Can money really buy happiness?

Money has been the important part in our society for a long time. Nobody can say that “I do not want money”. Many rich people do everything in order to make it
because they think that it can lead everything to them. However, they forget the
important thing. Nothing has only one side. The money not only brings about advantages but it also brings about many problems to the people who want it.
Therefore, money cannot buy the real happiness because it results in many problems.
The more money we get, the more problems we gain. There are three main problems
that make the rich people feel unhappy. These problems deal with their minds, friends,and education.

Firstly, money brings about stress more than happiness. Most people are always concerned about their money. Many rich people are never satisfied it. They do not know “How much is it that they want?”. When they know their target and they achieve it they still want more. For example, some rich people do not have only one job. They have the full time job in the weekday and part time job in the weekend. They working until they do not have time to relax. Every time is money. Moreover, they feel suspicious of everyone. They worry that the other people will take advantage of them. Those people make themselves crazy and feel unsafe. For instance, many rich people feel suspicious of everybody after they withdraw money from the bank. They feel unsafe until they send their money to the safe place. Therefore, everyone wanting to have a lot of money is a good thing but they have to take care about their health, too.

Secondly, some rich people think that money can buy friends. They actually buy
some kind of friend, but they cannot buy real friends. Good friends do not want money. They want the good relationship from their friend. For example, some rich people think that they will not do anything in group work. They want to pay money instead. Some kinds of friends accept this condition but real friends do not accept this condition and teach their rich friend a lesson. Besides, although you are a very good person, some kinds of friends like you for your money. For example, real friends dare to comment and correct friends directly when they do some mistake. They do not care that friend will be angry or not. However, some kind of friends do not care that friends do right or wrong things because they are afraid rich friend will hate them and they will lose the advantage. Then, everybody wants to have the real friend. They have to focus on giving love, good hope, and understand to their friends. Thus, friendship is more important than money.

Thirdly, people can use money pay tuition fee, but they cannot buy knowledge. They have to study it by themselves. Knowledge must gain with hard work and
responsibility. For example, if the rich people pay tuition fee, but they are always absent for class and dishonest in exams, maybe they pass class but they do not gain the knowledge. When they will face big problem when they working their job. Furthermore, some children from the rich family do not focus on education because they think they already have everything. In contrast, knowledge and degree will attach everyone until they die but money can be exhausted every time if they lack knowledge. Therefore, although they have a lot of money, they should intend to study as much as they can in order to make their parents proud and bring honor for themselves.

Opponents claim that rich people live in family together. However, these people
are forgetting something important. It is the relationship in the family. In fact,some rich people just stay in the same house, but they do not have time to meet each other. For example, some rich families in Thailand, the children go to school in the morning with their driver before their parents wake up, and parents come back home after their children go to bed in the evening. Moreover, some rich families are not concerned about the importance of relationship in family. They do not meet each other not only during in the week but also in the some weekends. Instead of going out with their family, they choose to go out with their friends. For instance, father goes to golf club, mother goes to mall, and children go to game center. Therefore, money cannot buy their family relationship. It can be bought with love, time and understanding.

In conclusion, happiness cannot be bought with money but the money brings about many problems instead. Some rich people have problems in their minds, relationships and education their whole life. Look at these problems. Rich people cannot be happy if they have to make a lot of money in order to respond to their desire, beware of everyone, be unaccepted by the other people, and lack knowledge. How can we speak that money can buy happiness? Giving love, good hope, understanding, and time to other people can bring happiness. Therefore, if they want to have the real happiness and still be rich people, they should balance between money and happiness in order to develop themselves, the other people, and society.
