In general, there must be a variety of ways to live a life in this world. But it may controversy that which way of living a life is better be controversial which way to live is best. Some say making large amounts of money is the symbol of a successful life, while others would consider that to content filling their lives with satisfaction is more desirable. In my opinion, living a life with satisfaction is much comfort more comfortable than having large amounts of money for several reasons.

Firstly, I think the topic of how to live a life better is closely related to the word "happiness". In fact, happiness is probably the hardest word to be defined define shortly quickly and in a simple way. However, the most memorable and meaningful thing in one's life will definitely be something not associated with money. For example, when people are asked a question that about what events or things that they would will remember the most before they die, there would be no person will would answer that they remember the time when they possessed large amounts of money or a great fortune that they earned in their lives. Rather, people would reply that they will remember the valuable time such as when they spent a vacation with their family. Only a person who can cherish the present and find happiness from small things knows the true meaning of happiness.

Moreover, compared to the people who are capable of satisfying their lives, people who have large amounts of money will not don't feel so secure and comfortable. It is common that most wealthy people are afraid of being deprived of their possessions and have more chances opportunities to get into troubles such as an inheritance issues. We see that families of a rich person often argue about how to distribute the money after the person die and sometimes they sue against each other, as destroying their family relationship. On the contrary, the people who know how to be thankful to for their lives do not worry about these kind of issues and will live their lives without any burden, trouble and stress. (Note: You say "do not" a lot -- it is more natural in English to use the contraction "don't", even though both are technically correct)

For the reasons I mentioned above, I strongly believe that the people who are satisfied to earning a comfortable living can live better than those who make large amounts of money. We should know that money cannot explain or solve all the problems in this world rather, it causes more troubles.
