Some people believe that money can buy happiness .With money they can buy everything they need in the world . They believe money is power .Many young people marry for money rather than for love . This is very popular at this time . People spend lost of their lives struggling frantically to keep up with the Joneses . But some think that money is the root of all evil , causing disasters . We live in a materialistic society ,we are trained to be acqusitive. So what is your view on it ? Money and happiness!

You can be happy without money, but you can have money an be unhappy, it all depends, each person is different. For me, not having money is bad, but happy man is always my goal, if I have the minimum I can be very happy. I work for happiness everyday instead of money, it is all a way of living, if I have food on the plate and a roof above my head it is a happy day.

I would say I agree with kitli29, so long as the bills are paid and food is in the frig with a little money to have those things we desire to make every day a happy one, then why do you have to be filthy rich??? If you have so much money you could not possibly spend it what's the point of having it?? There are so many others who need it just to have a roof or food, if I were to win a big lottery I would set up my life to be comfortable, invest for retirement and spread the wealth with my family and close friends. If we are all happy and debt free, have no paycheck to paycheck worries than all will be great in life and having too much money brings out all the freaks who think you owe them. Bill Gates, no I don't want to be him.

both are equally important..you can't live without money, neither can you live without happiness. but what good is all money in the world if you're not happy and content with your life?

With money I can enjoy life better. I would not have financial difficulties. No more head aces and health problems. So yes, money can make me happy. I would be able to enjoy life and make others happy too. Take care.

The love of money is the root of all evil not money itself. If you have enough money, you can buy a lot of things, but happiness isn't one of them.
