My family is kind of rich. I'm one of those kids that gets pretty much anything they want, but I don't let it go to my head. I'm getting a brand new mobile in a couple of days......But even though I have money, I'm still not happy.

Believe me everyone when I say money doesn't make you happy, all you need to be happy is a little self-confidence. So when people try to put you down, ignore them, they're not even worth the effort of turning around.

Do you agree that money doesn't make you happy? what are your thoughts?

You need money to survive in our society. Only a fool would say that they could be happy without money. But you are right, money is not the most important thing in life. Money does make me happy, but it's a kind of temporary happiness. Lasting happiness in a totally different thing and I don't see how more money would help me achieve it in any way.

money sucks. totally overrated. life? money? who needs it?

money helps, but it doesnt make u happy.
im also from a well-off family, so i know what u mean... however i wouldnt class myself as an unhappy person neway

give me a couple of millions and I`ll tell you

Money gives you freedom. The freedom to travel, the freedom to have material things. I'm materialistic so money makes me happy. But its not everything. There are things i dont have and money cant buy, having those things is what would make me eternally happy.

Does money make you happy ?

well...as a mom of 4 , im the first to say its certainly not the most important thing in life but having money can make you happy...

even if you have lots of confidence and loads of spirits...money can make life easier there for making you happier .

no offence to anyone here but its always the rich and well off that i hear belly-aching about how money isnt everything......if you dont like it....and money isnt everything.....give it to someone who needs it more then you....

take your money and feed a family who would not have eaten that night because of not having ANY money.......

next time you go shopping for clothes....buy something extra for the homeless man on the corner.....

shelters are always needing blankets and food....

can money buy happiness ???

yes , it can if you use it right .

No, money doesnt make me happy, but stuff that i buy with it sometimes does.

Money does make me happy, but it not the only thing.
Money is just a requirement for happiness, among other things, such as family, health, etc. If one of those requirements is gone, so is your happiness.

The only people who say money doesn't make you happy are the people who don't have it

Have you seen the Boiler Room Raz? The movie...the quote in that movie goes -

''Whoever says the money is root of all evil, never effing had any''

too true!

I don't recall

"Money isn't everything, but it fills a void"

money doesn't give happiness but it is better to check it on your own

I don't get it chica, maybe I'm slow but could you explain?

It might be the different language thing..........

I'm from a working/middle class family, I'm better off than some people I know, but I don't get whatever I want whenever I want it... Money makes me happy when I get it for free, but it's not the most important thing. The rich kids at my school piss me off, how they go around waving their ipods in everybody's faces and "checking" to see how much money they have in their wallets...

bag i'm sorry.
i shouldn't translate our sayings.


it is like... everyone says that money can't give you happiness
but you can't know that untill you're f.cking rich.. and when then you're unhappy, it will be a proof

bag

Oh, I get you!

Don't make a statement unless it's an educated one?

something like thaaaat

Ha, don't worry Clo, we understand one another

If I got lots of money all of a sudden, I would be extremely happy and I would have a lot more freedom, like most who don't have a lot of money.

Of course it makes you happy in one element of life.

IN fact money does not buy happiness and if you want money and think it is going to love you back you are deadwrong.
Sure it would nice to be rich but hey not everyone is rich.And you should count your blessing.One person once told me when those people who love money so much dies.
There money laughs at them.I am not saying this is true but it is alitle funny and in a way does make sence."Can't buy me love!"(starts to sing a song to herself!)JM

It doens't make me UNhappy.

I don't want alot of money, it would make me miserable actually, but I don't want to be poor.

Normal income is fine for me.

amen.

Hallelujah brother

Yes, yes it does

I was waiting for someone to use that very old and lame "joke" ... damn, why did you use it

I have an ipod

Coincidentally, so do I (actually I won it in a raffle), but I don't go around at school listening to it, holding it in my hand and dancing/headbanging to it, which is what I've seen a lot of kids do. Not only is this obnoxious, it is also a good way to get it stolen.

to betruthful itmakes me very happy without it i would be miserable

I think those white i-pod earphones just scream "Mug me!".

Money can't buy me love. But it sure can buy me an escort, DVD, CD, Video Games, Movie Tickets, etc.....


I'm sucha Capitalist Pig!

I ahev expensive taste for saome odd reason and my mom always says I can see us rich....I want to give my mom all the money and no bills and see her live with out the headache!

you see in a couple of days I get a trust fund with lots of $$$ and I'm excited and my step dad wants nothing to do with it...so that just means MORE MONEY FOR ME...so yes money makes me go round and round

My brother offered to buy me an ipod, I turned him down
I mean seriously, they're not that special

precisely...

Yeah, I got my ipod for my birthday, I don't take it to school though. It's just showing off and screaming for somebody to steal it.

In my opinion, money does not bring you happiness. I think, for a while, it would entertain you, and keep you occupied. But, eventually, you will run out of things to buy, or things to do. If you rely only on money to bring you happiness, then in the end, you will find yourself alone and unhappy.

Its not money that makes you happy. It's the things that money can buy that make you happy. So money does make you happy indirectly.

if i had a couple of million hanging around id be a very happy person

it depends really
if someone gave me $1000 to go shopping, sure id be happy!
but it depends on the person.
the whole saying 'you cant buy love with money' is totally true!
i never thought it was, because if a boyfriend of mine bought me something i would find it really sweet. but if someone you hate is trying to buy your love its not gonna work (on me anyway)
my dad said to me once, when i was going through a tough time in life, "ill take you on a holiday, ill let you change schools, well move houses if you want, well change countries, ill buy you anything you want"
and i was discusted!

money is a cheeky little thing schmoll
sometimes its good, other times its not


did that make sence?

If ALL your problems are money problems, then money will solve all your problems. Mostly.

Money wouldn't make me happy, I'm a happy chappie anyways besides which I've never had money long enough to get to like it

You don't need a big pile of money, Baylin. If you have a heart that is true and strong, are considerate of others & those in need and have a good sense of humor about yourself and life, you'll do just fine.

Funny you should say that Gundy, I've never been overly fussed about money. I earn enough to support my family and have hobbies and that really is good enough for me!

Good for you !!

However if my lottery numbers ever came up



















Which is highly unlikely given I dont play...

Ah, the lottery....the shopping trip of a lifetime.


*drools*

well it would make me happier

In a sense, yes, money is needed to be happy. I'm sorry, I just couldn't and refuse to be poor. My uncle is a pretty wealthy guy, and he says money is everything, and it buys hapiness. I total 100% agree. I wouldn't want to be living out in the streets. I'm not greedy or anything, I would live just over a decent salary. So ask yourself this, would not being able to feed your family make happy because you don't have money? Thought so.

i am lucky, my family are quite well off and i can pretty much get money when i want it

money makes u happy until u have spent it all

Same here, doesn't mean I waste it or flaunt it.
I have it and therefore I have no worries about it so it makes me happy.

Doesn't mean I'd be completely miserable without it, but I'm happier knowing it'll be there if I ever need it.

Not to mention I also work for money, this is more for experience though.
