I think Fuck Yea having a shit load of cash would make a whole lot of my worries go down the drain, but then again, having a lot (and Im talkiing like 100's of millions) of money could present new problems. What do you think?

KingAsher · 11-16-2004, 01:12 PM

And if so How much would it take for you to be happy/conent forever?

It really depends. I know a few people who have tons of cash but little happiness. On the other hand I know others who literally live from paycheck to paycheck and are the happiest people I've ever seen. So I guess it really depends.

material happiness yes.. but emotional and spirtual happines no.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but is sure can buy the things that make you happy!

I remember reading somewhere about a study a couple years back that found that people who made below $50k USD / year (and living in the US) could see definite improvements in their overall 'emotional well being' by increasing their income. But after $50k the effect disappears and people no longer benefit, emotionally, from having more money.

I'm sure since then inflation and social issues will have most definitely caused the $50k mark to rise.

Edit: my general opinion is that money can not buy happiness, but a lack of money can certainly contribute to unhappiness.

Money can't buy complete happines,but at least they are big part of it

Money is a TOOL and not a way of life.

mrthumbs · 11-16-2004, 02:55 PM

money can buy you the time and space and tools to gain emotional and spiritual happiness.

So money doesnt make you happy but it sure helps ;)

Having a lot of money is a good platform for happiness, but there's more to it than just the cash.

messiah1 · 11-16-2004, 03:40 PM

Yeah in the short run but in the long run no not really.

axelcat · 11-16-2004, 03:53 PM

money solves a lot of problems but may cause a lot of new problems so either way you are still fucked

Having money means you have more time (and food) to consider such lofty questions as "Can money buy happiness?"
