Fact: you can have a salary of 40,000 rubles and be happy. And you can have a salary of 1,000,000 rubles and not be. That is, happiness does not depend directly on the amount of money.

Free cheese only in the mousetrap. So, money is not the main thing for a person, if he already has it and in sufficient quantity not to think about it, but to do his favorite thing
