4. Many people believe that money cannot buy happiness; however, this is misleading, as money can provide security and well-being, which are significant contributors to happiness.

5. There are times when telling someone that "it could be worse" is not the best way to ease their pain or discomfort.

 Even if someone is worse off, it doesn't mean you should minimize someone else's problem.
