Money

The other day in class we talked about a man who decided to give away all his money and lives in a canyon in Utah now. He gave up his money to find happiness. He believed that money doesn't bring you happiness, money brings you success. In my opinion money is stressful. You have to save money, you have to pay the bills with your money. Its true, money brings you success, but does it bring you happiness? Most Americans probably wouldn't survive a few days without money. The American culture is materialistic, so how are suppose to survive without money? We need money to be happy, but can we say that we're happy? Probably not, we could say that we're successful though. As long as we get what we want, we're fine.

Money and Americans is like my generation and facebook. In a way we Americans are addicted to money. Well my generation I believe has a different addiction. We are addicted to facebook. A lot of my friends would probably have a hard time if they didn't check their facebook for one day. I'm on it a lot as well. I remember the last day at camp two summers ago, my friend said to me "Oh I can't wait to get onto facebook and see all the new notifications and friend requests I got while I was gone." I enjoyed being away from the computer for the whole summer. I was active and always doing stuff other than being on the computer. My friend couldn't wait to get on the computer though.
