Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldn’ t agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships.
When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, " Suze, you are so wrong. Money isn’ t the key to life—this is!" At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family.
That’ s when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college?
As their answers are "yes" , I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. That’ s when they understand that I had it right.
I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well-being: without meaningful relationships, there’ s no chance of ever being truly happy. That’ s why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words: "People first. Then money. Then things. "
How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年) , the percentage of Americans who say they’ re happy hasn’ t changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but we’ re not much happier on average.
A paradox (悖论) ? Far from it. My sense is that while we’ re making more money, we aren’ t making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry about saving for retirement (退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as many of you know, it’ s really hard to increase your happiness when you’ ve got a lot of money worries.
Do you agree, or am I way off base? I’ d love to know what you think about the money/happiness connection. [br] Why did the author ask the group questions in Paragraph 3?
