Some people say that it is not possible to be happy without money, while others think money does not guarantee happiness.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion

Money is a crucial index to measure the wealth and success of a person. Few people opine that money can bring happiness. However, some people believe that money cannot insure happiness. Both the postulates will be discussed in the subsequent paragraphs before reaching to a plausible conclusion with my own perspective.

Commencing with the multifarious reasons how money can bring cheerfulness in a human being’s life. First and foremost, food, shelter and clothes are basic necessities of a mankind. Without the fulfilment of these, one cannot cherish any moment in their life. Thus, money plays a vital role to acquire mental calmness. Moreover, money can help people to educate their children and ameliorate living standards of people. Therefore, it contributes in bringing prosperity in the life of not only one human being but the whole family.

On the flip side of the coin, few people think that money cannot guarantee happiness. Primarily, humans never be satisfied and always want to achieve new heights. Consequently, they get busy to get greener pastures and not able to spend time with their loved ones. Apart from this, children inheriting abundant wealth from their parents become materialistic and does not value family bondings. As a result, multitudes with enough money are not living a harmonious life.

To conclude, money plays an extraordinary role in leading a peaceful life. Although, in my opinion, money is a subset of getting contentment but one can dwell a peaceful life by spending time with their family.
