Have a lot of money, Not necessarily able to make our lives happy ... Money can be used up anytime, But if we don't have money, we don't can necessarily get what we want if I see, indirectly, they are all vying for money ... Do they not think of other things such as thinking about family, health, children, grandchildren, and others Is losing happiness better than losing money I think, we can may think of making money But we also have to think health and happiness . Maybe this will be better What do you think about as this

Money gives me security and the freedom to do what we want to do after paying for necessities. Of course it can’t by health or happiness, but it sure helps.

@KOLAMsegaran1 Nope! We are happy and healthy and have plenty of money from having had successful careers and smart investments.

Yes, that is true -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------   money will never bring happiness, and for me happiness is not from the amount of money, but it is the love of a family that will make our lives happy and perfect, because money can still be sought but a family that has been destroyed will be very difficult to be happy

@KOLAMsegaran1 no, I never did that, because I think it's a very stupid thing to do, thinking of equalizing happiness and money is very wrong, and big wrong

@leny34 What can make you say that What kind of story you ever got, so you can decide like that Because I think we have to think about money and happiness, so those two things must be parallel to my mind

Its nice to have a certain amount of money and security to go with it as it can help you out in hard times. People are more important than money but it certainly does help to have cash like I said.

Yes, that is true, we may look for money every day, but we cannot go in one direction, because besides we make money, we also have to think about our happiness, because money may not be enough to get true happiness

@KOLAMsegaran1 There can be situations where having enough money to sort things out is very useful.

@KOLAMsegaran1 Somehow, money is just able to fulfill all your needs but not emotional needs.

Yes, that's right, so we have to think about it all, because everything you say about it is very important in this life, and we should not attach importance to one of these things

Previously, I thought that money was not important, but it is important to have money, I do not mean to be rich but have enough money for a normal life. Life costs. If we have money, we will achieve our goals fast.

@KOLAMsegaran1 The most important is health and often needs money. If you are sick or do not have enough vitamins, you need to buy medicines or vitamins. You need money to become healthy again. It's not just health, but health is the most important thing.

If I wanted money, I would now live like a princess. I chose a different path and that's why I'm where I am, but I need to make money because I have a kid. And it is my duty to provide him with a better life.

Money is a important tool to keep our family have their needs and wants also. But it doesn't mean that you have lots of money you wil aso be happy. Sometimes, money is even the cause of your misery.

This is a good thought, I agree with you I remember the story of the corruptors, they can be suddenly rich because they are corrupt, but such people will certainly not be happy, because they will not be free from the police, because corruption is the enemy of the state, and there will be no country who is free of corruption

Money is important as you can't live without it. It's necessary for everything you want to do. However, it will never make a person happy. Happiness comes from doing things for others. It's found in a smile. It's in giving a kind word. That's where happiness is found. Not in how much money you have.

for me money and happiness are both same because you can only get happiness by money if you dont have money then you can understand the situations.

@KOLAMsegaran1 personally i do not have any story but i have a story of my parents. many year ago they were living in very poor area they says that we even not able to buy things which they need.but after getting success in business we bought new house and everything we need we can buy and feel happy.so my father used to tell us that earn money and it will give you happiness automatically because you are poor then you can't attract people by your side and if you are rich then people will automatically attracted by you. so money buys happiness

@Raj7779 Happiness comes from doing things for other people. It was found in a smile. And give the words the good one. That's where happiness is found, Not that happiness must have a lot of money What do you think about this

Honestly I hate money and love it at the same time, like they say it's the root of all evil. I have been a person that has never had enough money and sometimes I wonder how my husband and I get by. But happiness is way better than money.

@KOLAMsegaran1 I think it's because of the way I grew up, my family wasn't poor but we didn't have a lot of money..just enough to get by. So I have learned in life that it's people that make you happy and you don't need money to have fun. Just enjoy life.
