what's better having $ or being Happy?

Question

really the questions is more - can money buy happiness? and I know the cliche' answer is no... but I am looking for a more "original" answer :-)

Answer 1

money can buy temporary happiness
i mean if you have a ton of money you can buy the car of ur dreams, the house of your dreams, everything you have ever wanted and yes that will make you happy for a while but when it all comes down to it the things that make you the happiest in your life are love, family, and friends...and you dont need money to buy them.

Answer 2

I would rather be happy b/c all the money in the world cant buy you that. That is what I am now. I am happy and really dont care that I dont have that much money left over after every paycheck to go out and buy extravagant things. Love is all you need. Money is helpful but only to get you the things you need not all the things you want. And for the people on here that says money can buy love it cant.

Answer 3

Of course everyone says that money is not the answer. But you need to advance in life not fall back. So when you are investigating or getting to the your date you need to keep in mind that you need better - so does he have a job, career and what are his plans. Once you know that then you need to decide of course if you can work your life around his. This is just things for you to know, you do not have to interview him - so to say or share this with him. Unless you are smooth and can add it in casual conversation. Now if you happen to meet a guy that makes less than you and has been at the same job for let say five years and he has not advanced then you really do not want to be with him. Evey step in life you take should be for better and yes $$$$ is a big deal especially if you want to live comfortable and not pay day to pay day.

Answer 4

Being happy with money hehehe

I'm so kidding.......I kind of wish my bf didnt have all the money he has now(firefighter) because before the money we were so much happier.

I cant say if the money is whats making us or ME unhappy but I just know it was a lot easier......not to saythat the money has changed him time and circumstance has done that but the money does play some part in it all .........I hope we figure it out soon.........

So at this point I say F*ck the money I just want to be happy ;)

Answer 5

Really money can buy happiness beause think about it you were happy when you buy a house aren't you happy? When your fiance gives you the ring will proposing are't you happy? Both of these things you have to have money to get. So if you think about it in a different way money does bye happiness.

Answer 6

Money can't buy you happiness but it as I got a little older it doen't hurt either but I really never had alot of money but have been happy as long as you have good health and family and friends who care about you money is not all that important as long as your not living in the streets and have food and shelter life is great money can't buy good health ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT my mom passed away last year and did not care so much about money just her family and grandchildren you can't take it with you

Answer 7

Well money may not buy happiness, but lack of it sure creates plenty of unhappiness. If it came down to it though I would prefer happiness, cause it's not much fun to have money and no friends or lovers.

Answer 8

Money can buy you temporary happiness, yes. Once you get accustomed to it, it won't mean anything anymore though. Inner happiness can only come from inside you and your friends.

Answer 9

In reality, money can attribute to happiness, anyone who says it can't, is not being honest.
It's a rare thing to learn to deal with the stress of not having money to pay the rent, utility bills, etc.The things you have to have.

Answer 10
