Since we were kids, we heard phrases like "money isn't everything" or "you can't buy happiness". But we also saw how many people work hard every day to earn more, to improve their lifestyle, or simply to make it to the end of the month without anxiety. So, how much does money influence our happiness?
The truth is that money can improve many aspects of life: it reduces stress for basic needs; it allows access to health, housing, education, and also, to enjoyable moments. Economic stability gives us peace, freedom to make decisions and a space to enjoy without constantly worrying.
But happiness is not only that. A person can have money and feel alone, empty, or without purpose. Emotional health, relationships, a sense of purpose, and quality free time are things money can't guarantee. Also, the rush to have more money can bring anxiety, constant comparison, and a feeling of insufficiency, no matter how much you earn now.
Also, there is another side: idealize poverty as something morally superior or thinking that those who want to earn more money are "materialistic". It is an unfair vision. Seeking a comfortable life should not be a reason for guilt. Maybe what matters is how we use money, and the place it has in our priorities.

Does Money Buy Happiness?
SEver since we were kids, we have heard phrases like "money isn't everything" or "you can't buy happiness".
"Since" used in this context can carry a connotation similar to "porque," because "because" and "since" are sometimes used the same way, but "ever since" tells the reader right away that something has been going on for a long time. The present perfect construction "have heard" shows that a past action continues to impact the present, whereas "heard" suggests something confined to the past.
But we also saw how many people work hard every day to earn more, to improve their lifestyle, or simply to make it to the end of the month without anxiety.
Some discourage beginning with the conjunction "but" like this. "However" or "Nevertheless" (sin embargo) would be more formal ways to achieve the same contrasting effect.
So, how much does money influence our happiness?
The truth is that money can improve many aspects of life: it reduces stress fover basic needs; it and allows access to health, housing, education, and also, to enjoyable moments.
The colon tells the reader that a list is coming, and I see two things on the list:
1. it reduces stress over basic needs ("over" indicates that the cause of people's stress is their difficulty meeting daily needs)
2. it allows access to health, housing, education, and also enjoyable moments.
Since there are only two things in the main list, no comma is needed to separate them (unless you wanted to say "...basic needs, and it allows...")
I removed "to" near the end because the initial "to" still applies. A more formal way of saying it more aligned with the "official" categories of "health, housing, education" could be "leisure activities" instead of "enjoyable moments".
Economic stability gives us peace, freedom to make decisions and a space to enjoy without constantly worrying.
I won't add a correction here, but maybe consider whether the "oxford comma" before the "and" should be in this sentence like it appears to be in the previous one and in (creo) two other sentences in this paragraph. It is not required, but the writer generally sticks to either using it or not using it.
But happiness is not only that.
A person can have money and feel alone, empty, or without purpose.
Emotional health, relationships, a sense of purpose, and quality free time are things money can't guarantee.
Also, the rush to have more money can bring anxiety, constant comparison, and a feeling of insufficiency, no matter how much you earn now.
You could also say "you now earn" or just "you earn".
Also, there is another side: idealizeing poverty as something morally superior or thinking that those who want to earn more money are "materialistic".
Either "to idealize" or "idealizing" would work here, but "idealize" sounds like a command or like it should have something before it (for example, "some people idealize..."). Since you say "thinking," then "idealizing" matches it.
It is an unfair vision.
Seeking a comfortable life should not be a reason for guilt.
Maybe what matters is how we use money, and the place it has in our priorities.
Unless the comma was only added for emphasis or literary style, it is not required here.

Nice job writing about a perennial topic. Errors were minor. You are using different types of sentences well. It seems like you either just like writing lists/series with commas or wanted to practice with that skill. If you care for poetry, there is a poem called "Richard Cory" about this topic, but it is kind of violent and mentions self-harm. I think that people can be happy whether rich or poor, but I also think that the richest people have a lot to do with why it is harder for regular people to meet their basic needs (due to controlling the government and taking advantage of their positions).

Very well written!! I agree, if the person has good priorities, they shouldn't be made to feel guilty for wanting financial stability or abundance. Good job, keep going!
