The Big Picture

     Hello readers! At this point, you have obtained knowledge on a variety of factors that influence happiness and emotional well-being in order to get to the bottom of what makes you happy. The question posed within this blog is whether or not money can make you happy? The answer is yes, money can contribute to one's happiness; however, my point is that money alone cannot make a person happy. 

    It is important to note that there are exceptions to everything, and that there are going to be those people who are completely content because of their wealth and success alone. Overall, what makes a person happy is much more difficult to figure out, as there are many things that influence the emotional state of a person. Money and financial well-being are included in this list of factors, as they contribute to one's stress-levels; and from personal experience, when I am stressed I am not the happiest of people. However these two things are accompanied by a list of other factors, including the relationships one has, the nation in which he/she has, the person's culture, religion, education, and factors beyond this list.

    Everyone has their own list of specific factors that influence their emotional well-being, however there remains a trend of themes that tend to impact many people. These many factors demonstrate that money is not the key to happiness, in fact there are many keys to unlock the door to lasting contentment. Each factor, whether it be money, success, marriage, friendships, etc., is a building block for creating a foundation for a strong emotional well-being. In conclusion, money is not the key to happiness, however you can take away many different points of view from this blog.
