Greetings Ania.
A very good question. I would ask you to examine the people of the USA. Tell me if this is a happy and well guided society.
I think that this will answer your question.
I my mind money is important only to a point. The quality of life and the corresponding happiness is a state of mind, independent from money.

I think people rely too much on money for happiness. Especially in North America.
It is sad to see people who care more about the way they look than the way they think and act towards others.

Hello Ania!
First of all I want to tell you that you asked very interesting question. In past 10 years the situation in our country (in Russia) changed very much and people begin to think that they can buy everything for money. As for me, I don't support such point of view because people can't buy for money such things like good friens and of coures love.

My best regards!

Ania, please let me know where you do your shopping. This household spends a hundred grand a year and I don't find any worthwhile joy in the toys, etc. It must be me missing something internally. A good one to you.

Glock.girl you are right on the "money". I'm from the U.S. and a lot of people here worry more about money than anything else. It is a sad thing.

It is unfare but true: you need money to be happy, or, at least, happier.
I, personnally, love travelling, seeing new things makes me happy, and for travelling you need money.
I do not think however, that you should care about money that much : if you wirk hard enough, everything will come together itself.
