I don't believe that happiness is only a property of the rich. I believe that happiness is a choice, and no matter how broke or poor you are, if you chose to be happy, you would be.

I know that having money has a lot of benefits... The ones that can make people happy. I also know that money when not used properly can bring sorrows to their owners.

I did not grow up with money. We were many, but I found happiness with my siblings. I knew rich people who were not always happy. They would come to church with their big cars, I would start envying them, but when it is time for prayer, they would go to meet the pastor and kneel down.

It was then I knew that not having money is not a restriction to happiness, and having money does not guarantee happiness, though left to me, I would prefer to be rich and happy (lol)
