Money doesn't bring me happiness. Although, money can help me financially, it cannot buy happiness. Happiness is an important value in my life since it bring happiness in my life. I can depend on my friends when I needed them. I cannot depend on momey since they cannot help us emotionally, and spiritually. money just help us financially.

Unfortunately, money being medium of exchange is very vital for very existence of life. Particularly so for those who do not have money, who do not have enough money. There is a saying that money is not important in life. I do not agree with this statement. For a person, to have bread, butter and jam, a roof over head, a piece of cloth to cover the body, money is required. For clothes and shelter, one time money for the time being is sufficient, but for quench the hunger, money is required everyday. So one has to work, earn his bread. Money is therefore very much required.

I think money can relieve a few problems and maybe short term ahppiness but I don't think it can bring us long term happiness, happiness I think is on a way bigger scale than that, but I will be honest is helps to have enough to a little .

Hi freeasabee! I am from a country that has so many poor people and money wou;ld surely be a big help for all of us. Money can help put food on the table live comfortable and secured. With money, I can help so many people and put a smile in their hungry faces. I know other people will say that happiness is when you have your family around you, they are healthy and you have love all around you. I agree absolutely with that opinion but you can not feel love at all when your stomach is empty or you see your child dying of hunger. Money to some extent can bring a lot of happiness in this world we are living. Just my thoughts. take care and have a nice day. :)

Money does not by happiness but... money can buy you time which is really what you need to find happiness. Time to explore your ambitions and grow personally. Money can never give you this but it can allow you a more leisurely route to attaining it.

Money does not necessarily bring us happiness, but I think without money adds to unhappiness. Let us be honest, without money problem, we will have one less worry, and therefore be relatively happier and allow us more time to consider other matters.

No money do not make you happier, but it shore make things much easier, if you had some to save for specie ll a cations. Such as Christmas. If your budget goes +/- 0 and you have ptu the money to the bills and for monthly food shopping, medication and other important things you need. It shore would help If you had some to save.

I live in Italy and I haven't seen my sister who since she married lives in USA for over four years. When I have enough money to buy a plane ticket and go and visit her I will be happy. Does that answer?
