you grow old. Money gives you security and being poor is not the ideal scenario. When people grow up in poor homes, they tend to get rich.
Let’s be clear: there is nothing wrong with having money, but having money as a priority over everything else brings you a lot of problems.
If you want to be happy, stop thinking about money.
You are looking for the answer in the wrong place.
Do you know what happens to Hollywood stars?
Most of them become addicted to drugs, alcohol, depression, and so on.
Robin Williams is one of those who has committed suicide and has had problems with depression, despite being rich and successful. So money has failed to bring them happiness.
Money cannot buy happiness. But, apart from happiness, money cannot buy these things either:
Love
Money does not bring you love. You may be seduced by a rich person, but you will not feel in love. Money is the method of exchange and that is all. You use the money to pay for things. Money makes you feel empty and you will never feel in love.
The truth
Money will make you an influential person, but the truth is the greatest influence that exists. You can use the money for a certain agenda, but the money only gains in the short term. You can never buy the truth.
Time
Time flies and there is nothing that restores it. You may think it’s morbid and depressing, but it’s true. Life begins to be spent the moment you are born.
Can you prolong life? There is no practical way to do this. The youth fountain does not exist and money will not rejuvenate you.
Peace
Taking care of your thoughts brings you peace. Turn the bad things in life into positive experiences.
Governments spend millions of dollars in the name of “peace.” Is the world a peaceful place to live in the moment? Not so. People die every day because of the power of any person.
Talent
Having millions of euros in your account will not make you sing well. Money cannot buy talent or skills.
Health
Money can provide you with medicine, but it will never replace your health when you lose it. Exercise, preventative measures and natural care cost nothing.
True friends
If you are rich, you will only attract people who want to be your friends, but that does not mean that they are real friends. You cannot buy happiness, love and friends. So simple.
True friends don’t even pay attention to your account.
Knowledge
Money makes you feel invincible and you end up making bad decisions. You may think you know things well, but do you know how to apply that knowledge?
