I was thinking about is money = happiness. I worry a lot because my future, especially about having a job. (That's why I hunt for online options). At this point I can believe rich people know money makes you happy. But they tell the opposite so we poor guys won't rebel :).

yes of course money can make us happy as we can get all the comforts of life and what ever we want, but money is not life we need it for our comforts

True, true... well something can't be replaced with money. I have a good smart phone, laptop, internet, food all the... things what is needed. But love... well it's nearly impossible to reach it. So I try to get money instead :D at least it's more possible to be rich than get a GF. Realy...

Money cannot buy happiness as the saying would go. But with the way how our life is today, most especially with such poor economy, how could we survive without money, right? Money should really be not our focus to achieve happiness, but it is also one way of making our families secure.

Knowing your life is secured so you don't have to live on the street and you know you have something to eat everyday is not a bad thing too. So we aren't talking about luxury cars and so on. Only simple things.

Well, yes of course. I do not cry over luxury. I did cry a few times when there was food only enough to feed my kids. And so I just let them eat all of it than take my share of it. It is difficult to see kids sleep without eating dinner. I have sacrificed for them just so they would not feel hungry at night.

Money will only bring you limited happiness for a period of time, eventually to much money wont birng you happiness as you can buy what you want. I believe happiness is about having stability and balance in your life :)

It could mean that yes - knowing you can survive without issues on a normal income. It gives you security and stability and increases happiness. I believe if you have to much money it doesnt nessecarily bring you extra happiness - as not everything can be purchased for money.

Hmm... So we can say money brings happiness but after a limit (in dollars) it gives no more. Well I would happy to get to that limit. Money also gives you time! If you don't have to work or work too much you can spend more time with love and family and such.

Stability and balance can mean you have a home and you don't have to work all day long to have FINANCIAL stability?

Nope. I really don't think money is the root of happiness or the root of evil as they say. You need money but then, you don't need money to be happy. It depends on how you use it! :)

I feel that in today's world money is everything. Without money you have nothing. Even your friends leave you if you are penniless. So I guess money=happiness. But strangely enough I don't take the money factor so seriously. I just feel that money is not everything.

As the Beatle's song goes money can't buy me love and love would be happiness right? Well i do think money can buy some happiness because we are happier when we have it, nut their are people without it who seem pretty happy as well. Since e can't take the money with us when we die how happy are we with it really. Sometimes money gets us into trouble that's not happiness and like u say it can't buy happiness. I mean just because there are many thing u can do or gt with money doesntt mean your are going to be happy.Like very rich people that have millions may not have kids or a spouse and be alone and that's not being happy just because u have money. So i think in some ways yes money can make you happy and in other ways is doesn't . I'd say mostly money doesn't buy happiness or love.

I don't think so,for me money is just tools for our life.If that's can makes people happy,i think depend on what kind of people.There are people who never satisfy with his money,even the others said that he is reach man.He always feel less and his money can't make him happy.The otherside,there are people who live with limited earning and his money is not enough for food.But he always happy and enjoy his life.Money can't change your happiness.

Well, in my point of view, happiness is not a destine, but it is a choice. I heard this saying from TV and I forgot who said it. Some people are happy and satisfied if they have money. They are already contented with their life as long as they have money. Some people are sad even though they have lots of money in their bank account that is why they would say money is not that important. The important is the family, friends and so on and so, it depends on each individual of what makes them happy. For me, well, reality bytes, money really make us happy unless we live in a free world. Free world means no money here on earth and everything is free and if that would happen, I guess, everyone would say, "Oh money is not important. We already live in a perfect world and we live happily ever after."

I feel that lack of money is the matter which puts me down. I would really enjoy my collage days I have have them in my pockets. Money would give me various types of facilities and matter, which would make me to love my life

Hi friend, money is one of the factor which makes us happy, but only money don't have the ability to give full happiness to us, we need some other factors in our life for the real happiness. Wish you to get a good job in the near soon and solve your money issues
