Money alone cannot make a person happy.
People who believe money can make them happy often say that they never have to worry about bills or anything else ever again, because they have money to take care of it all, but money comes with it’s own set of problems that aren’t as easy to solve as the financial problems that having money does solve. Of course, someone with money will never have to worry about money troubles again, but they will worry that the people around them are there for the wrong reasons.
Money only creates a false sense of happiness. Unfortunately, this false sense of happiness doesn’t last very long and can leave people feeling alone. They’ll start to question if the people around them truly care about them or if they just want their money. They’ll worry about this so much they’ll start to isolate themselves from everybody, even those who truly care about them, because they'll be so paranoid they won’t know the difference between those who care for them and those who don’t. Many say that money solves all problems, but there's one problem it can never solve, and that's loneliness.
Although money can solve many problems it can also cause a multitude of other problems, and it can change people for the worse. People who have lots of money, as I’ve mentioned before, can feel isolated from the world, afraid that people only want them for their money. This isolation could lead to depression, anxiety, and loneliness.
Money can also change a person's personality, sometimes for the better, but most of the time for the worse. Many people say money changed their family members into selfish people they no longer recognized. I myself have seen what money does to people, it makes them into somebody no one ever thought they could become. Money changed my family member into somebody else completely. He wasn't the same person I’d grown up with, he often complained about the smallest inconvenience. He also began to belittle people any chance he got including our other family members. When we were younger he was the sweetest person you could ever meet, but money changed him into something ugly and unrecognizable. Sometimes I wish we could just go back to before he had money and be happy again.
I don’t know how everybody else feels about money and happiness. I only know what I feel, and money could never make me happy if I was alone and became a person who I didn’t recognize anymore.
I agree with Juliana, money itself cannot give you happiness at all, happiness is concept of feeling the emotion of joy. With that money is a complicated subject it can be very good but cause a lot of harm. In this world you would be surprised that many people would do everything to be filthy rich. I mean who wouldn't? Money can manipulate you to turn a blind eye and pay attention to dollar signs. I believe to be truly happy you must be content with yourself and loved ones around you. Whether that's being connected with a significant other, family, pets, friends etc. Money is only a build up to happiness, not happiness itself, that's another subject.
I totally agree with Juliana Garcia's article because so many people out there, mainly teenagers and young adults often preach how money would solve all of their problems. That is where they're wrong because money can't fix broken relationships. Being rich is often romanticized but the reality of it is loneliness and Juliana perfectly described a picture of what that would look like.
In her article, "Money Cannot Buy Happiness," Juliana Garcia explains how money changes people and the way they think. I agree with her because when some people get rich and wealthy they start to think they are better than everyone else and isolate themselves from everyone. This will cause them to feel lonely and most especially leave them lonely after all. According to the article, "They’ll worry about this so much they’ll start to isolate themselves from everybody, even those who truly care about them." Isolation can even lead to depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Money can not solve those problems. Juliana also stated how money can change someone. As stated, "Many people say money changed their family members into selfish…
In her article, "Money Cannot Buy Happiness," Juliana Garcia explains how money doesn't makes people happy. I agree with how money leaves you feeling lonely and depressed. According to the article, "...they won’t know the difference between those who care for them and those who don’t". This evidence proves that your mind starts playing with you by starting to question everyone around you. Juliana had stated, "Money can also change a person's personality." This shows how money can change someone by thinking they are better than others. This can lead them to being greedy. I believe that money has it's up and downs but overall money leaves you mentally unstable.
In their article, "Money cannot buy happiness," Juliana Garcia claims that Money cannot buy happiness, and even though it solves a lot of problems, it creates many more. I disagree with this claim, I believe that money can buy happiness and can help people more than it harms. In paragraph 3 Juliana Garcia claims that "Money can also change a person's personality, sometimes for the better, but most of the time for the worse." Even though it is true that having more money may change a persons personality, the problem lies with the person themselves, and how they let their status or wealth effect their relationships. Secondly it is statistically proven that people with more money are happier than those…
