I mean, if you were a millionaire, would you be truly happy? A billionaire? Just had thousands? Or is money not equal to happiness?

Money can't buy happiness....but being poor can be stressful as well. Actually I am blessed, I am FAR from rich, but I have everything I need. I am blessed to live in a wonderful country that is free, I have a job I like a car that runs, a roof over my head and clothes and even a few luxuries. Money is over-rated...

All the money in the world would make me happy but if I just had a few thousand dollars I would be more than satisfied.

Money's connection to happiness is not as simple as it might seem. Obviously not having enough to live on is a problem, but once you've got enough to live on, having more has only a moderate effect on happiness, and can even be counterproductive.
If I had to put a number on it, I'd say about $35,000/yr. Of course that will vary depending on the cost of living in your area.

For me, money is not equal to happiness. If I had people that I loved around me and I lived a life that I loved, then I would be truly happy. :)

The ability to do the things I need and not have to worry - ever - about money. I am not sure if there is an amount there but I am sure being a millionaire would make it happen.

I think because I am already happy enough with my present situation, a couple billion to start a foundation and build a house for foster kids to vacation in would be enough. I would go on a Paris shopping spree, but I wouldn't have to have private jet or a huge mansion to make me happy.

I grew up poor, and now I have a fair amount of money to support myself and have a good life with an apartment and a boyfriend, and a good paying job. Let me tell you, even though it was hard being poor, it was harder because my family was not close at all. I have more money now, but doesn't make me happier. what makes me happier is that I feel that I am loved and supported. No amount of money can do that.

I actual have kinfolk individuals that are prosperous and it has no longer offered them happiness. I come from the blue collar component of the kinfolk and had to pay for each thing myself. i'm in plenty debt with college etc. yet, I actual have a great boyfriend and he loves me as a results of fact i'm no longer a spoiled brat like maximum of girls human beings. i could extremely be unfavourable and in love than prosperous and on my own. it may be great to have money yet money does no longer purchase happiness.

I think 3,000,000 would be a good amount to retire comfortable. Money does equal some happiness. It's all about your out look on life too.

if you are poor you know the meaning of happiness, and you also know that money can make you happier. i need some money, i am so poor i found a shoe on the street and thought i won the lottery. i am so poor i have to fight the cockroaches for the last piece of bread. i am so poor i have to hang the toilet paper out to dry.
