Money alone will not bring happiness
The below quote is one of the best things I have read today. I thought I would write an article on this topic. We all would have said people saying that money alone will not bring happiness. But before we say all that we have to make sure we have enough money or we should be experienced with the feel of having enough money.
“Money cannot buy you happiness but it is better to cry inside a car rather than on a bike.”
I don't know who came up with this quote but this is true. I have been in situations in my life where money was very important for me. I had critical situations in my life where I did not have enough money in hand. When I see people sharing some stories where someone died in the hospital because they did not have 50$ in their hand, it will be very painful to hear. 50$ may not be a big thing for me right now but once it was a big thing and I have been in such a situation. Especially in situations where I had to lend money from friends or others.
Today I'm very glad that god has kept me in a position where I'm able to make use of my money wisely as I know the value of the money. Yes, money alone will not bring happiness. Even though I earn enough money to survive today and have enough skill set to survive even if my money flow stops from tomorrow, happiness is completely a different thing. We cannot relate money with happiness. Many people do that and think that money is not going to bring happiness anyway and why spend our energy on earning a lot of money?
I would say that there are many things that money can buy and those small things can also bring happiness. I wouldn't say they are permanent happiness but at least a temporary happiness money can bring us. Money will bring us happiness but money alone is not sufficient. That's the point here. If we have enough money and if we are wise enough to take our life in the right direction, then we should be good enough to lead a decent life. Not just earning money but we have to also be socially responsible to uplift someone else's life.
In my personal life, I have been in a situation where we were financially struggling. Today we are in a better position even though I have enough debts to clear. But I would confidently say that with the current situation, I'm happy. So having financial stability or financial security gives some level of happiness. We should also know what would be our limit. We should not be overconfident that the situation we are in right now will be the situation forever. But today's happiness is going to be there.
Habit of saving the money we earn
The financial stability is always about the right investment we make. If we are at a very young age, we can probably take some risks but if we are almost in the middle age, then maybe we should be careful with our investments. But whatever the case, savings are important. Today we might be happy with the money we earn but the happiness should last forever and that can happen only if we have enough savings with us.
Money alone directly doesn't bring happiness. With the money we have earned, if we know how to plan our finances and how we should be buying things that can bring happiness to us, then that is the indirect way of getting happiness with money. We should not be just carried away by the money alone. We should also be focusing on our hard work and skills. We have to keep improving our skills.

We spend our lives to earn money. The real happiness is hidden in where we spend that money. Thank you for this beautiful article.
Yes very well said. Spending always brings happiness. We need more money so that we can spend more. 🙂
Sahe kaha apne bade bhai, money alone can't buy happiness. It does makes things easier for us. 🙂🙏
Maybe one less thing to worry about for us. 🙂

for me money doesnt mean much if there isnt some sort of action or work behind it, getting just "passive" income just because ....feels empty, I know its many ppl dream but most of us need to stay active, money just raining down at first its fine but latter down the line creates a void, its funny how my plans change after learning about Hive I was all about Bitcoin, Eth and other projects and was looking at price but since I join Hive and start buying its very rare that I look at prices, Hive keeps me busy, active and getting some sort of reward that is the product of work, thats just how I see things ✌️
I would say the passive income streams are just an avenue to be financially free. But after we are financially free, we can be our own boss and do whatever we want. That's the major thing about passive income.
I agree with you on being an active person. But they both are two different things.
IDK about been our own boss, I have done it many ways in the past and you always end up getting orders from someone, I prefer to say I own my time and labor, I did remote IT for six years and I was doing well but because of the type of work I spend too much time alone at home when wife was working and kids at school that I started to became lazy and even a bit depress some times since then I decided to stay in a 8-5, I guess there are different circunstances, rn Im working at a car shop but the owner is a friend, some times we have our differences and then everything goes back to normal, Im lucky to have this kind of 8-5 😅
Yeah not everyone is comfortable getting orders from others. Sometimes people switch jobs just for that very reason. I'm lucky to be around people who don't want to boss me around and they give me the space I want. That's one good thing.
Yeah, me too, sometimes when I have a bad day at the shop I have though about quitting but then I consider all the other benefits I have that I would dream about in any other job and then Im cool wit it 😅
Very well said Bala. I too agree that money is far more important.
I've recently discovered a triangle of balanced life. The 3 vertices are financial health, physical health and mental health. Better the equilibrium between these, easier it is. If these grow hand in hand, then its growth in true sense.
This is great. I like the three Vertices. Very well said. Having a balance on these is important.
The truth still remains that money does not bring happiness. Yes it does not and that is why we must not go after money at the expense of our happiness
I wouldn't agree. My point is that money alone will not bring happiness. But that doesn't mean that money itself doesn't bring happiness.
Money at times bring happiness just that money alone can't and will not bring happiness because it is not actually supposed to. There should be additional factor in it that makes money to bring happiness
But spending money definitely gives a good amount of happiness.
