Facts of life

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived.”

Can money buy happiness?

Money Money Money...everyone been talking about money ^^

Does money matter$ in life? Of course it does...but how much does it really matter?

Come to think of it, we can use it to make most of our troubles disappear. Sounds good!!! But money cannot literally buy happiness. It may help to cope with troubles that prevent us from being happy. In my belief, money can bring relief if the lack of it is causing stress. If a person is generally neurotic, unhappy and pessimistic, no amount of money will help in his/her life.

My earning is not as much as I expected which caused me stress. I do think of plans to get more moneys but eventually everything doesn't turn out the way I wanted. Obstacle is everywhere and I don't think I have determination to overcome them.

A windfall can also bring problems to people who don't know how to deal with money. To those who have lived from hand to mouth all their lives, unless they are intelligent about it, there is a tendency to fritter a windfall away. One has to know how to use money wisely, in order to make it work for them.

Agree?

Am I happier with money than I was without money, YES! I grew up poor. Which I remember those days with only RM10 for my whole family to spend on foods per day. Car which always out of petrol, stuck in the middle of the road. A bowl of mee for a family of four. Those were the days...


Life is getting way more better now but I still want more...as I still have student loan to pay off. There's few goals for me to fulfill and I will be a happy man if I able to get them done. ^^

Money:
Total Happiness? NO.
Most of the Happiness? YES, it can.

We need more than money for total happiness.
"Goal Fulfillment" is what we need to get total happiness.

    Don't be the money slave. You got to be the master of money. Frustrated over money matter is common as money is never enough for human beings. To overcome this, try looking back at the time when whole of your family can survive even with RM10 only, why aren't you satisfied with thousands of your salary now? Work your way out to better future young man. Your future is bright if you stop thinking negatively.

    Yes, you're right. The post is just my perception on moneys. Is not that I'm giving up or something, I just need to focus on gaining the life that I want for my family. Thinking negatively is my key to keep me moving forwards.
