Money itself does not bring happiness

Children need to be very forgiving to adults. Because adults are much stupider than they are: they throw away their most precious gift – time and enjoy shiny wrapping papers.

What am I doing with my life? Sometimes I think that  I am sacrificing my days, weeks, whole months – for money. I will buy exotic holidays and beautiful clothes for them. And free time, which if I worked less, I would have just for free. And now I will pay money for having free time. Yes, in the middle of next month, we are going on vacation again that was planned a long time ago. In order to have a good holiday, we have to work a lot.  Even if we work what pleases our hearts, but we still work much.

Sometimes I think, I could work less, but I have commitments, promises, and irrevocable plans. Anyway, I am happy that will go on vacation again. Money itself is not fun but if to spend them on what you love, it brings true pleasure.

  1. Money brings comfort. Comfort is not happiness, but it’s easier to be happy when you have nothing to worry about. It’s a tool we use to exchange goods and services that are valuable, money is good when it reminds us we worked and we can get something back, but it should never become more than that.
