What Can Money Buy?

There is that saying that money can’t buy happiness,

Everyone always says that its true,

But I’m not so sure I believe it.

Money is well everywhere today,

And without it you can’t get very far.

And if you go by the saying than you would agree with the fact that those new ipads and complex cell phones that everyone can’t wait to get there hands on would not bring happiness.

That those new shiny cars and fancy clothes would not bring happiness,

And those mansions over looking sandy shores wouldn’t bring happiness either.


If I had the chance to buy a new apple computer that could play a youtube video without skipping every other frame,

looking like someone is cutting up the picture,

I would think I would be much happier,

But no, money can’t buy happiness.


I would love to go to Hawaii and lay in the white sand beneath the sun,

staring at the crystal clear water,

but I still would not get happiness from that,

because I’d have to pay.


If I could go shopping and pick out as much,

and whatever I want without having to put back that adorable shirt thats way too expensive, I still wouldn’t be happy

because I’d have to buy each and every thing I pick out.


To me a life of vacations and new things sounds nice.

But new things and vacations and almost everything else in life involves

or requires money.

So that would not be happiness.

How come people who don’t have money wish for it then?

If it can’t buy happiness than what is it good for?

I mean, happiness is the most important thing in life, right?

I suppose life could be happy without money,

But how can life with money be unhappy?
