Is money the basis of a happy life?
Why or why not?
Money is not the basis of a happy life, as many people are able to find joy in simple things of life, such as nature, their work, and their families.
On the other hand, it can be quite hard to live without money, so realistically(实际地) speaking, having enough money to meet the daily needs can help a person pay more attention to things that bring joy.
