Can money not really buy happiness? When we acquire what we want and we are happy is that not happiness. Unless we are mistaken joy from happiness. Happiness is a product of happenings around us and if we buy what we need or acquire it and we are happy then money have bought the happiness.
Money buys happiness for me. I don’t know what people are talking about saying it doesn’t. I’ve been in situations where I wasn’t happy because I didt have money to fix issues or do the things I want to do. As soon as the money comes, I feel satisfied and do what I want to do and am happy.
When I eat what am craving for, am happy. When I buy the clothes I like or desire, am happy. When I want these things and don’t have them, am not happy. When am able to get projects done and keep things up and running am happier.
Well who ever said money doesn’t buy happiness doesn’t know where to go shopping. I could show you. In as much as I love a couple of things and a good ice cream, I don’t have any known thing that am guilty of over spending on maybe because am still managing my funds to meet my basic needs.
When it comes to going out of my way to impress someone or make them happy. Well am very much guilty. Sometimes I tell myself that am very stingy to myself. This is because over and again, I could have money but not spend it on myself but countless times, I’ve gone out of my way to impress people or make them happy.
For example the one that just happened last week. This period I’ve not been buoyant but 12th of March was a friends birthday and believe me I didn’t have a dime on me because I just used all the money on me for a project but I wanted to reach out to my friend no matter how small. Being someone that loves to budget, I also wouldn’t want to do what I can’t carry.
I had to borrow 5k from someone to send to my friend on her birthday. As little as that may seem, it was a big sacrifice to me. I just repaid the debt today before making this post. This is not the only time. I see myself always going out of my way to please people and reach out to them.
It also make me happy that I can reach out to others and make them happy. Well if there was something I want to be guilty on over spending on, that would be ice cream and shawarma. My love for these two knows no end. Hahahaha.
