Can money buy happiness?

The phrase "money can't buy happiness" is partially true, but at the same time, money can buy things that make us happy, so are we going to say "money can buy happiness?". While we deliberate on that, happiness is an important part of human life, it gives birth to other emotional attributes. When one is happy, there would be total concentration which will lead to absolute focus and dedication to achieve success. As humans, there are things we just can't take our eyes off and we tend to get them for ourselves just to satisfy ourselves and make us happy.

Happiness cannot be overemphasized, it builds positivity in one's life. Doing things that make one happy is one of the best ways to live a fulfilled life, especially in a country where things are difficult and surviving is a thug of war. Looking around our society, nothing seems to be giving happiness, but then it is necessary and important to find happiness in every little thing around one's life just to live a life that's worth it without having any cause to be depressed. Some people find happiness in smoking, taking hard drugs, and taking alcohol, while some think being promiscuous is the best way to stay happy. Amidst many options available to find happiness, individuals choose the path they want to tread to attain the peak of happiness.

For me, family is everything that brings happiness to me; seeing and having my loved ones around me is the topmost key to happiness, but then speaking of what money can buy that brings happiness, I have quite a lot of things that I buy with money that brings me happiness. Firstly is food, oh yes! I am a foodie, a lover of good food. I am someone who loves satisfying my cravings when it comes to food. As far as I love eating, I make sure to eat healthy, which is very important even though I try to let loose sometimes and take junk just to satisfy the craving. For me, food is a joy giver, and the joy of eating good food cannot be overemphasized; a foodie like me will understand that food is essential to healthy living.

Another thing that I buy that gives me happiness is silver jewelry. It's weird right? Yes, I hear that every day from people who believe gold is finer and more expensive than silver, but then I don't listen to that because my love for silver is just out of this planet Earth. I have a vendor that sells jewelry, and anytime she has a new stock of silver jewelry, she always informs me, and I buy it unless I don't like it. My mom does complain anytime she sees me with new jewelry, even though I wear this jewelry once in a while, but I just love seeing them. It makes me feel good and satisfied. So, this means money can literally buy happiness; since I buy things that make me happy, it sure can buy happiness.

Thanks for your time and your comments will be appreciated.
