Money can't buy happiness

You can't go to a store like "One jar of happiness, please". But instead you can buy a chocolate bar and share it with your friend and make the both of you happy.

Happiness isn't expensive clothes and cars, alcohol or any illegal chemicals. Happiness is doing something good and making someone else happy, and yourself at the same time.

You don't need money to be happy but you can spend it on something that creates happiness. The millionaires aren't any happier than the normal workers with lower salaries. The rich don't even know what to do with their money and they're just hysterically using it to get rid of it. If I had a lot money, more than I'd need myself for studies and for making a few dreams come true, I wouldn't keep the rest of the money myself. Or at least now I think so. It's just morally so wrong to have too much of something while others are suffering. I would share the rest of the money with my family and friends and if there would still some extra left, I'd donate it to some good organization. Now I just need to hope that I'll win in lottery...

I don't really understand the people who have to shop all the time spending their money always on something new, specially if they don't necessarily need it. Like most girls love shopping new clothes and shoes and everything but I don't really see the point of it. Wasting money on something needless and filling the earth with new stuffs and rubbish. Besides it's wasting natural resources. At least I already have closets full of clothes and I feel guilty because I don't even use all of them. Luckily I don't have a desire to always get something new and gorgeous. Of course sometimes it's great to do some purchases if you find something lovely and can't resist the enticement.

At least to make me happy you don't need to buy anything: just say something nice. For example a couple of days ago at school one of my not so good friends just suddenly said "Sofia, I like your jacket" with a smile and that was enough to make my day. Besides I don't even like that jacket myself at all.. I want to start doing like her, saving others' days by giving a smile and saying at least one good word. For free.
