What if we changed our world view and acknowledged that money does buy happiness? When interpreted correctly, this statement can be life changing. When you begin to define wealth as the financial yardstick that celebrates your mastery of a trade, profession or service, the pride that you feel is enhanced with the accompanying financial success. And when you appreciate that wealth that is spent via charitable giving is the most happiness-inducing way to spend money; well, that’s money buying happiness too. And neither of these notions – radical as they may appear – have anything to do with greed or any of the perceived-ignoble aspects of wealth accumulation. So go ahead, build wealth in pursuit of happiness!
