Having money in life is really just a tool. It is something to provide for items of survival. Things like shelter and food can be purchased. Most stuff people buy is considered a luxury and not essential to living. Being wealthy with lots of money in life does not always lead to happiness. It can darken a person’s judgment and promote confidence on the border of arrogance. It can also make a person feel isolated or create anxiety. Money can create an enormous amount of stress.

True wealth is in valuing health, family, and wisdom. The true happiness from money comes with the ability to be generous and supportive. Money doesn’t provide happiness, but it can help you sleep better at night.
