In my opinion, money takes a large part of happiness. There is a Chinese saying: money can't buy everything, but without money, you couldn't buy anything. It is true that money can't buy love, health, friends and family, but it influence them a lot. If one doesn't have money, his lover may hold on in the beginning, but when the life is full of pressure, it is hard to hold on for the whole life if there is any lure.

I think that to some money is one source of happiness but not likely the best source of happiness for me. You should have love from your family and partners and friends as well. You should be healthy and living a good life. You should have peace with in yourself and contentment's well to be happy. Money is just one of the ingredients. I know that most of us nowadays are really in desperate needs for money and it is something which don't come by easily and you work hard to get it. But then if you don't have money even if you have all these you can never be happy.

well, i am one of those people who are the so-called the "can't-afford" ones, but i'm happy indeed. though i can't buy the things that i want nor can't i have the things that i desire, my JESUS satisfy the needs of my life. happiness does matter between contentment and satisfaction. even if you have all the riches of the earth yet still not contented with the things that you have, you'll never feel the real meaning of happiness. happiness could only be felt if we will only learn how to appreciate things in our life. whether it's the people around us or the materials that we possess.

Money is important and powerful... you can buy all the material things that you want but if you'll look at those people whom you think has all the money to buy almost everything in life... you'll see that there's always something in them that is missing... and that is real happiness... yes, they can be happy because they're wealthy but that's only for a while... real happiness comes from the people around you... your family, friends...

Only minor happiness. And when I say minor, I mean the kind of happiness that does not totally reach the deepest part of your heart. Yeah we can have what we want if we have a lot of it, but we cannot buy thoughtful things that can really make us happy. Come to think of that we cannot buy a peaceful life, a happy family, Good friends, beautiful nature. There are lot of things money can't buy. Things that really make us happy, inside and out!

From my standpoint, money is not the source of happiness, though it may be true to some people who give money the most emphasis. Happiness covers a wide aspects, ranging from health, friends, love to family, which cannot be valued by money. Despite this, money is an inevitable part of our life. None of us can do without it. The most direct purpose of our working every day is to make money to support ourselves. But the significant thing is we should adopt a wise attitude toward money and never let it control our life.

I really don't think so. I don't think that happiness is something that you can buy. However, I do think that happiness is something that you create or acquire for yourself. Personally, I really don't think that money is a source of happiness. There are many sources of happiness, but money isn't one of them, in my opinion.

Money is a necessity in life. Without it, life can become difficult, as in this world it is hard to function without money. But we just need enough of it to care for our needs. Having said that, it has its limitations. In some situations it is actually useless. The best source of happiness I have found is our relationship with our Creator. Unlike money, our relationship with God has no limitations. He can help us care for all our needs. He can help us with our present life and our future life, even everlasting life. He knows what makes us happy and He is happy to furnish it. He is the happy God and the source of happiness.

Yes, there are many forms of happiness and it is not only because of money. There are a lot of thing things that money can't buy like the love of our family and friends and also good health. Even if you have all the wealth, you have a lot of money in your hand but you are alone, you don't have family, you almost have no friends at all, or very sickly, then your moeny is worthless, you will just end up really unhappy and miserable.

Money can bring happiness because in money I can buy and pay all my debts. However not all in money is the source of happiness to me, love and peace in my mind and heart.

You know what, I agree with you. Money can't buy everything in addition to the saying that money is sometimes can be the source of all evil in this world. I believe contentment in what you have in your life is the source of happiness plus the fact that you are being loved by your family and friends and if you have a very strong faith in God.

In my own point view of perspective money cannot buy happiness. I can attest to this one based on my own experience in life lol.Happiness comes from within and then goes out that how people can say and tell that you are happy. It is all about attitude i do believe that your attitude is your fortitude. Also it is all in the mind that is why there is always a constant battle in our mind daily.You are a happy person that is so good but all i can say money is not the source of happiness but of course you will be happy if you have money.right?

I have posted a blog on this exact topic. If you find time you can visit my blogs. You can find my website link in my profile.

Money can never be the source of true happiness. We can sometimes fook ourselves into believing otherwise. We think that having more money will make us happy. It is isn't the money we need for happiness. Love and joy bring us more happiness that any amount of money ever could.

I don't think so. Happiness is comes from our mind, it can't be brought by moneys or whatever. I have found many rich peoples, artists, etc get depression and then killing themself without a good reason though they have a lot of moneys. We can't get happines but we can make happines. Have a nice day
