Has money made you happier???
 

I am depressed today. it is cold here, and I want to be somewhere else. The cool thing is I can be somewhere else very soon! So in that sense money is very cool but am I happier??? not today.

congrat for your 3000 post!:thumbsup

yes

yes. financial freedom is the only way you can survive these days.

In some ways yes. most ways yes. :)

ok, it has been a while since I was poor. i was broke recently but there is a real difference. So extra cash is very cool.

not really.

Money security is excelllent , but to be rael happy have to a balance between priorities, responsabilities and money

money can't make you happy. only you can make you happy.

Money doesn't buy happiness but it sure does FACILITATE IT.

you can't buy whatever you want. Sky is the limit :winkwink:

money is our best friend this days

Money gets you security and freedom.
Those can be ingredients to happiness.

Work like you don't need the money.


will make your day worth while

having money makes me happy but having the LACK of the money that I need to survive makes me sad. so its always good to have money

Yes. Well...money + free time

Money by itself has not made me happy, the time it affords does.

Money can't buy you happiness...BUT...you CAN buy a boat and park RIGHT next to it!

money will buy me happieness till i've paid off all my bills, and im living securely without any financial worries

I believe money buys almost everything :(

Happier...not necessarily...BUT easier...YES definitely!

nope

MONEY is very important these days and i can say that it's part of everyone's happiness cause you can't survive in this life without it.

money is the only thing that makes me happy :warning

of course, money makes me happy.
money can buy ANYTHING, even love.

ive been happy before i had money :thumbsup

you cant buy love.... she loves your money but not you lol

Money will never make you happerier, the only thing is that when you have a great deal of money you get a sense of security in you which releaves stresses of having to worry about everyday issues related to managing your finaces.

Thats what i think.

Money is nice. But it sure isnt everything

ahaha

lol

I was always rich. Even when I was broke i had a 'rich heart'. Now I do what I want. Soon my women won't have to work anymore and that will make me really happy

it made me more calm about things and on the other hand more stressed about other things overall ill take money over no money

yes :thumbsup

In the short term, sure money can make you "happy." It can alleviate stress, enable you to do and see things etc. But in the long term, money isn't the answer to everything. It's a temporary high, the equivalent of eating a candy bar or something. It doesn't solve everything.

I've been rich and I've been poor and all I can say is, money is not the answer. In fact, it usually makes you even more miserable eventually. When you have money, you just have different types of problems than you would have without money.

Money really is the root of all evil. It tears families apart, turns friends against each other, makes people act out of character... it's insane what money does to people. Humans are strange creatures... some of us spend all our lives trying to attain "platinum status" and for what? It's all temporary. Life is temporary. You think you own a house or a car? Wrong. You're just utilizing it until you die. You own nothing, no matter how hard anyone tries to convince you otherwise. It's all an illusion.

Would you be less sad/depressed if you hadnt the money?? i guess not so i pick "the lots of money" option!

No. I was happy when I had no money, and am miserable now that I have money.

I wouldnt give mine up (money that is) but honestly I'm no more happy then when I was living paycheck to paycheck.

HELL YES!!!

You don't see too many happy homeless people now do you?

Give it away then:2 cents:

Donate it all.

im starting to make more and more and i havent been very wealthy ever in the past but i am getting there and it is pretty exciting.

Don't know...never had them as much as i wanted or needed:)

Nope, it doesn't. But I love the feel of security. I'm not a big spender at all (what does a man need?) but I love having alot of money to back me up if things go wrong.

Yep yep! It certainly makes life easier....therefore it's easier to be happy! :Graucho

That's a big truth in that. Money is only a frame of mind. If you have a rich mind, you'll always will be rich, even if you have no money. Very true.... I've lost bigtime in the past and still, I feeled much richer than some of the people with more money in the bank.

it's all about the balance

while money can't buy happiness, it makes misery a lot more pleasant, and at least you don't worry about paying your bills, or feeding your family...

You have to be willing to move to a place you can afford or you will never get ahead...

Yes, this is the most important thing.
