This is not a rhetorical question. I mean you specifically! I want an honest answer which could be applied to your own life, not someone else's life.

I don't believe you people! Make your arguments more convincing!

Absolutely. Just put me on a tropical island and give me a little hut to call my own.

Grew up very poor, but worked hard and then married well. We want for nothing financially and we enjoy our lifestyle. Our kids have all the advantages and go to private school.
I can honestly say I could not go back to being broke again. Having to worry about where the next meal is coming from is something I remember as a kid and would never willingly go back to.
The answer is no. I personally could not be happy with little to no money. It is too stressful.

Sometimes, a poor financial situation is not the result of bad choices but rather unfortunate circumstances. Happiness, however, IS a choice. I am temporarily poor and sometimes a bit sad about what caused that. Still, more often than many would expect, I choose happiness. One way I've accomplished this is setting a goal for the day: do at least one good deed, particularly one for someone who is unaware that it came from me. If your own life has taken an unexpected turn, indulge in grief for a spell. Get it out of you. As you begin to upright your world, include what I have written in it. And, GET YOURSELF OUT OF THE HOUSE! If you don't have to be imprisoned, DON'T! The opportunity to share is out there. 'Opportunity knocks but once' is horseshit. Why wait for it to come to you? Keep your heart and eyes open. That one good deed might be your angel in disguise.

Yes...I can and am. My husband works and I stay home with the kids....we have what it takes to provide, but nothing much more. Kids are fed, clothed, bathed, taken care of....we have our bills payed every month. We just don't have money to go buy expensive cars or go vacationing around the globe...heck the state for that much, lol...but I am truly happy. I have a husband who is a hardworker, loyal, honest and gives me all the attention I could ask for. He makes sure I'm taken care of along with the kids. He never goes out with his buddies and comes home drunk in the middle of the night, he's never abused me physically or mentally, he's never cheated on me or left me. I'm thrilled to have a life that's not filled with all the drama so many others are. I'm very satisfied at the end of my day....kids are healthy, clean and happy, my husband is beside me and we have a roof over our heads to call home. I never had an engagment ring and it never mattered to me...I just wanted my husband to be mine and that's what I got...no ring could take his place. I'm very happy in my life....I know I've got it good and I appreciate everyday I spend with my one and only and my children.

I could be if I wanted to be. I already live without very much money and I guess I am doing OK. I make enough to pay rent and buy groceries. I can't exactly get extra things right now, so I do not go shopping. But if I had less money then I might could be happy. I would probably have to move back in with my parents. (lets just hope my boyfriend could move in too) As long as I have my boyfriend with me, I should be OK. He makes me happy. But money makes me happy too. But I could live without it.

Hmm... I'm already happy and I'm flat BROKE! I work my tail end off and it never gets me anything, other than paying my bills (which I am very thankful for). But happiness doesn't come from money; happiness. comes from within. You can have all the money in the world and be terribly unhappy. So, even though some extra money would help me out finanacially right now; I'll stay broke and happy!

I have zero cash at the moment yet I'm happy enough with who I am. I quantify my life by experience rather than money yet to be spent. That's not to say that life wouldn't be easier if I had a few more pennies to take the worries away, but I would still have the same friends etc regardless, and they mean more to me than is measurable...

No, I don't think that I could live and be happy with little or no money...unless everything I needed was already paid for.
As much as I say "money doesn't make the world go around"...it does...we need to buy basic necessities like food and clothing and shelter...with the costs of everything so high...it's very hard to live without money.

I live pay check to pay check and I don't like it. Ive got two children and Im divorced and I cant get tem the things they need cause I dont get very much child support. My parents dont help all that much either. So if I could make just a tiny bit more to help them have good Christmas's or Birthdays, that would be great. Or if my car was paid off. then i wouldnt have that payment.

Yes, I could live happily with little money and do. I could not live happily without having any money because I have four children and bills that need to be paid so that they have the necessities of life. If I had no money my children would be taken away from me and I could not live with that.

I don't have much money right now, but money isn't essential for my happiness. I have a house to live in, and my friends and family. I think if I had too much money, I'd end up being bored because I'd have everything I wanted/needed and being bored makes me unhappy.
