Money can not buy relationships


True relationships are never based on  money , just love
Snickers! 
The best happiness comes from family
This past week we read the essay called, “On the Want of Money,” written by William Hazlitt. He begins his essay with, “Literally and truly, one cannot get well in the world without money.” I found this statement to be very true. Of course there are difficult ways to survive without money, but many of the people who do are homeless, starving, and miserable. Everybody has their own viewpoint on money, but I am one who believes that money can buy happiness, but only to a certain extent. We had to buy my dog Snickers, and he brings me happiness every single day! When donating items you had to buy, you have the opportunity to help people at homeless shelters, unwanted children, or struggling families to be very happy. A simple toy from the dollar store can make any little abused toddler feel cheerful again. Also many people enjoy playing sports or musical instruments. Equipment, instruments, and proper uniforms aren't free. We have to put money towards what we love. Another part of Hazlitt’s essay informs that we shouldn't let money become everything. There is a certain extent to when money becomes all a person will live for, and that is wrong. Money cannot buy real relationships. Friendships and true relationships come directly from love and care. When a person loves you, you will be able to see it in their eyes and their smile. Money can bring happiness with items, but you can never buy somebody's love.
