Some people say that money talks so rich people are always happy doing whatever they want without working.
However, I agree that rich people who do not work rarely happy because of two reasons.
First, working itself is the bases of happiness.
Second, easy money ruins person's life.
I will explain in detail below.
Above all, joy from fun activity becomes more greater only after labors.
Obviously, there are plenty of entertainment that money enables you to enjoy.
However, hard working people feel happier than idle people when they enjoy themselves.
For this reason, many senior citizons and billionairs looking for job however old they are and however rich they are.
Let me take my father for example.
My father had worked as a public servant for 20 years untile he retired from the job 5 years ago.
While he was working, he always complained about stress from too much workload and people above him in rank.
This was, in fact, the reason why he decided to retire job way ahead of his due retirement age along with health problem.
Understandably, soon he planed how to spend all the savings and pensions for the rest of his life.
Sadly, however, it did not take long to realize that "All play and no work make Jacks a dull boy."
For a couple of months, my father and mother travelled to almost every coner of their home country and then to many European countries.
Then, he joined soccer club for middle-aged men to play his favorite sport every morning.
He also went fishing every weekend, which he had missed while he at work.
Only less than a year after all the entertaining activities, he began to say that his life seemed empty.
It takes only less than a year my father finish all the entertaining activities. Than, he began to say that his life seemed empty.
My father often told us that he felt nostelgic for the hustle and bustle of his workplace and every leisure activities felt more exciting before retirement.
Finally, he chose to go back to work and got a job at a small company.
Although his new duty was not as influential as before, he enjoyed it and had a greater fun in his spare time.
This shows that just idling days away makes people unhappy.
Next, effortless affluence makes people vulernable to distress.
Of course, finecial hardship brings people stress all the time.
Neverthless, lack of money and workinig hard to make it lead people to know the value of money.
Indeed, not knowinig the value is prone to unhappy event.
A TV magazine program covered some lottery winnners whose life ended up being worse off.
According to the show, a major cause of unhappiness came from a self-indulgent life style.
After they hit jackpoot, they spent their money right and left.
The lucky people say that they did not feel any need to save money because it did not take any effort to earn the money.
One man quit working after winning the lottery.
He stayed karaoke bars late into the night drinking expansive wiskeys on every single day.
He also threw away a lot of money on bar girls who he had an affair with.
Later his wife found him cheating on her and devorced him and his children felt ashamed of their father and kept their distance from him.
When he was running out of money, he was left alone and addicted to alchole.
Another person ventured into this and that business where he did not have any expertise.
Of course, the realization of careless investment came in much later.
The jackpot winner reduced to being a credit delinquent as all the bussness went bankrupt.
Another reason for the lottery winners' unsuccessful life is originateed from their neighbors who thought that they did not deserve that fortune.
Most of the millionaires had their houses broken into often times.
Frauds always temped them to do bussness with them.
In addition, their relatives kept asking them to lend money and never paid back what they considered easy money.
In this sense, people do not work because of their wealth are hardly happy.
