Money Doesn't Buy Happiness

Recently, my friend Brigette and I started watching the reality show, The Real Housewives of Orange County. I started watching the show because I am originally from Orange County and the show just looked fun. It isn’t my all time favorite show but it’s one of them. I like the show because some of the families in the shows are somewhat like my family. The show is about a bunch of housewives that live in Orange County, California. They are all “somewhat” of friends. There are five women in their group. Their names are Tamra, Jeana, Gretchen, Lynne, and Vicki. It’s like the MTV series “The Hills” except in an adult world. Women with kids and husbands still the same drama. The three out of the five women do not work. They are the stay-at-home wives. Most of these women have been previously married and divorced. All the women have kids. Jeana and Lynne are the only two who have their real kids with their husbands. Jeana is divorced and has a daughter and two sons. She used to be a model and a Playboy. She is now a realtor.  Lynne used to be a gymnast. She is still happily married with her first husband and they have two daughters. Vicki lives with her second husband, her daughter, and her two sons. She has her own life insurance business. Grethen is engaged to a man who has been married and divorced five times. She also used to work in real estate till she had to quit to take care of her sick fiancé. She has two stepdaughters and two stepsons. And Tamra. She has been married and divorced, and from that marriage has a son. She is now married for the second time and has two daughters and a son. She too worked in the real estate business but traded it all in to be a housewife. You can tell the women are all fake and talk crap behind each other backs. They call themselves “girlfriends” but they are no real “girlfriends.” The show is just really fun to watch and really you can learn from them. Money may buy happiness but it doesn’t buy you any friends and real happiness.
