Simplified Laws Guide to Taxation and Legal Concern Wishing you all a Happy Happiness Day!
Would you agree that a stress-free life, satisfaction in what we do, and peace of mind all lead to a common goal—happiness?
Many of us often hear people say:
“When we had time, we had no money; now we have money, but no time to enjoy!”
We commonly associate stress with work or office life, but is that really the case? While some find work exhausting, there are others who say work gives them satisfaction—they love what they do and thrive on it. For them, it’s not stress, but passion.
Then there’s another group—those who face stress at home due to conflicts, irritation, poor health, or other personal struggles. For them, spending 90+ hours at work might actually feel like an escape rather than a burden.
A recent Indus Valley report mentioned that over 90% of Indians don’t have disposable income. For them, working more or less isn’t a choice—it’s a necessity just to make ends meet.
Yet another group—those repaying home loans, car loans, and other EMIs—are also bound by financial obligations, leaving them with little flexibility in choosing how much to work.
Setting these categories aside, let’s talk about those who work excessively, not out of necessity, but out of an endless chase for wealth. I’ve met individuals who have accumulated significant wealth, yet they scream, stress, and struggle to get more! They forget the end goal—happiness. For such people, we often say:
“They have enough but don’t know how to enjoy life!”
Then, there’s another group—people who have money but don’t know how much is enough. Lacking financial planning, they work endlessly, much like machines—working like donkeys, eating like pigs, and eventually dying without truly living.
On this Happiness Day, here’s my two cents:
If you find yourself trapped in endless stress and mindless work, take a step back. Simple financial planning can help you determine how much is enough and lead to a more meaningful life.
If we all wish to land in the world of happiness (even if 100% happiness is an illusion), let’s follow a simple rule:
Think – Reflect on your financial and life priorities.
Pause – Assess whether you are working for wealth or happiness.
Proceed – Make mindful financial decisions and enjoy life.
Once again, Happy Happiness Day!
