Write a journal entry about something money couldn’t buy.

Dear Diary,
I wonder why money doesn’t give all the happiness a person needs. There
are so many people who are rich and have a good lifestyle but are not yet
happy with life. No matter how much money you have, it still can’t cure
diseases which have no treatment. No matter how much money you pay you
are still not going to get cured if there is no solution for it. So, this means
that there is something more important than money and that’s health. That’s
why we all have heard a famous quote saying, “Health is wealth” meaning
that if you don’t have a healthy lifestyle, you don’t have anything including
wealth.
Another thing money can’t buy is time. Just imagine we are getting late for
school and we have no other option left, even though we have money we
can’t pay the clock to go back to the past so no matter how much money we
have, we just can’t make the time go back even by paying a trillion dollars.
This is how much more important time is than money.
The most important of all things that money can’t buy us is love. You can
never pay your parents to tell them to give you unconditional love. No one
can do that because love is something which comes in your heart from
yourself and not by someone paying you so that you can love them.
From all of these statements above, we can say that being successful is
always really good and everyone should aim for a higher level in life but
having money doesn’t mean that it can buy us everything, there are so many
things which money can’t buy us. That’s why there are so many people who
are really rich but are just not happy with life because after having so much
money they realise now that all their life they were just seeing how to get
more money and they didn’t realise that health, time and love is something
way more important than having money.
In Conclusion we can say that success doesn’t come from money, like in
order to gain success in life we need to stay healthy, eat healthy, exercise
daily and make sure we always have a timetable planned to sort out our time
and make it as useful as possible so that we do not regret later to wish to get
this time back.
So I believe that money can buy you any car, any house and give you the
best lifestyle you would ever want but it just can’t buy you love nor save
your time or even cure you from a disease which doesn’t have a solution. I
certainly believe that if you have a healthy lifestyle, have unconditional love,

have money and are rich, you indeed have reached the true levels of
success.
