People like it or not, money is important in life. In fact, It's presence is directly or indirectly related to happiness. ​I am not saying that money can buy happiness

​,​ BUT ..and it's a huge but: the way the people are, the way we have been raised, the way this world operates (which it does on money), our happiness to a certain extent depends on it. In this highly judgemental society of today where people loathe you for earning too much and 

​pull​ you down if you don't have much

​;​

 our status on the whole is decided by the amount of moolah we are raking. May be earning more of it won't make us happy but people around us and close to us namely, friends and family are bound to be ecstatic on our high bank balance. It is one of the most visible ways deployed by people to measure our success and prosperity, so the hype around it is much obvious. 

Happiness ain't a thing which c​ou​ld be bought in a store: true but ​money ​can make us own numerous objects which we desire; it can make us fulfill our lieflong dreams of pusuing an adventure; it can make us help others in innumerable ways which in turn could bring happiness for others. So, money and happiness are not in a direct relation with each other rather an indirect one.

​There is another side of this story. There are two broad categories of people ​while taking into consideration the prospect of money. First is the group of people, who are working just for money, they are living for it and they would even die, trying living for it. Second is the one which is working just enough to own sufficient money to get them going and fullfill their dreams or aid them in achieving something other than money in their lives. The people of the latter category are already aware that money can't buy happiness and the former ones would one day or other come to this realization. So all in all, it depends on the person trying to find this answer. If they are brave and bold enough to stop being affected by the perceptions of people around and are able to acknowledge their inner voice, they won't ever be bothered by this question. The reason this question props up time and again is that most of us are living a secondary life guided by the dreams and aspirations of people around. We are afraid, I am afraid to carve my own path into this world by side-stepping the one followed by the majority. So, until I gather enough courage or right opportunity to poke my head out, I will keep on doing what I am doing, keep on following money so that even If I don't have courage or opportunity, possessing money could make me gather what is required to start on my own. Because personally I believe that being mad about money throughout my life won't make me happy rather the essence of being together with your loved ones and exploring the world with them would! So do whatever it takes to improve your situation or keep doing whatever you are doing until you have the guts to do so.

Good Night, be Patient!
