Per a research study in the United States, Rubin mentions that 49 percent of people with an income of over $100,000 dollars were very happy, so this is saying that over half of the people are not happy? Well that just proves that money can’t buy happiness.
McKibben states, “There have been steady decreases in the percentage of Americans that say their marriages are happy, that they are satisfied with their jobs, that they find a great deal of pleasure in the place they live” (35 McKibben). This shows that despite all of our material advancements, the United States has not moved up in its satisfaction at equivalent rates. Our goal of acquiring more wealth should not be our main goal. Our main goal should be finding other ways to increase our happiness such as spending time with our families and friends, working fewer hours, and appreciating what we have.

Loneliness caused by materialism can be cured by building bridges to create new relationships.
They also attempted to shape thinking, to make acceptable difference in income that would otherwise be odious”(395). In economic and political fields, people who are in charge take advantage of the authority, in other words, the dominance to consolidate and bolster their superiority. They influence (or manipulate, to some extent) the public’s thoughts and convey the idea that the difference in income is reasonable and justifiable to the public. Both Ho and Stiglitz mention people’s desire to maintain and strengthen the status.
One study revealed that money was an essential need for happiness, but it was not what made the people happy. They established satisfaction in close relationships with loved ones, community work, fulfillment and pride from their work and accomplishments (Diener and Biswas-Diener 162). The highest life satisfaction was found in societies of wealthy nation while the unhappiest nations were the extremely poor ones. When it comes to materialism, it does not matter if someone is rich or poor, all that matters is that “your income is sufficient to your desire,” and that “differences in aspirations lead to very different amounts of happiness” (Diener and Biswas-Diener 170).
Can money bring you happiness: many Americans believe that having lots of money can bring happiness?

Like using Axe body spray really did attract women or eating Snickers truly made one satisfied in seconds? Yet, most of the time the advertisements that seem too good to be true, actually are. In fact, countless of ads are only slightly true and instead filled with many common errors in reasoning, known as logical fallacies, a sneaky marketing technique companies utilize to trick a consumer into giving them their undivided attention and money.
