Everything comes with a price tag, and each day we find ourselves making payments in various forms. The world is filled with people who have desires and are waiting to be blessed with abundance. Not only do people desire money, but they also long for it. Everyone has struggles and money can sometimes be the key to solving them.\u00a0According to CBS News, about 6 out of 10 Americans think money can buy happiness. As a college student who is on a tight budget, I can say the idea of having extra cash would bring me joy. I have two other siblings navigating the same financial struggles and I can see the strain it is causing my parents.\u00a0While my parents will continue to pay for our education, having financial breathing room would not only ease the stress of my parents, but it would bring us relief and joy.\u00a0Everyone has a wish list that contains their desires but to access them, they would need to have financial stability.\u00a0This spans from everyday things like shoes and clothes to more significant things such as a house or a car. Everyday things get more expensive which leads to more things we can\u2019t access. We are human, we are materialistic, and we want everything.\u00a0\u00a0With each passing day, the rising cost of everyday items limits our access to obtaining them. The reality is that we are materialistic, and we want everything there is to offer, but this can\u2019t be done if money is a problem. I have my own wish list but unfortunately, money is unattainable right now. If I did have the money, I would be happy and secure. Money unfortunately buys happiness because the world revolves around it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Money is everywhere and this world revolves around it.
