Does money really not make happiness?
Some people consider the relationship between money and happiness to be just an imaginary relationship through which money cannot buy happiness, and it may sometimes be a major source of misery and unhappiness.
If you are one of those people who think like this, maybe now you should change the way you think.
A new Swedish study came to the conclusion that having more money makes a person happy in his life, and creates a sense of self-satisfaction.
This comes after examining the long-term psychological effects of the thousands of people who won the lottery in Sweden.
The study found that these winners were very happy two decades after winning the prize money.
Earning large quantities of money, according to the study titled "The Long-Term Psychological Effects of Receiving the Lottery on Mental Health," makes a person happy in the future.
The American Newspaper The New York Times also reported that the results of this study are due to the fact that winning the lottery is a random event, which led to the refutation of some differences, and the removal of material obstacles between some people.
The random nature of the amount earned means that researchers can measure how much money affects people's happiness.
"Winning the lottery brings misery"
A theory that pushes Britain to make drastic changes to the game
David Cesarini, a researcher at New York University and one of the study's supervisors, emphasized that "there is a widespread misunderstanding about the scientific proof that winning the lottery often makes people miserable."
But over the past week, there have been reports of some drastic changes to the UK's National Lottery, in which a new game could be included that gives winners a monthly bonus for life.
Players can claim a regular return of £10,000 instead of receiving the entire prize in one go, which can result in the full amount being spent.
These changes are also part of a broader effort to reverse the decline in ticket sales, as the "Lotto" lottery has already suffered a catastrophic drop in the level of tickets purchased over the past two years by 22%.
Camelot's new CEO, Nigel Railton, said efforts to increase sales will focus primarily on emphasizing how the lottery supports community groups, charities, culture, and sports.
Opinions and understandings vary, minds and perceptions vary, and if you are one of the people who cannot buy happiness with money, you probably do not know how to spend it.
In sum, there are those who agree that money brings happiness, and whoever has money, his happiness is greater, and there are those who say the opposite that money is not a condition for happiness.
Arguments and proofs that money brings happiness
“Money does not bring happiness” is a saying that many think is a reality of living. Is this true in our present time? From my point of view, it is an outdated saying. A conspiracy theory invented by financial failures. Those who believe and believe in this saying, the following saying applies to them: "Whoever says that money does not buy happiness, he does not have enough money."
There are those who will agree with me and disagree with me, but I am not speaking out of no, as the arguments and proofs have the decisive word.
socially:
If money does not bring happiness, then what is the secret of the misery of the proletarian working class in the past centuries? Happiness is always linked to the atmosphere and circumstances surrounding the individual, and money, especially if it is abundant, entitles its owner to a decent life (the upper hand is better than the lower hand) and social value and circumstances that reduce one's misery.
Denmark, which is the happiest country in the world, is due to the well-being of the Danish people and the high per capita income.
Psychologically:
Doctor Martin Seligman, and for those who do not know him, is the president of the American Psychological Association and one of the leaders of positive psychology (the science of happiness), he has concluded through hundreds of research that people who live a rich and more satisfying social life are the happiest group, otherwise, those who live in extreme poverty are Their share of happiness is low,
No two disagree that poverty is psychologically abhorrent because of its effects, such as negative feelings and disturbances.
Logically:
Let us address the issue with mental logic. Happiness is a feeling of joy and pleasure when a need is satisfied, a goal is achieved, or there is no situation in which a person lives and sees it as a source of sadness and unhappiness. The source of happiness varies from person to person, but money always interferes and penetrates directly or indirectly. Money is the nerve of life.
