It`s an eternal question about the ways people can enjoy their lives.Some people think that those who earn a lot of money can be happy and only a thick wallet can bring joy. However, there is another point of view, which I strongly support, that well-being depends not only on money.

I suppose, material prosperity does not play the main role in a human's life. First of all, money, I think, is not able to give you the things that will enrich your internal world. This means that you will not get love and friendship because of high salary. Moreover, I am sure, it can not give you a piece of advice either, when you need support. A person can not purchase happiness and aquire deep understanding of life.

However, there is another point of view. Many people are in favour of the idea that only earning fortunes is the pledge of happiness. Money can rule the world, they believe.

I am strongly against this idea. I am sure, these people fail to understand that this matter constitutes only the material part of life and you can lose it at any time while our spiritual life, our joys and sorrows, our ups and downs stay with us forever.

To sum up, I argue, the first and foremost thing people are supposed to bear in mind - everybody should appreciate the intangible things because they bring us more joy and happiness than money.
