Money is a thing that is used in our planet. Without it , the planet wont go around. We can buy stuffs we like.We can buy cars, house, clothing and many more. Problem of reach people is that they cant buy happiness. Truly, money is only for likes but not the special need of our life. "Real Happiness". Money can buy happiness but not permanent. After time, it will be removed unlike what real happiness does. Money cant Buy Real Happiness

I agree with you. It is important that we keep a balance when it comes to money. It really can't buy everything. You are right we can use it to buy the things that we need and even somethings we may want. But we shouldn't rely on it to do everything for us.

I also think it is good to keep balance between money and other things in life and one should not go after money all the time.

Money is a very helpful tool that can provide real happiness to all mankind. But the problem roots in ourselves. Why??? Most rich people may be so influential, they have all the money in the world, yet spare a little time for their love ones, they became more greedy, how will they be able to live a happy life that way?? But if money is well invested, family and relationships are more priorities, of course you can be very happy. If you're to kind and generous to give help and support to others in a form of giving money to charities, or your services, etc. then the merrier! If i have all the money in the world, I will make good use of it, help more people, buy the things i want, make my friends/family happy, such a wonderful life.

I dont think money can buy long term happiness but it can buy some fun . Money cannot buy love but it can get you some comfort that may make you happy for a short period .

Money can buy what seems like happiness, but it definitely cannot buy joy. Happiness is external. Joy is internal. Between the two, I rather have the second. What about you? Joy will make one happy regardless of situation. It is harder to make Happiness turn into joy.

I liked your comparison between Joy and happiness . I thought before they are just synonymous but i believed there is just this thin line between the two , and that is the problem now , i myself can hardly tell what is it because for me seems they are just same money is needed to have it.

It's really tough to decide whether money can or can't buy happiness. What is Happiness? It's the state of mind and what puts your mind in a happy state. Just living in dreams and imaginations is not happiness. You dream of a lavish house, a superb car, fat bank balance and you strive for it. Once, you achieve all those, you will be happy. Accepted though money can't buy the happiness forever, it definitely puts you in safer state.

I agree with you money is thing made of paper but still it can be exchanged to goods,goods provide you pleasure and then money is spent but true joy,love or god can not bought with any money.so money is limited to many aspects but the love is unlimited but there are two type of love first is attachment,lust,body attraction etc that is not really any love almost fifty percent of men consider lust,passion love but it can not continue till old age never because there is no pleasure,then there is a true love that is unconditional that is truly more precious than any amount of money but money is for need not for the wants earning is good but attachment is not good.

You know nothing can give you permanent happiness because there is no such thing as permanent happiness in the world.

No matter, it still feels good to have a lot of money. It is good to have real happiness. But it is better to have money and happiness.

Money can't buy happiness for people who have no contentment. No matter how much money they have, they always feel that money is not enough. Money is power. Look who enjoys life on this planet, it's the people who have money.

Maybe not, it sure can buy a lot of things that will make you happy! Money is a need, Sometimes I might be sad and money cant fix it but id rather cry in a comfy home than cry in a box. I sooo hope I haven't upset anyone!

I want to say money can't buy internal happiness but it can buy a worldly happiness . Since we are just human being , have worldly needs which needs to be satisfied and we need money for this worldly needs. You try to live without money , let us see if we won't be sad for having a starving stomach and not comfortable and conducive living.

Money can't buy happiness. Happiness, however, can buy you a longer life. "Real happiness comes when you have fulfillment, you have creative expression, you enjoy your work, you're engaged, you make other people happy, you have meaning and purpose in your life." So while it may not be the root of all happiness, money can lead to evil. "The love of money could be the root of evil."

I remember the lyrics of the song which was sung by Jessie J. "It's not about the money, money...we don't need your money, money..." But of course this is not true! Money can buy almost everything to sustain the needs we have everyday. But as in buying real happiness and joy, money cannot just buy everything. What money can only buy is temporary happiness out of the material things it can provide us. I totally agree with you that money just cannot buy REAL HAPPINESS!

I also think that money cannot bring real happiness in life. Some people go after money like anything. I think money can only bring temporary happiness. I think there are lots of things in the world that can bring happiness in our lives that money cannot. I think is good to have money that we only needed and not much more.

The best things to have are good luck, good health and happiness. Happiness can't be bought. It is given by enjoyable times with family and friends, going to lovely places or having a brilliant romance. A sunny afternoon on a pier overlooking the coast can be lovely. A party with my family can make me really happy. Going to a dance session and then in a jacuzzi makes me very happy. Money doesn't buy happiness but it is essential to have enough money for food and housing costs like bills plus the mortgage. A person with severe money worries will be ever so miserable. Think of your happiest years like for me 1989 and 2005.

There is old discussion about money and happiness, a rich man is not certain to be a happiness person, although he has lots of money, but money is necessary for all of people, it is important in our life, we don not think money is equivalent to happiness. I suggest that we can seek out happiness from my colorful life when we have no much money, and when we become a rich man, we can dress up our life uesed money reasonably.

Yes, Jenny, you are right. We can buy everything by money but can't buy happiness with money.

I remember a poem I read somewhere..Money can buy food but not appetite.Money can buy medicine but not health. Money can buy a big house but not a family. Money can buy dresses but not beauty.
