Does money lead to a happy life?

There are various definitions for a happy life. I believe that there is s strong correlation between money and a happy life. The answer to this question is yes. I’ll talk about why I think so.

First, money leads to stable life. One of my definitions of happy life is stable life without any annoying and worry. Let’s take net café refugees. People who don’t have stable residence and who stay at net café instead, we call them net café refugees. They don’t have stable job and they get by as daily worker with low income. Anyway, the fact remains that a lot of people are struggling with low income. Every time media takes up net café refugees, I can’t help thinking I’m very happy to own condo.

Second, as another definition of my happy life, it is life I’m able to afford what I want to enjoy to my heart's content. I love grilled chicken, Yakitori in Japanese. Yakitori with beer is the best matching. Way back when I was university student, I wanted to eat bunch of Yakitori from the bottom of my heart. But it was impossible just because I didn’t have any income if any, allowance from my parents. Small potatoes never satisfied my young big appetite. I consider that this is financial restriction. Now, I have enough income and all the money at my command to enjoy Yakitori. Having Yakitori with beer, this is the moment I feel I’m very happy.


In conclusion, I believe that money is important factor for a happy life.
