Does Money Mean Happiness??

Money has always been thought of as the key to happiness and the embodiment of success. But money may not be the answer to finding happiness. The only reason we think this is because of our social construction of reality. Since we were kids we have always been taught to place a high value on money. Of course we need it to be happy, but once we reach a certain point, it does not make us any happier any more. Once we have food, a car, and a roof over our heads, there is not much more money can keep doing for us. Upgrading from a 20 in. t.v. to a 54 in. t.v. will not make one any happier. Either way, we will still see the same shows. We see this all the time. People work constantly just so they can make more money to supposedly attain more happiness. However, in the process of earning more money many people forget about the really important things in life, like family, friends, and our health. We lose track of theses important things chasing after money and that is the exact thing we must try to avoid in order to have a truly fulfilling life. We must do our best not to let our social construction of reality steer us in the wrong path.
