Does being rich means happiness

I feel that money will bring happiness. Money can buy us many stuff like: iPad ,computer, hand phone, house, nice car. Electronic devices will provide entertainment sources which in my opinion, can bring us happiness. With a big car and house, owe vcan attract girls and friends, which will make us happy.

Money can bring us anything we want which will make us really happy. I like playing soccer. With money I can buy a ball. I like gaming, with money I can buy a gaming device or even buy a really pro account. At times , I can treat my friends which will make some happy.

Singaporeans work hard every day which makes them unhappy. However if they are rich since birth, they can be happy and do not have to work. 

HENCE MONEY GIVES US HAPPINESS

Being a prosperous country, are we a happy country? Why or why not? Does being rich means happy?

Although Singapore is a prosperous country, but in fact Singaporeans are not happy. Compared to China and Malaysia, the Happy Planet Index is lower. This means that Singaporeans are not truly happy. Why is this so? This is probably because of the hectic life we have in Singapore. Many people may not have time to interact with each other due to busy lives. Furthermore, despite some Singaporeans being rich, that does not mean that they are actually truly happy. Although you maybe rich and can afford everything that you want, but think of what you did in order to get what you deserve today. You may have worked hard for most of your life and got rich today, but during you milestones in getting rich, you often overlooked many things. You often do not have time to bond with your family and friends. In the end, your relationship with your family members and friends may just get worts. However, being poor doesn't mean you are unhappy. As long as you are doing something that you enjoy, it will make you happy. Thus, being rich doesn't means happy.

Looking Beyond The Picture (Poverty) -Jia Xuan

Singapore is a relatively prosperous country, but does that really mean that we are a happy country? In my opinion, I definitely do not think that being rich is equivalent to happiness. Those points do not equate, and that might surprise many people. 

Many people expect Singaporeans to be happy, because of all that we have: good transportation and education etc. However, things definitely differ from what most people have in mind. Singapore, is no doubt a great country, looking at the levels of corruptions as well as economic performance. However, there are many other points that others do not consider. Singaporeans could be stressed and frustrated about living in a place with high population density and work stress. This includes the fact that Singaporeans are generally too caught up over academic grades, outcomes and materialism, and pragmatism still weighs heavily on people's minds despite affluence and the city's transformation. The competitive nature of Singaporeans can lead to many having the fear of losing out to others. This might affect the level of happiness that Singaporeans experience as they are more concerned about winning instead of being happy.

The points above prove that being rich doesn't equate to being happy. Instead there are many other factors that contribute to happiness, like good physical and mental health, good personal ad intimate relationships, such as those of marriage, the family and friendships etc. Being rich is definitely not the ultimate reason why people are happy, it can be one of the factors, however there are many who are rich, who are definitely poorer in terms of happiness in comparison to one with an average income. 

Looking beyond the picture -Yuxuan

In my opinion, being rich does not mean happiness of a person. However, a basic financial capacity of a person is very important to keep them away from sadness. 

For example,if  a person is struggling to survive in the underclass society, when he suffers from hunger,  despair, the despise from the rich; he is uneducated,  ignorant and empty minded ; will he be happy? 

I will say no.

In the contrary, does a rich man necessary equals to a happy man? 

Yea, I know,  he has huge possession: large houses, expensive cars, he might also be popular and respected because of his position and his manners. Will he then be a happy man?

My answer is: Yes and no. If a rich man is not contented with what he has, in all those temptations he faced, he might easily loss himself and his real happiness in that process.

In conclusion, the secret of happiness to me is to stay contented with what you have; enjoy all the love and happiness all around that is given to you.

Does being rich means happy?

Personally, I don't think that being rich means being happy. However, one can be happy if they are rich but it don't necessarily have to be this case. Money do not come with happiness. I feel that being happy is just simply being contented with what you have which has nothing to do with the amount of money we have. Sadly, I believed that Singaporeans are not happy even though Singapore is a prosperous country with good transportation, education system, and so on. Most Singaporeans are too caught up over academic grades, outcomes which weighs heavily on peoples' minds despite the city's transformation into a even more modern city and affluence. The modern environment and facilities the country provide residents with had turn most of us into ungrateful people. The affluence we have had caused us to take things for granted and becoming ungrateful and resulting to not feeling happy. Hence I do not think that being rich means happy.
