Does being rich means being happy?

Does being rich bring happiness?


Singapore is one of the richest countries in the world, but we are also one of the least happy countries in the world.

Most people in Singapore are rich and thus, they take things for granted and always ask for more. When they want more, they will need to work harder and will then have no time to enjoy themselves and do what they really enjoy. Thus, they will not be as happy.

Whereas in other poorer countries, people appreciate what they have and don't spend as much time trying to work harder to earn more money and thus, they will have more time to do things they like and enjoy. They will have time to do simple things that bring joy to them, which enables them to live a happier life.

Therefore, being rich does not necessarily mean being happy.
