Is being able to have money to buy all that you want?

Happiness isn't all about money. There are certain aspects of life that can make you happy even if you're not financially well off. Family, success in your career, kids...are some of the things that can make me happy. Money isn't everything. But of course, you'll be happier if you'll get plenty of money, heheheh...

our inner spirit may sometimes be hard to please. take for instance you've been to the grand canyon, but what good is it if someone isn't there to share the experience with.

Is there really such a thing as happiness? If so, then it certainly doesn't lie in the money one has. One can have money, fame, fantastic marriage and family, beautiful home, everything one could ever dream of, and still be the most unhappy creature on the face of the world. You can be so broke that you're living in your car, and be the happiest. True happiness, to me, comes from being at peace with yourself. If you have love and respect for yourself, and harmony with your own being, there lies your happiness.

No, Being Happy means enjoying simple things life is giving you. Happiness is a matter of being FREE with yourself. Money can't buy happiness... I have already proven it and I have never been happy with my life because of that. It actually 'ruined' my so-called life.

Happiness comes from within. No one cannot makes you happy if you don't want to be. They can try and do the things that they think is pleasing but when you search deep within you and see what is hurting you and you flush it from your system then you will be as happy as you can be.

For me, being happy means is to be with your love ones.. You are spending your life to the fullest with so much fun and joy.. Money is not always the reason to be happy.. Yes, sometimes money can make us happy in a sense that we can buy the things that we want and some of the things that have to used with money... But then we can have a simple and happy life even though we don't have so much money in our pocket.. Enough money is already okay for as long people don't have so much material possessions in life.. You can get happiness everywhere, if we just open our minds, and heart and to accept the people who are surround with us.. Friends, family and someone especially are already enough for us to be happy.. It is up with us on how we view happiness in life..

Being happy means you get to enjoy your life to the fullest. A lot of people connects happiness to money. Money can't make anyone happy. It may only satisfy your want but definitely not your need. A person can be happy even without money.
