There is a saying that "money can't buy you love" but depending on your definition of Love that may not always be true.  Another saying is "money can't buy you happiness" You hear people many times contemplate what they would do if they just won the lottery and others take countless trips just past the Tennessee State line in order to purhase lottery tickets when the jackpot gets high.

Often though one thing money buys you is certain trouble.  There are stories abounding about lottery winners who found nothing but grief from their winnings.  Sure they had a period of time when they went on spending sprees and purchased those things they always thought would bring them happiness.  You can be sure if you came into a large sum of money there would be people out there that would be wanting to take it from you at any cost even if that meant bringing harm to you or those you love.

Money isn't always the cure all but neither is poverty.  My belief is that the secret to finding happiness is learning or finding the way to be happy with what you have.  Nothing is wrong with having wealth but most of the people, at least from reports, gain the greatest happiness when they give away from their abundance.  Giving to truly worthy needs.  

It's sad but it's a matter of fact that there are plenty of dangerous and evil people on this earth and often those who gain great wealth also gain many undesirable things to go along with it.  Others find that even a great amount of wealth doesn't bring the happiness that they thought it would bring but rather just more headaches and different kinds of worries.

Be as the Bereans ( Acts 17:11 )
