This discussion is in connection with the discussions that i have participated, Can Money buy Everything, as in everything? On my own opinion you can buy some but not everthing but these are just all temporary, you can buy temporary things that will makes you happy temporarilly but will not last long, you can buy love but not real or true love,you cannot buy peace of mind, true happiness, true love and health... How about you myu dear friends waht is you opinion..

Money can't buy me LOVE. But seriously, money can make you happy in some way by making you afford travels, materials things and services that can be bought by money. But like what others have said, for how long can it keep you satisfied? There are other things that money can't buy such as love, contentment and respect which can give you real satisfaction. I still believe that the best things in life is free.

you're right that you can buy things that makes you happy but how long this happiness or enjoyment takes? after doing it is there any assurance that you'll still feel happy? this things are just temporary and will not last long.

Money can buy materialistic things but that is all it can buy . Like you said it will never buy true love , happiness or health . Money is always nice to have and most figure if they had more money they would be happier but the truth is there are just as many people with money and not happy as those who don't have it . The difference is that when we don't have money we feel that if we just had more it would make our lives so much better but once you pay your bills and buy what you want , what can you really do with the rest of the money . Like anything else money is only another thing that we feel we need and sometimes no matter how much we have it never seems enough . If we could learn to spend more time thankful for what we had each day and less time worrying about more money we would be a whole lot happier :)

Money cannot buy happiness, family connections, love, or laughter. It's a sad mistake when people attempt to purchase these nontangibles with cold hard cash. He or she will end up alone, depressed amidst a lot of toys and not a few gold diggers hanging on. * It is important that one has enough food and good shelter. Money is important for that. It is important for meeting the physical needs to have sufficient money. That's the way the world is run right now.

Hello,Cecel! You know money is the root of all evils.So how can you expect that it will fetch you good in life?It can bring for us material happiness which is transitory.It can not bring in peace in life.It can not bring good health rather cause damage to our health in many ways.So money can not buy anything for us permanently.thanx.

you're absolutely right but let me give you a difference about money the is root of all evil, it's not, you can use money in good way and money can be a good servant but Love of money is the root of all evil, when you love money more than anything or anybody it will cause evit doings such as betrayal, killings and etc..

According to the knowledge, money can buy anything. We can see that many people betray their friend because money and love also. Someone who fall in love his some girl and the man help the girl parents paying the bill of hospital because the girl parents got car accident. So it can be say that money can buy anything. In real life, Money can buy anything, because every people has their own mind and loyalty. So for loyalty and true happiness can be buy with money. So my conclusion is money can buy anything base with this real life. Keep post Happy myLotting...

How about peace of mind can money buy peace of mind? there are one parable in the bible it is about the rich man who sleep in a soft and comfortable bed and man who live in a simple life and sleep in a plain and hard wood bed, the rich man can't sleep though he want to sleep but he have no peace of mind and everything bags in his mind while the other man living in a simple life did have a very calm and deep sleep, this just shows us that even you have alot of money you can't buy peace of mind and you can't pay anybody to give you a good sleep...

Yeah you're right if you're talking about True love and True friendship... but you can buy somebody who will be you're friend but when there's no money involve now they will leave you, there are people who want to stick and hang with rich people but when they became broke one by one that friends that he/she have will start leaving him/her...

of course not. Alot of people who have money can't really be happy. With money you always have to worry if someone is your friend b/c of how your are as a person or just for your money the same goes with a relationship. Who is really happy with no love or true friendship?

it can, but it doesnt necessarily make you happier, just materialistically fulfilled but still emptiness inside that something is missing in your life, and you still feel that void no matter what you buy...

just look at all those people who cant stop doing plastic surgeries. they are never satisfied with their new look, until they all the sudden turn into freaks or messed up. when all along, they looked ok without any of it, just felt void and emptiness about something wrong with them inside that they didnt get help for.

Money is great but it can't buy you happiness or peace of mind. I may be broke right now, but I have two great kids, a wonderful guy in my life and a more peaceful life. Even if I had a lot of money, I know I could never buy love or true happiness.

This writing relates to the money power. If you have enough money you can buy material things in this world but eternal satisfaction can not be bought with the money. Respect,emotions, love, affections and peace of mind can not be bought with money. So money is not every thing in life. You can buy any thing but lovely and livable life can not be bought it is precious and god gift.

I agree with you.We can buy anything we want materially with money but not happiness.Material things makes us happy but won't last long.You are exactly right when you say its just temporary.We can never buy real happiness because it comes from within our heart and our true family can give us that.My family makes me happy and its priceless.

well... as my own opinion, money can buy lots of things but not everything... As i read a artical b4, they said, money can buy a house but not a home... money can buy all the medicial, health care product, organic food but not healt.... money can buy things but not happiness.... money can buy rings but not true love.... so, for my opinion, money can't buy everthings....

No money cannot buy EVERYTHING. I think sometimes people think money is happiness but in my case I dont have alot of money and I am happy.i didnt grow up with a ton of extras and I turned out just find. TO be honest I dont even want a ton of money I just want to be able to live comfortable. To not have to wory bout the bills and know that they will get paid. Honestly even if I have millions of dollars I wouldnt spend it on cars or clothes or a huge house cause I dont need those things yea I would save form my sons education and my retirement but I would also give alot back to the people that helped me out over the years and to charities that i believe in. Money I think can bring alot of false happiness for awhile I think everyone is happy when they have money but when they see that it gets in the way and somtimes cuts other people off from them then they see that what they are doing with it is hurting themselves. You cant buy love it will only be for a season. You need someone to love you for you not for what you can buy for them and thats what happens most of the time when the money is gone so are they. but in the end no you cannot buy everything

yes money cant buy true love,but with money you can gain the love that you want.let me put like this,is it just enough for a couple to have their love to support their life and children.in real world you need money,if you have money everything would be smooth.but without money,even true love cant separte.i see this kind of situation many times.just put it like this,you need money,and love to achieve happiness.

No, money cannot buy everything. IF it could then why are all of these reich people so miserable? Celebrities, althetes, big copr. professionals etc... As you said money cannot buy true love, peace of mind or true happiness. Caes in point: IF only I had more money I wouldn't have to worry about paying bills - get's a better job! What will I do if I lose my job - worry! Wins lottery - so many people are asking me for this and that, how do Iknow who my true frineds are? Now I have to hire an accountant and I've bought a bigger house and another car and a yacht, what if the money runs out? Peace of mind gone! Stress level higher, NO...money cannot buy everything.

[i]Hello cecelgay, I do think money can buy everything now. You name it money can buy it. We now have the technology to be what we want to be. People can be bought. With the use of technology you can manipulate people, make your place secure, make you sleep soundly, etc. So I guess money can buy anything as long as you have a limitless amount of it. Sky is the limit as the saying goes. Regards.[/i]

Hey cecelgay, you are right money can't by love, health, peace or true happiness. But, it can make you happier and more comfortable and give you peace of mind. It can help with all these things. If you have money it will help you in all parts of your life by enhancing everything that you do. It will help you worry less so that will help with stress which in turn helps your health. If you have money it will help you buy things that will make you happier. As for love, that is only something that comes from within and no amount of money can buy love!

If you have enourmous amount of money you can by 90% of physical things in the world. Those things would bring you some of the intangible happy feelings for you like happiness, glory and social state. But satisfaction, can never be bought. We do everything to satisfy ourself. Just because we have money we won't be satisfied. So satisfaction cannot be bought.

If you are talking about things, then I think it can. But if your talking about happiness or faith or health then no. Those you have to get by other means.
