    I can honestly say that the happiest I ever was in my life was during a 6th month span where my company was broke and I worked 40 hrs a week and didn't get paid a dime. When you don't have money, you do things that you wouldn't normally do. Instead of shopping, or going to expensive places, you find other things do do. I pretty much played music, smoked a lot of herb, and hung out with my friends. As much as it sucked being broke, I was happier those couple months than any other time of my life. Sorry, but you cannot buy happiness. Money is something that everybody wants, but not everyone needs it to be happy.

    Money=Short term happiness


    It won't keep you happy forever and it depends how you spend it, if you spend money like a moron then you won't be happy if your in massive debt.

    Money can't buy things that will keep you happy for the long run

    money can't hug and kiss you, althought it can buy a whore for an evening but it won't be true hugs and kisses.

    Personally money causes problems not happiness the more money you have the more lickly you will spend it and be in debt the less money you have the more you're likely to save it, but you won't have as much luxurys and you will wish to have more money.

    basicly the quicker money is earned the faster its spent out, the harder money is earned the slower its spent out.

    either way rich or poor you won't be happy

    Isn't it weird how all you need to get is a check and then you have money....or that you could find something as small as a paper lunch bag filled with money and possibly never have to work again.


    Isn't it really.

    I'm never any happier when I get my big ass financial aid check and feel rich.

    The only time not having money has made me actually unhappy is when I had a large amount of negative money in my account and they closed my account and then I couldn't buy any food anymore.

    As long as I have enough to stay alive and pay my rent, I am good.

    accumulation = poverty
    generosity = wealth

    this is not some pretense of sainthood
    but a simple reality of gratificaion

    of course it takes ability and the aquiring of ability
    to make anything to be generous with
    and tools help to

    money can be a tool if it is used wisely as one
    but otherwise it is niether more nor less then any other

    like any tool it can be dangerous too
    because it can blind you to anything outside of its own
    circular logic and that of the coerciveness of human society

    Money definitely is NOT a bad thing if you're level-headed enough.

    I'd love to have enough money that I'd never have to worry about having it.

    I do feel happy to have enough money to take care of all of my needs, and even get some things I want. I have enough money to take care of all my current needs, so I really have no complaints about money (Actually, my only complaint about money is how much I waste, but that's my fault).

    money has never had anything to do with happiness in my life.
    most often, money leads to abject unhappiness.
    money=material
    happiness=mind

    well all I know is seeing my children happy makes me happy. My children like to do things and I need money for that. On the real, I was depressed about that damn boy a little while ago.....I shopped and pedicured my way out of it. If you ask me, or the magnet on my fridge, those who say money can't buy happiness doesn't know where to shop

    Money -- can't buy happiness, but can prevent misery and give a person more choices

    I think a person should learn to be happy with what they have to be happy with.

    money sucks. I am most happy when I can't afford to fix my car or pay my insurance. It gets me out walking and riding the bus, then I do some good reading and meet really cool people. It seems like the only time I have money is when I work 60 or 70 hours a week and don't have time to spend it. All in all I think being poor is better,

    i'm genuinely sorry to hear that your life is so shallow and that by your unwillingness and inability to parent more creatively you are passing that shallowness on to your children.

    i know you are going to flame me, but you should know that i like you anyway.

    if you seek happiness by spending money then you prove that the money is nothing and youd give something so hard to get to atain happiness ....the happiest ive ever been was broke but eventualy you need $ to live a lifeof spartan simplicity in perpetuity ...its like a paradox...i need $ to live like a pesant for more than a brief time
