In Her words:

Yes, money buys happiness.

My parents have been married for over 20 years, and they always argue over money. But when my father started making more money, and became successful, they don't argue about it anymore.

My mom had always loved travelling, but without money, she couldn't do that. When my father got promoted and earned more, we started travelling and one thing I've noticed, she smiled more. She's happier, she looks younger, and her skin glows despite never applying any kind of skincare.

When we were poor, I've always envied kids who got to take private lessons. I've always loved school, especially math, and I wanted to join math competition. But I was poor, I couldn't study more for math competition. I was beaten by kids with private tutors. Yes, there are kids who are smarter than those who owns private tutors, but what are the chances when you compare each other?

When I was young, I've always loved drawing. I wanted to study art and follow my passion. But the college I'm after is very far, and I had to rent a flat. Moving out cost so much, that's why I gave up. I chose to study in another university that is less far, but I had to ride my own motorbike for 1.5 hours. I chose a major in accounting, because my mom said it's gonna be easier to look for work. I also had to work both in the morning and evening for pocket money and gas. I thought, if I were rich, I wouldn't have to think twice and apply for my dream university without thinking of the cost!

My grandma is suffering from complications of diabetes and heart attack. She is still alive to this day, because my aunt paid for her hospital fee. If my aunt were poor, my grandma would have died early.

So yes, money can buy happiness. If it doesn't make you happy, why don't you share your money to those who are less fortunate?
