Money can buy you most things in life. Houses, cars, diamonds, pretty much anything. The wealthy are often envied in society. This is mostly because the culture we live in often values material over emotional richness.
But happiness knows no credit cards, no ATM machines, no wage slips.
I have been lucky enough to experience certain things in my life that without money are difficult, and I have had a great time doing them.
Holidaying in the Maldives for example, was truly spectacular. Going to different music festivals, amazing. Et cetera, et cetera...
But these, along with many others weren't solely down to where I was or what I was doing. They are made by the people I experienced them with.It's no surprise that the happiest are not always the wealthiest. Money gives you a certain comfort in life. But more important than earning money, is earning the love and respect of those close to you. If you succeed at this no amount of financial hardship can break you.
When you find a person, or people who make you happy at your core, hold on to them, treat them well and respect them, because when you find yourself without them you soon realise just how important they were.
