4 Reasons Why Money is the Source of True Happiness
And Why You Shouldn’t Feel Guilty About Wanting It
Money is the root of all evil.
The best things in life are free.
These are phrases we’ve heard a lot — but I’m not sure if they are actually true.
Those who say money is the root of all evil rarely have much of it. And there is nothing in life that’s genuinely free.
Money doesn’t buy happiness — it is happiness. And here are a few reasons why it’s ok to think so.
The Best Things in Life Aren’t Actually Free
Let’s start with this one. It may seem like the best things in life are free, but it’s money that allows you to experience the things that appear to be “free”.
Say, for example, getting to watch a sunset on a beach. That costs nothing, right? It’s one of the free, simple joys of life, isn’t it? Therefore, it should definitely be included in the free category.
But how are you going to get to that beach?
If it’s right on your doorstep, then you probably have some significant income that allows you to live in such close proximity.
