Does having money guarantee you a happy and highly fulfilled life?
Money does not automatically give you happiness. Instead, money gives you access to many things that can lead to happiness.
For example, if a girl loves pink cotton candy at the carnival and it costs 5 bucks. With money, you can easily buy pink cotton candy for that girl and make her happy with a genuine smile on her face. And, with a genuine smile on her face, her brain produces chemicals such as dopamine, oxytocin, etc. that makes her feel happy and feel good at the same time. Money has two sides. One, you can use it to grant you access to things. Two, it can control you from the inside out and make you want to have more and more amounts of money. In some cases, some super rich people with tons of money can become sad.
Money can be your access to things that can lead to happiness, but not necessarily make you happy just by having money.
The key to happiness is accepting life as it is. Understanding that life is going to have it’s ups and downs. To spite this, try to achieve balance in your life, and make good choices. Life is a series of choices. People who make good choices have a better life, then those which do not.There is no such thing as not making a choice. If you not making a choice to go forward you automatically making a choice to stand still.
