Is Money all that matters

This is the most controversial issue and no body is right here. Some people are greed and some people spends a lot. When i reached US and interacted with people, i saw all kinds of people. One thing is sure, the place and culture has nothing to play the way people spend. It all depends on individuals and their environment in which they are breed. When i came to Baltimore, i saw a striking difference of idea. One of my older roomies was greedy in calculation but he never used to held back while doing expenditure. Here when i joined new roomies, i found a different culture. everybody spends their own and cooks their won. there is no concept of unity or common expenditure. Because somebody stays couple of days in a week and somebody stays four days. they never worry regarding what is needed in the room and how to make it more hygienic. One guy always works overtime as he is paid by hours and he is very formal in his approach. When i look at them and compare with me, i can see the difference. The salary difference is visible and the idea of living life is different. The priorities are different. When i started earning, i used not to spend much. I used to know my limit and spend when needed. Then i started opening my hands when i feel frustrated by my limits. Although the salary is less, still you can be happy by organizing your expenditures. I know one thing from two of my old friends, when needed spend but never cross your limits. Because i have seen the priorities are changing rapidly for me. I do not know how but may be i am changing. Sometimes, i thought of jumping company for increase in salary but i could not convince my self of doing that. May be i am afraid of job security and i am too happy with the friends i have got in this company. So i have given the idea of changing the company though i know it will pay more in other place if i jump. May be i inherited this quality from dad, who is my role model and believe in happiness of heart no matter how much money you have. When i see people with more money they are as happy as i am or less. Even people who earn less are more happy. So i have stopped thinking and comparing about money. Sometimes it crosses my mind but it goes away just like darkness of light disappears bu rays of sun. I know one thing money can not give me happiness as i always want my friends and family to be around me. For me they are most important than anybody else.Money matters but there are something which money can not buy and it is the love and affection which are most important.
