money can buy lots of things but then again, the decision is ours, to choose if things will make us happy. Alternatively, lots of possessions that we first "want" turn out to be dissatisfictions and baggage that doesn't please us.On the other hand, happiness is not just set by one single factor but many others. From my perspective, however, happiness does not always increase in direct proportion to the amount of money.Either way, it is indisputable that money has a brief effect on life satisfaction, especially after we have got enough money to please our fundamental needs.
