Does Matthew McConaughey know something you don’t?

Glitz, glamor, fame, and money is not everything

The Oscar winner for Dallas Buyers Club does not just hang out at glitzy luncheons? Wearing a suit may not be his “preferred” attire.

One of his famous quotes is

“My life is a road, man. I need to keep moving.”

He is super successful and can buy anything he wants to. He can stay anywhere. Then he goes and stays in a trailer park in a cramped Airstream!

Money cannot buy happiness?

I don’t know. Sometimes it feels like it is only money that can buy happiness. Well, it is difficult to live “comfortably” without money. I think that is the rule in most cases. There are exceptions. Probably not many. Do you grow all your food?

The other side of the coin is money alone will not give you happiness. Not peace or even security. It’s not in the ching or the bling. You have to find it in other places. Are peace, security, and happiness a more spiritual nonphysical “thing”, I don’t want to get all airy-fairy on you.

Money is the instrument used correctly that can help you achieve happiness. Also not guaranteed. I hear you money can bring you pretty close to happiness. But it cannot buy happiness…
