Undoubtedly, a person is believed to live for something. His/her fortune is considered to be based on some pleasures, interests, achievements and relations.

I totally agree with the statement above that happiness may be obtained without paying anything. Firstly, health cannot be bought with money. To be sound a person should not worry about stuff and should live in harmony with nature. Secondly, an individual feels satisfied, when s/he gains some new information and broadens his/her horizons. In fact, new data may be obtained freely. Finally, life experience, which nurtures wisdom, is gained while coping with difficulties that are not paid for.

Nevertheless, there is another point of view on this issue. Some career makers claim that satisfaction and pleasure can only be purchased with money. What brings them felicity is power and mightiness. To become influential, they have to earn great sums of money. Besides, luxurious things, such as cars, apartments, jewellery, are also thought to be the main goals to achieve.

However, I still insist on my opinion. In fact, luxuries do not make their owner feel that someone needs him/her. To become happy, a person should have family and friends who do not envy of his/her success and will support him/her if she gets in trouble.

In conclusion, I would like to stress once more that under no circumstances should a person be focused on earning money. The most wonderful moments cannot be purchased.
