Buying Your Way to Happiness.

It is a fact that money cannot buy emotions; therefore, money cannot buy someone their happiness.  From my research over the past few weeks, I have concluded that the "things" money buys do bring pleasure temporarily.  

Think about getting a job for example.  You work and work and work.  But in the end you are making a profit.  Some money goes to the bills, some goes to savings, and some goes to spendings.  It is up to you how you want to spend your money.  So if you have been saving up for a new computer and finally are able to obtain your new device, you will feel satisfaction and happiness.  But after exploring your computer for a couple weeks, your new possession becomes old and your feelings dissolve.  And you move on and start saving up for something else.     

                                

In today's society, many children are bought whatever they desire.  Their parents basically "buy them happiness", but their feelings do not last forever.  As time progresses and new ideas come to term, people become more infatuated with materialized goods.  As a matter of fact, consumerism is now a part of the American culture.  For instance, many parents spoil their children with Hummers and extravagant parties just for their sixteenth birthdays.  Think about it, does money truly make one happy?
