Does money genuinely make you happy?
Well, does it?
There is a scene in the movie Blow, when Ray Liota is talking to his boy: "Sometimes you're flush, and sometimes you're bust...when you are up, it is never as good as it seems and when you are down you never feel like you are you're gonna be up again......BUT LIFE GOES ON!!!" Would you say you share a similar perspective concerning money? |

Most peoples' biggest stress in life is paying bills, credit cards, insurance, etc. If you have enough money where these things are not a worry to you, then that relieves a huge amount of stress and worry from your life.
Less stress = more happy. |

I would definitely agree, but what if you have a large disposble income, do you think that brings happiness or is money just a game at that point?

Yes. Money can make you happy.
But when you see so many fucked in the head celebs with all their millions, it makes you wonder... |

money cannot buy happiness but it can payoff unhappiness.
Off the top of my head I can think of a hundred things that suck about being poor and none in regards to having money. |

Absolutely right. If you make money with doing something that you love, it can be the total happiness...
Unless you like to do something else that you hate, just to appreciate the things that you love to do much more... |

I think it depends on the person.
You can have a young executive who's worked his ass up, thrashing everyone in their path, to be wealthy, only to end up with a divorce or two, maybe a few children, and a huge bank account, but nothing to show for it except a nice car and house. Then you can have the young executive who's worked his up up, thrashed around, got wealthy, got older and realized money wasn't everything. Then started to give some back to the world. Then you have the poor guy, with a few kids, working to bloody knuckles washing dishes who comes home to what he thinks is a heaven of a family with a fat wife, a couple of crying children and a Hungry Man micro meal on the table for dinner. All perspective. For me... for now, I just want the padding to feel safe as the wife and I think about children and keeping them safe. *shrug*

Of course money buys happiness, at least it does for ME, because I'm a very materialistic, shallow and superficial person. Other people might care more about things like family, love, and all that stuff, but for me I really like money.
People who have millions but still are unhappy like Britney are fucken TOOLS. Try buying clothes at Walmart and eating at McDonalds and drive a pinto and see how fucken happy you are. Having money is power and that's the ultimate high. The more I make the happier I become. |

If you make more money it also makes you more confident, more confidence to face the world, talk to people, not so self-conscious and uncomfortable in your own skin. It makes you feel important, and other people respect you more. Fuck it, I'll be honest, other people's opinions are important to me, I care about what others think.
If you have more money you can also improve your looks, anything that you weren't born with you can buy. Hollywood stars didn't wake up looking like that, it takes a lot of money in order to look so "naturally good". The better you look, again the more confidence you have, and it makes life more easier and pleasant. |

Up to a certain point money means happiness. If I had 1 billion or 10 billion I dont really think would matter much, If I make $1k per month or $10k per month does a huge difference.

Every person in this world has different values and morals. Because you might believe in something doesn't mean that I do.
I am not close to my family so there's nothing lost there. Love is never conditional because the other person can always cheat on you or leave you. If you have money you will always have security and you will always be able to take care of yourself. I have been broke, and I have had more than enough money. From my experience it is much better when you have money. Life is very miserable when you are broke. At least it was for me, I was very depressed. I am not being sarcastic at all. Everyone is different. I also had a bad childhood and I think part of it had to do with the fact that we didn't have money. It sucks when you get picked on in school because you didn't have the right clothes to wear. I would never EVER want to be broke again. |

Very true, 10k per month versus 1k a month makes a HUGE difference. 80 mil or 100 mil it doesn't matter....

That's one of the few honest responses I've seen.

I think being poor for a long time also damages your health and makes you age more, mainly due to the constant stress and not being able to afford good health care, going to the doctors etc I know rich people have stress too but I think the stress of being poor is more severe because it is constant, and it's very different when you have stress from having too much money versus worrying whether you can pay the rent or else go homeless... The stress from being poor is of a different magnitude and more horrible... |

You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world

The reason why I started this thread is because I struggle with money tremendously. I am 22 yrs old and I see the importance of making right decisions so ten years down the road I can cash in on my hard work. I am also a college student and I consider myself not a bad looking guy, im driven, and pretty intelligent(i am honestly really modest in person, but im trying to make a point)......you would think that would be a formula to getting women. well.....I am sadly mistaken, its not enough. I love women, and ill do just about anything to have mutliple partners, within reason.

Making money after working hard on something ... yes
Because it's an accomplishement and sometimes success. But I honestly don't enjoy material stuff that much unless it's really usefull or for entraintement purposes... I couldn't care less about living in a 15 bedroom house. |

Another thing, I dont want you to think i'm bashing rich guys or stereotyping, because that would be wrong. . I dont know there path's to success. For all i know they stuggled just like im stuggling now......I am not being impartial towards the wealthy is what i'm trying to say. I am not jelous either, but it sucks that society is based around class and financial status. I would hope that I wouldnt get bashed if someday I became wealthy.

I don't need a man with money, I make my own. I make more than the average guy in this country anyways. I don't go for guys with $$$ because it's my theory that guys with more money are MORE likely to cheat, and usually are able to attract more females. I like guys with LESS money because I think they are more LIKELY to be faithful. Men with money have too much entitlement and feel like they deserve tons of women for their success. |
