Bo Derek once said, “Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.” While some people don’t agree that materialistic things could be a key to ultimate happiness, I personally feel that without the joy of buying new things, life would be as boring as a colorless sea without waves.
