About This Quote
This quote is attributed to the writer, Paul Goodman. Goodman was actually saying that money is not evil, it’s the lack of it that causes people problems. However, he meant that having no money can cause people to be miserable, even if they are doing well in other aspects of their lives. This also reminds us that money does not buy happiness.
Money does not make us happy. We are happy because we choose to be happy and money does not cause us to become happy.
