Does Money Really Make You Happy?
May 27, 2008
I have never been that well off but at the same time I would never say that I was poor either. However it’s very easy to get caught in a trap where you think that that next item you buy will somehow make your life complete. It might be that you’re really desperate to buy a PDA, digital photo frame or even a brand new Mercedes. But where does it all stop?
It seems that in no time at all you buy a product and then you see that a newer model has just been released. Of course, it is usually slimmer, sleeker, has more function and is a “must-have”. But when does it all end? There will always be another product released that is better than the one you have.
Let go of this feeling. Really, just let go. I swear, you will feel like there is a big weight lifted off your shoulders. Just be happy with what you have. After all, just look at all the poor people in the likes of Burma and China.
