Money is a generally acceptable tool that is used for exchange of goods and services and to complete transactions. In as much as money make things happen, I disagree that it should be a sole source of happiness.
Firstly, Money makes a human to have a good platform for a fulfilling life but living a disciplined and purposeful life vis-a-vis pursuing success in one's field and reaching someone's goal in record time offers significant happiness, something that money does not guarantee. For example, it has been shown that professionals who are having a successful career tend to be happier than their counterparts who are into businesses because the former reach his/her goal as planned while the latter is usually not satisfied with the profit realized per time.
Also, there is a saying that health is wealth. Living a health-conscious life by keeping fit through regular exercise, ensuring adequate diets and timely treatment of illnesses engender more happiness. Studies have shown that, individuals who participate in daily exercise has a 20% increase in healthy and quality life compared to those that lead a Sedentary Lifestyle. For example, Athletes tend to life a happier life than those that are often lay back.
In addition, keeping a family oriented lifestyle where one have a regular gathering with family members promotes harmonious relationships that expel all stress emanating from jobs and business. This underscore the reason why Africans are happier than Europeans and Americans. Studies have shown that Africans have the least tendency to have depression or commit suicide because they always complete at least 2 family gathering in 3 months. For example, Nigeria is considered as a country with happiest people due to the fact that communal and family relationships are highly prevalent.
In conclusion, in as much as money is a good tool to get transactions done, it does not necessarily determine happiness as purpose-driven life, healthy lifestyle and family togetherness has proven to offer much more!
