Money , happiness and relationships

It's a debating topic. Money is essential for the fulfillment of our desires. But its not necessary that we can get happiness and create good bonds between our relations with money.  It can be  challenging to maintain peace in a relationship, with money being a deciding factor.  However  beyond a certain point, the increase in the finances brings happiness but diminishes the relationships due to the egoistic behaviour. It's rightly said that once basic needs met, the bond between money and happiness becomes weaker. 

Most importantly, Earlier only man was a sole breadwinner . But now a days both men and women contributes equally. The problem arises when incomes become constant and expenses become beyond the expectations and a point comes where they both become helpless to handle the burden and their relationship suffers. It creates differences in them. Their happiness get lost. 

It's not in the case of couples. It's happening everywhere in every relationship. If you have sound finances you are surrounded with cluster of friends . If any case you have lack of money no relationship, no happiness . 

In the nutshell I end up with the lines that while money can  significantly contribute to happiness by ensuring basic needs and providing security, it cannot guarantee long term contentment.  True happiness comes from beautiful relationships and personal fulfilment.  Hence money can buy comfort but not happiness and long lasting relationships.
