does only being rich mean happiness to u........

Once you've achieved life's basic comfort and necessities , more money doesn't necessarily buy more happiness. Money can't buy the sort of happiness you and I are looking for. But that doesn't mean money has no role at all in determining your happiness. It does. Real happiness is a matter of experience and not of speech, not of demonstration. It can be had only by being introvert,cutting ourselves from all the non-self entities and being one with our soul itself.Since the soul is full of happiness, experience of the soul is the experience of happiness. Just as one cannot achieve the soul without experience, in the same manner one cannot get real happiness without the experience of the soul.

Money doesn't by happiness. I once saw a little joke type thing online... I'm sure many people will have also seen it. It was a joke that told that money does not buy happiness and it went on to list other things... at the bottom it said "so give me all your money and i'll be miserable for you"... Well I think that money may bring happiness to those who really need it, but it can also corrupt and tear families apart. I am not saying that this is the case for everyone, but I would like to state that sometimes a rich family is to busy smelling the money to realize they are not spending enough time with their children. They may think their doing for the kids future, but for the kid to have a future they need their help.. Sorry for the babbling, things that make me happy are : My fiance, hanging out with friends...

money adds up to happiness but only being rich will not make you happy. most rich person have friends who only likes them because they are rich. i am married for five years now and we have a son who is two years old. we have financial problems for the prices of comodities are uncontrolably shooting up but we are still happy. we are happy even we have problems financially. i dont want to be rich and not having my family.

I think that happiness is not having to worry about things, this includes money, so being rich would take away the pressure of money worries and this would in turn make me happy, but to be truly happy I would need other things such as thing to occupy my time, feeling accomplished and having friends around me.

happiness is a feeling, it can't be bought or sold, so money can't buy happiness. Small thing in life brings you happiness as you already mentioned, money can give satisfaction and sense of achievement but no way i can buy happiness. So happiness is about discovering and enjoying life, it has nothing to do with money( well actually is is indirectly associated so cannot say it has nothing to do, some people thing their purchasing power is what hapiness is all about).

Wealth is not happiness, it is only part of happiness. Happiness, as a whole, cannot be described for words will fall insufficient. The purest form of happiness is truth.

no its not that. but still i wont deny that i think there should be enough money.actually its not that money can buy everything even happuiness. but from my personal experience, i can say there are somethng taht only money can buy.

If I suddenly became very rich it would not make me happy. It would just mean I can buy anything I want, but I don't get pleasure or happiness from owning things. The things that make me happiest in my life are things which are available to anyone, rich or poor, and have no monetary value. I could enjoy myself more with a lot of money but I would not be a happier person.
