Money isn't everything

I know we all joined Wealthy Affiliate for money.

We wanted to have more income, to have money for travel, for family expenses, for personal necessities and luxuries, etc.

Of course, we need money to have a comfortable life. We have to buy food, clothing and to pay bills and mortgages, car loans, and the list goes on.

In our lives, our ultimate goal is to be happy. Definitely, money has an important role in making that happen.

But, money is not everything. The measure of happiness does not depend on how much money we have. It's more about having peace of mind, healthy body, harmonious relationships and full spiritual life.

We cannot say that the rich people are happier than the poor ones.

We just learned of Kate Spade's suicide and her husband stated that she has been having bouts of depression and anxiety. She was known as a fashion icon and the co-owner of Kate Spade handbags. Her money did not buy her happiness and peace of mind.

I believe that if we become slaves to our money, it will make our lives fuller, busier, but more stressful and we eventually forget the basic things that should make us happy. And these things are FREE!

Let us all enjoy our journey here at Wealthy Affiliate but let us not forget that we have to prioritize our families, our friends and sharing things and experiences with them.

We may have planned for posting one to two or more blogs a week but if that week is our kid's birthday or he is having a special project in school and he needs you, forget about writing first and be with your kid.

I'm definitely happy to be here at WA, but I know my priorities!

Happy blogging and let us all ENJOY weekends with our loved ones!
