Having money can solve a lot of problems in terms of finances, but it
cannot buy happiness and love. Money can buy you happiness if stuff is
what really makes you happy, but if your happiness lies in things that
are less superficial money will not guarantee happiness. Having a big
house or a fancy car or maybe even getting to the point where you don't
have to work at all will not necessarily make you happy if you are
unable to do the things you love. Money could also, in a certain sense,
buy you love, but only with someone who only cares whether or not you
have a good amount of money in the bank. It can't buy your true love
since that person will most likely care more about your money than about
you. All money can really do for you is help you pay the bills and get
things that you wouldn't have otherwise.
Happiness simply does not come from owning a nice house and a nice car and maybe even hiring people to do all the yardwork and cleaning in the house. Those things can certainly be nice, but they won't bring true happiness. True happiness comes from doing things that you love and being able to express the things that your passionate about. A big house can't do that for you, and neither can an expensive car. They might look nice and they may make you more popular, but they will not make you happy if your dreams are less superficial.
While money may not really be able to buy you happiness or love, it can buy you peace of mind. So many Americans struggle with paying bills and making ends meet. Many have to take two or more jobs to be able to pay their bills while many more can't even get a job. Having money saves you from those worries. You won't have to worry about being unable to pay a few of your bills one month and you won't have to stop and think about how much money is in the bank before you go eat out with your family. Money can protect you from the financial worries that so many Americans face today. Even though that would be a huge burden off anyone's shoulders, it is not that same as true happiness. Having money does not mean you have everything you want. It just means you can afford to buy almost anything you want.
