Money. Does it buy happiness? Your thoughts ...
 

The more I have the happier I am. You?

Plain and simple answer..."Yes"

Nothing like rhetorical questions. :)

It DOES make paying the bills a hell of a lot easier!! Which in turn can make one very happy not to worry about that crap! :)

It can't buy everything.... but most of it :)

Not in my experience. People are happy or unhappy types. Those who are happy will be happy if they are getting by or if they are rich. Those who are unhappy will be unhappy no matter how many millions they earn - several in this industry are perfect examples ;)

Being "poor" is another story. Worrying about not being able to feed your children or keep a roof over your head will make the happiest person unhappy.

it buys convenience

Money does not buy happiness, It gives you less stress on your mind regarding bills and stuff, so you can go out and do cool stuff!

ACTUALLY IT DOES MAKE YOU HAPPY!

But I have none....so!

Yes. I am always happy when I can buy what I want!!

Money can't buy happiness as happiness is an emotional state of being. Being happy is up to you yet when you're happy and you have FUCKLOADS OF CASH it makes being happy more stable.

Happy leads to Money which leads to more Happy etc.etc.etc.

its fun to swipe with know planning

Oh fuck you for making so much sense! :)

hell yeah it does

happiness is a relative term. a single moment can decide happiness.

It definitely buys things that can make you happy. If you are a balanced person I think it buys you peace of mind...

You are what you are no matter the cashflow. Look at lottery winners.

I buy shoes when I am depressed.

Seems to work for me.

Pussy gives me happiness, money is the best way to attract the pussy.So money helps to make happy for me.If anyone feel money does not bring happiness send your fucking money to me or who feels money bring happiness.

90% of the time, yep.

10% of the time when you have ill-health that no amount of money will improve, relationship problems, grief over the death of loved ones, then no amount of money will help.

Makes me happy.

From Boiler Room.

Ben Affleck as Jim Young: They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the fucking smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby.

Send me yours...I'm willing to put the theory to a practical test
:winkwink:

Doesn't buy happiness, but it sure makes life easier! :thumbsup

mo money, mo problems.

yes it does help when it comes to material things but it doens't make me any happier as a whole. :)

No, but the money helps.

well if it keeps the bill collectors off my ass ............that makes me Happy :winkwink: ..... So I suppose it does :1orglaugh

to me it eases stress of paying bills and makes my life easier that way, buying this i want when i want them helps but all in all i am happy with my life and money or not i am happy, however i do like being able to pay my bills and buy some things when i want or need them

Money can buy anything.

Money does buy me happiness :pimp

It doesn´t buy hapiness for me but it helps once in a while :winkwink:

Well, I'd rather be rich than poor. If only for financial reasons.. :1orglaugh!

You should be happy with or without money.

Money just buys you freedom from the grind of paying your bills and gives you more choices for what you can do with your life everyday.

More money brings way more responsibilies that many people aren't able to handle well as they get wealthier, which is why you see many new millionaires get fucked up upstairs and in their decisions.

Money gets you many women just looking for money which isn't fun either. Same with friends just there for all the fun they get off your dime.

A lot of snakes also who will try to lift your money.

The secret to staying wealthy and happy with that wealth is to act and live like you're not. Once you master this you can stay low key and be much happier.

of course, money gets you fast cars, big houses, and women

Its obvious most of you have never had any significant amount of money. People constantly try to take advantage of you; friends and family you've known for years become resentful; and you're never quite sure what a womans true intentions are. So then you start surrounding yourself with people in the same financial status as you only to find they don't own money, the money owns them. It becomes quite a lonely existence.

Not so much, it buys happiness is spurts but you'll constantly need a new toy, like a new car, better house, more travelling, etc. etc. They all come in spurts.

I have not figured it out yet.
I can always get what I want within reason.

I know at the end of the day money is of no consequence, it is not comparable to creating things for happiness. Creating things is what makes me happy. Whether the money was present or was not.

Money has made it easier to get from point A to Point B in creative efforts for equipment,or hardware no doubts but the mind set remains the same. Achieve create and do things and, not dwell, spend and try to satisfy a lousy urge to look great in the eyes of others.

I just like to keep it real and in perspective.
I could have had a cell phone years ago and just recently I got a cell phone, only on the basis that it has become necessary since i am out of office alot more these days.

Lack of it can sure as hell destroy it.

money buys security which will make you feel better, people who are less stressed are generally happier but it can also be very stressful trying to keep that level. do you get sad when you see your income dropping? personally i wasn't that happy when i was making the most money. my sex life sucked and i just worked all the time trying to keep that level of traffic/income. now i don't make as much but have more fun. there is more to life than money and work.

Yes of course. You know how much ass you get when you live on a 100ft yacht.
cmon i thought everyone rich was happy.riiiiigggghhhhtttt

Absolutely... Why act like you have money? It just makes you a target!

Hell, I still drive a 1995 Nissan Altima, but could afford any car...

There are over 9 Million Millionares in the United States.

You never know when you are talking to a Millionare...
Judging a book by it's cover simply makes you a fool.

Most of the larger adult program owners are Millionares, and yet they are some of the most approachable people around. This is one of the things that is cool about our biz...

i already have the man of my dreams and pretty good living lifestyle now, but more money would solve all of our problems right now. BUT you know what they say, mo' money-mo' problems. heh.

It allows you the freedom to find happiness but in and of itself it is not happiness.

However, it is one of the MAIN ingredients to HAPPINESS SOUP!

:thumbsup :thumbsup

KRL, you said everything I wanted to say, only better. Rigth on! :thumbsup

Sadly this is almost an absolute truth in life. I found that out when I filed bankrupcy, it was not the filing of bankrupcy that sucked it was everything that lead up to it and climbing out of it that sucked beyond belief.

:/

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is pretty 'right on'

I think only love can make you happy. A happy heart goes a long way.

fucking right, money is the key to happiness!

I think that YES. those that says that happyness cant be buyed are dump... with cash you can do things and you dont have to worry about lots of things... and what make you happy? To do fun things and dont have to worry about things...

Take Care,
Johnny

Yes it does!
