Only Need 1 Million Dollars

The Price of Happiness

By Shanon Angermeyer NormanPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Today, some people think one million dollars isn't that much.

I think they are crazy, but they think I am, so I guess that's fair.

All I need is one million dollars.

Then I'd never have to worry about money again.

All the pain, stress, worries, and hard work would finally be over.

I could finally live, breath, enjoy my life.

Just one million dollars. That's all it would take.

100 k pays off all debts.

100 k gets me a permanent home and a nice car.

100 k allows me to shop for exactly what I want.

The remaining 700,000 would last me until my 70th birthday

at a yearly salary of $45,000 which is more than I've ever gotten in my 53 years of slavery.

Just one million dollars.

That's the price of happiness.
