The most happy thing 1

My italki friend wrote an entry about why people try their best so hard to make money. He choose to live in a very poorly house for a while, and he found it didn't make him feel bad living in a poor environment. He found the most happy things are not about money at all. Why do people spend so much of their effort to earn money,to eat in a posh restaurant, to live in a large house and want to drive a luxury car?  I envy him, and at the same time, I feel a little bit ashamed of myself.
As a lot of people do, I love to eat tasty food. A wonderful meal can very easily make me happy, a comfortable home with beautiful and clean sheets and covers on the bed can make me very satisfied and joyful, pretty clothes can make me feel confident, and a bank card with an adequate balance can make me feel safe about my life. All of these are based on money.
If I say these things in my country, there must be a lot of people come out and would judge me very harshly. People will say that girls nowadays are very materialistic. Is that true?
Well, Nathan doesn't think so. We live in our own flat at the moment, which is a reasonable size for the two of us, but sometimes when our friends or parents visit, we need to squeeze for feel a little bit cramped. I can't find a job in this country at the moment, so our budget on everything is very tight at the moment. I need to walk one hour to do the food shopping twice a week every time, because we don't have a car. I bought a trolley card to bring the shopping home in order to save the taxi money on taxis. Because Nathan is working at the moment, so I do all the cooking and cleaning It can be tiring, but I love Nathan's satisfied face when he eats dinner. Our life is not bad, it is simple and happy, but both of us would like to go back to Nathan's parents' house.
Not only us, but all of his and my relatives like their house. We had three big parties in their house this Christmas. Nathan's parents are middle class for Britain. They have a lovely two-story detached house, with gorgeous kitchen, and a huge open living room. Nathan's Dad used to be a chef, so he can cook the most delicious food I have ever eaten. And Nathan's Mum is a very good organizer, so the house is very well arranged and beautiful. Every year, they take us go on holiday in some nice places.
