Topic > The Things Money Can and Cannot Buy - 1581

Money, the medium of exchange for products and services, provides things people need, such as food, clothing, shelter, or medicine. People spend much of their lives searching for it. For example, my parent works from dawn to dusk to get it. The more money people have, the more benefits they will be able to obtain, because they will be able to get bigger and better houses, clothes or food. Less money means stress on bill payments, gas prices and food prices. With money people can satisfy their material needs. However, money cannot buy everything, such as happiness, friendship, love, health and appetite. Money provides pleasure to humans, such as houses, cars, or things that people like in terms of toys. However, these material needs will bring temporary happiness. People can buy the new toy they want, like the iPhone. People experience pleasure when they get the things they want. However, since it is a technology, more new things will be released and the pleasure of precious toys will decrease. The Telegraph interviewed an Australian millionaire, Karl Rabeder, who managed to purchase a 3,455 square foot mansion worth £1.4 million. He was also able to purchase a 17ha farm with a market value of £613,000. He also collected six gliders, worth £350,000, and a luxury Audi A8, worth £44,000. He was also able to take a vacation in Hawaii and enjoy the five-star hotel he stayed at. However, he sold his entire fortune and donated it all to charities in Central and Latin America. He realizes that money prevents future happiness. Now he feels lighter than ever. Many lottery winners also give their prize back to charity. Once there was also an old Chinese man who won 4 million Yuan. The one... center of the card... like addiction, whether it's addiction to money or other objects. People may not even realize that they are controlled by money. Money that brings problems to man is not everything. Health, life, relationships, happiness and appetite are the most important things in human life. Works Cited Albom, Mitch. Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson.
