Nothing wrong.
People want money not to be rich but happy. Money does not give guarantee for happiness. But money enhances the ability of searching Happiness.
Categorically a man can want to be rich and he could do some phenomenal effort. And after earning enough more money then need, well he could be graded as rich.
But to be happy, no there is no end of point where after reaching a person can claim that I achieved; It’s a by product of global process. During the journey in the earth people feel happiness and sadness.
No body can say that I am enough happy so lets do for some Sad and vise versa.

If you are rich and selfish and deluded that you are happy, this is wrong. If you are rich and generous and devoted to making others happy then you've a better chance of finding true happiness with no reason why you should feel guilty. There is nothing wrong with having alot if you are willing to share it around. After all if you focus on having nothing you will have nothing to give and just be being a martyr for no good cause other than to just as selfishly feel the self satisfaction that you are being unselfish. Motives always go to hell when it comes to other people, because you just have to start thinking about it and everything you do however ulturistically could be twisted to look like you are doing it only for yourself. But I don't think it is possible to be truly happy and rich in terms of having lots of flashy things like cars and huge houses and watches because all these things are so empty and they make your happiness empty. You need to build up riches not on earth but in heaven in that you need to build up a fortune that doesn't just dissolve when you die in legal disputes that tear your family apart Back on earth your money and who gets it comes to matter more than the fact you are dead whereas if you had invested more in being rich in character your memory might be valued more.

Yes ofcourse you can, even if you disregard where the money came from. You can be a sadistic and evil person but as long as your happy noone is going to take that away from you. Regardless of your actions to others including the less fortunate you can be happy if you want to be. I am very familiar with some Mongoloids out there that love to be alone and not get along with anyone but thats what makes them happy. So i think in my opinion it doesnt matter whether you're doing the right thing or not. If you're wealthy and happy then drive on, but ofcourse someones' bound to end up beating your face to a bloody pulp if you piss them off enough with your arrogance (if any) i know i would..

It is wrong to be rich, and it is wrong to be happy. Being both at the same time is simply a demonstration of extremely poor taste.
If you are rich, then you do not care enough about those that are poorer than you. If you are aware of your happiness, then you are too self-centred. Happiness is only okay in the past.
In any case, I do not think you are happy, even if you are rich. Otherwise, you wouldn't be asking the question.

Well 'YOU Can" I would say. But, happiness and money do not go hand in hand. Well, money is important, but that alone cannot make you happy. You can get what ever you require if you are rich, but happiness depends on you. Many poor people live happily, sharing whatever they have among themselves. They enjoy the life. But, some rich, instead of enjoying, spend their life in making more money. They do not enjoy the life when they are young, but when they have amassed wealth, they would be in a position where there is less scope for happiness.

This world is word and opposite you can’t live in this world without experiencing the two, good or bad. One must fall on you at a particular point of time. You may rich that does not mean you are contented with everything. You will still observe that something is lacking at a time. But it is better to be rich.

Nope. As long as you can be grateful when and if you lose the money.
Happiness can be as simple as something you earn. Being grateful is a decision you can make at any moment and does not require effort.
To have the ability to choose at any moment in your life to be grateful for it could be said to be the highest form of happiness and does not require riches or the absent of riches.

Ok i want to tell you that if you are rich and you become rich by fair means ie. by not hurting someone and taking advantage of someones problem then you are the richest person as then you will be having a lot of satisfaction and confidence upon yourself. If not then its true that you or maybe yours ansisters have earned money hurting someone or not by fair means.

Nope it isn't wrong. Having the ability to be rich and happy at the same time probably means you're a kind and popular dude/lass :D
