      no - it would probably turn an interesting discussion into a slanging match but I do find it interesting that he hasn't appeared in here yet

        Now... on to the most important question/statement of this thread:

        If you wanted to, could you go to the bank ask them to rope off a 10x10 area for you for 20 minutes so that you can spell out....

        "MONEY = HAPINESS"

        ...using ten million dollars worth of 100 bills so that you can take a picture?

        Just tell them if they don't let you do it, then you need to pull the money and take it to a bank that better understands your needs.

          Maybe a personality thing, maybe situational.
          But if you're happy you're not gonna worry about money.

            and just to echo some others in this thread: relationships become much more complicated with the addition of money, in my experience.

            relationships were easy before money ;)

              But with money, you have the option to pretend as if you have none... so you can have this "easier" type of relationship whenever you want, while still having the security in the back of your mind that your a multi millionaire

              Without money... you just have to roll with the punches and take what life gives you.

                which kind of sum you want to take me back while I was young ?
                I guess it's irrelevant.
                Happiness ? Is it relly exist ?

                  you are smoking some serious crack if you believe that.

                  common law relations or marriage (here in Canada) = 50%. honey, i have no money, but lets sign a pre-nump for fun

                      beef is when you need two gats to go to sleep
                      beef is when your moms ain't safe up in the streets
                      beef is when you roll no less than thirty deep
                      beef is when you make your enemies start your jeep

                        Same here, but I could never live with someone long enough for common law to kick in -- and I'll never marry again... what a mess that is.

                        "Do you goBigtime, agree to have sex only on evenings when the moon is full during the window of 9-11pm -- and only if you plan to stay in bed and pretend like you're not an insomniac afterwards?" Um.. no. I don't.

                                                            those who feel the simple equation money=happiness, haven't got a clue in my opinion, and likely have never been there. what do you think?
                                                            I agree. It's great to have money, but without someone to help spend it it's just not the same.

Money only enhances happiness by giving you the freedom to further explore and share it, with out the happiness to begin with, money only creates a temporary delusion.

                                                                    This is where my next million is coming from!

                                                                                        Etc.

Even in Thailand with clothing 20% of the price it is here she was still debating whether to get the black or the white top, me I just bought one in every colour.

Although expressing themselves in slightly different ways, these gentlemen maintain that the absence of money may make people unhappy, but once people have enough for their basic needs, it isn't even a motivating factor, let alone a cause of happiness.

                                                                                            You don't need to be an employer for very long before you recognize the truth of their claims. A pay rise will put a smile on someone's face, but more for the recognition it is seen to represent than for its own sake.

                                                                                            As you make more money, the goalposts move: the material things that give us the most pleasure are those we can afford only occasionally. We dream about things that are out of reach. With wealth, we worry about different things, but we don't worry less or about fewer things. And although it is a cliché, it is still true that many of life's greatest pleasures have nothing to do with money at all.

                                                                                            Would I rather have money than not? Of course. But the main reason is social conditioning. Money suggests success and its absence, failure.

Most people I know with money are very impatient and demanding. The more they have, the more they go in that direction and it tends to ruin relationships.

                                                                                                      I guess you need to expand on which level of happiness.

                                                                                                      It does make most people happy in the respect of more freedom, fun stuff and choices. But beyond that, its questionable if it makes a big difference or like I said prior, makes your relationships even harder.
