In the world, one needs money to eat, drink, and stay warm. Immediate and future self-sufficiency is linked with money.

We all know that to lead a good life one needs to be in good health. But there is something else you need besides Health?

It is Wealth! Forget what you have been told that money does not make happiness.

“In recent decades, having more money has become increasingly associated with greater happiness.  The Expanding Class Divide in Happiness in the United States, 1972—2016, found that among people age 30 and older, the correlation between income and happiness has steadily risen over the years.”
