Money can give you more choices. Those choices will either make you happy or depressed. It's all in the user.

Thats very interesting. Good points.

If you send me all your money you can buy my happiness

people around you give hapiness, not money

unless you want to spend your days fucking hookers and eating alone in expensive restaurants

if you think money buys happiness you surely haven't been around many rich people. the older the money is usually means the more unhappiness and dysfunctions people have. people who were poor and worked and became rich are happier than old money - they have the sense of accomplishment that gives them confidence and pride.

there are happy rich people but definitely not more happy rich people than happy middle class people - i'm leaving out people who are at the poverty/subsistence level - even some of those people are happy but let's face it, being poor usually does mean misery for a big proportion of people in a capitalist developed country.

from my own observations i'd say the happiest group of people I know are middle class.

I've got to knew people that I would without a doubt consider and call POOR that are surely allot more happy than most of those here with money.

I'm kinda sad people do think money is the "magic potion" to everything, then again in this day and age I'm not surprised (even though I'm pretty sure at one time or another they will think otherwise...)

Some of you seem so much out of reality its scary...

money buys shoes and sextoys........ shoes + sextoys= HAPPINESS

money buys conveniance ...

thats what im talking about :thumbsup

:1orglaugh

People create problems for themselves rich or poor.

However I am sure that if a poll was to be done about rich people one would find that the majority of them are quite happy while poor tend to be less happy.

Thats kinda a no brainer.

You are asking thousands of webmasters that are slaves to there computers if money can buy happiness.. >sarcasm< I cant speak for everyone but it dosnt matter how much I make I still work and work there is never enough money but, I have always been a happy person and still have friends from 10 years ago that I am still close with and thats what matters to me is the people I call family. Money is nice but that's not what makes me happy. Money comes and goes, experiances and friends and family are forever..

alladins cave. Subject or object? is your sphincter blurting not knowing wtf i be harping about? arrrgh!

... make things easier and people happier :thumbsup

FALSE

Money gives you the freedom to pursue what makes you happy -- not necessarily "buy it".

At least that's what I've imagined....

I agree, money can buy you alot of things, including comfort, but it can't buy happiness.

Also, although I think money alleviates more problems than it causes, it does create new problems as well. :2 cents:

boobies make me happy

agree!
and, it depends on what you understand under word 'happiness'

Just makes it easier to stay happy.
