Writing prompt: Does money make you happy
Money doesn't give you happiness but it does give you structure and an ability to plan for the things that make you happy.
I remember being homeless and sitting on a concrete bench outside and watching people go in and out of the McDonald's from a Cross the Street wondering why they do it, I remember seeing an old couple holding hands and walking into McDonald's and I wondered why they chose to sit down on fake plastic benches and eat unhealthy food surrounded by loud strangers when they have their own kitchen with real food and a patio outside. How strange human behavior can be. And then it hit me they are now probably in their 80s but they were young 60 years ago and back then getting fast food at the local burger joint was the best thing around. I guess everyone wants to go back to when they were young.
