Can
you imagine our life without money? It’s quite impossible. There is
a saying - “Money makes the world go round”. People work for
money, people spend their money, they love, live and die for money.
If you have money, you can get everything.
Today
people pay for things in many different ways: in cash, by cheque or
by credit card. Nowadays one of the most convenient ways of paying is
doing it via the Internet.
Many
people think that money brings happiness. In my opinion, this is not
true. For example, in Russia people are richer but unhappier than
fifty years ago. The USA is the richest country in the world but
Americans are not the happiest people in the world.
There
are lots of millionaires who have serious personal problems. However,
very poor people in the developing world, who live in overcrowded
houses without any running water and with no electricity, can be very
happy with their families and friends.
So
what can make us happy? I think, it’s close relationships and close
friends. As for me, other people make you happy, not money. If we are
talking about the place of money in my life, I’d like to say that
I’m not very careful with it.
