Money can't buy happiness..Really????

"Money can't buy happiness" thats the widely spoken phrase but how far do people believe in it. Just having said it isn't enough neither does it work. Never did anyone attempt to prove it nor does anyone accept it and if there are those who do not believe this, just as you i wonder why are those people unhappy who aren't blessed enough with it. Is it because they donot know how to live a happy life or is it because they donot at all want to lead a happy life? I ain't got no clue on this but i am not one of those firm believer because i believe money brings happiness to me, my family and to every individual.

It is said that you only know the value of money once you start earning. So true to this, just as i was beginning to understand its value i was pushed into a pool of debt soon i entered into service. I barged a huge amount of loan not for myself but for my parents who was in dire need of  money to amend their dying business.

After this help out, the degree of financial crisis me and my husband had to go through was tremendous. Every new day was then a challenge for us. Life seemed tough. Everyday we would console ourselves that the situation would never remain the same and that one day we will be able to lead a comfortable life again. We tried hard to adjust with all that we had in hand and live a happy life and yes to some extent we did succeed. However, everyday wasn't the same. We struggled to maintain that happiness and most of the time we lost to the perpetual crisis. A moment of happiness became rare to us. It came to us once in a while that too with money but my better half never gave up. He would always remind me that the crisis is not here to stay for long. " It is temporary", he would say.

After having gone through alot of financial crisis and all the stress it brought with it, it would be a lie if i say i don't regret lending my parents such a huge amount of loan but there's one thing i can say for sure that despite all these ups and downs i feel proud that i did something worthwhile for my parents. Moreover, it gave me the biggest lesson of my life- coping with stress, made me realize the value of money, brought me closer to my better half and many more.

So who says money can't buy happiness??? In today's world it is an agent that brings happiness to every single being.
