Some people think that in order to produce a happy society, it is necessary to ensure that there is only a small difference between the earnings of the richest and poorest. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #society #difference #earnings
In recent years, the relationship between financial health and
happiness
 has become a controversial topic. Some people believe that it is necessary to keep a check between the difference in income between the richest and the poorest in
order
 to create a happy society.In
this
 essay, I will give an explanation of why I tend to partly disagree with
this
 statement.
Firstly
, wealth can bring you materialistic
happiness
 through the means of buying luxury goods.
This
 might help to relax and enjoy frivolous products.
For example
, I wanted to buy a car called the Genesis G90 which has a lot of opulent features like heated seats, ambient lighting, and fur carpeting.
Although
 buying
this
 car brought me a lot of joy, that kind of
happiness
doesn
'
t
last
 long. Materialistic
happiness
 is undoubtedly a short-term solution.
Secondly
, I would like to point out that one
doesn
'
t
 need
money
 to find
happiness
, there are other long-term measures of
happiness
 that
doesn
'
t
 require a person to be vastly wealthy.
For Example
, I adopted a baby Golden Retriever three years ago and one cannot put a price on the amount of
happiness
 and love he has brought into my life. One might argue that you need
money
 in
order
 to adopt an animal, but the fact is you don'
t
 need to be extremely rich in
order
 to do so. In my opinion, even if you need some
money
 to attain
happiness
 in your life, one
doesn
'
t
 need an exorbitant amount of
money
 to achieve
happiness
.
Therefore
 we might not need to target to be wealthy in
order
 to attain a content life.
