well everyone has their own different POV's. I think.. its not.. because just if your rich.. doesn't mean you'll be succesful or happy.. because everything is done for you and you are learning nothing in the real world. To be happy you need to be on your own feet .. learning different steps along the way, not being pampered for having all the money you need.

Sure.. if you dont loose your head and you're able to keep your feet on the ground.. if you dont compromise on your integrity and if you dont change from what you were when you had nothing.. if you wake up every morning with the feeling that by evening all your money can vanish and so live to make relationships that last.. money may give you all the happiness in the world.

“I have no riches but my thoughts, yet these are wealth enough for me.” ~ Sarah J. Hale

“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”

“That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.”

“Virtue does not come from wealth, but . . . wealth and every other good thing which men have . . . come from virtue.”

The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money.

Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.

Money is not the root of all evil. The LOVE of money is.

OMG You cant' be seirous!!

Money will be the ruin of all things on earth! Money corrupts good people. Money corrupts the decent, the fair, the ones we call officers, the judges. Business men and other people with power are currupt, from having so much money, they think they can buy their way through life! Money gets criminals out of jail, and keeps the innocent IN jail! It causes people to do stupid, immoral, and perverted things.

Ask yourself this............What would I do with all the money in the world?? You'd spend it on yourself. Maybe a family member or 2, so others wouldn't think you're selfish. But people with lots of money, are always selfish. They only care about what other people think of them, and they use money to make others like them, and to buy their way out of trouble.

Now having enough money to live on is fine. It won't corrupt you. But once you have that few extra dollars, then that's when everything changes!! You start buying things that look pretty, or cost the most, or you buy something because someone else has one and you think it would look nice in a place that no one would ever see it; your bedroom or the bathroom! Instead of things you need. Or you'd spend it on yourself, instead of doing something that should be done, or needs to be done with it. Like donating the money to a charity, or giving some to a needy family, or one of your family members.

People with alot of money don't deserve that money. They need to get rid of it, by doing something good with it!!

Not to get all Christian on you, but God didn't make us to become rich and powerful. God didn't have anything to do with money. The way were to be paid was by food and love. But somewhere along the line, some moron decided to make money, and give it value. Then once money was the new obsession, some stingy, selfish king decided to collect all the money he could, by taxing everyone he could. If you couldn't pay taxes, you got into some deep doodoo!!

It's the same today! If you don't have the money to pay something, you either wind up in jail, or it gets taken away from you.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to have more income in my household. But I don't want so much that I start to act like one of these little rich-***** prissies. I want enough to know that my kids will have a good future when they get old enough. When you have to pay on your taxes, that's when you know you're making to much money, and you need to start doing something better with it, then hold on to it, letting it sit in the bank! What are you going to do with that money, once you die? You can't take it with you. You going to let your family fight over who gets how much? Or you going to sit down with a lawyer, and decide who gets what, and then be worried about what the people will say once they get it? Like "I should get more, I was around him the longest, or I took care of him for the longest time" things like that. It's better if you split the money up equally, then give the rest of it away!

Money can only buy happiness, until something isn't new anymore. Money only fills that empty feeling we all have inside. The best way to buy happiness, it to give to others and see how happy they are once they recieve. THAT is what should make other people happy, not money!

No.

Money cannot give happiness, but lack of money will absolutely bring sadness.

Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.
People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.
If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?
People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.
In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.
The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbeliefe" and the link below for this wonderful book:

http://fs.harunyahya.net/popup/Download.php?WorkNumber=256&Format=pdf

you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbeliefe," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.
So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.
We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.
They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.

Real happiness and peace can be ONLY found in submitting to the commands of the Creator and the Sustainer of this world. God has said in the Qur’an: (Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.)
(Qur’an, 13:28)

On the other hand, the one who turns away from the Qur’an will have a life of hardship in this world. God has said:
(But whoever turns away from the Qur’an, he will have a hard life, and We will raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.) (Qur’an, 20:124)
This may explain why some people commit suicide while they enjoy the material comfort money can buy. For example, look at Cat Stevens (now Yusuf Islam), formerly a famous pop singer who used to earn sometimes more than $150,000 a night. After he converted to Islam, he found true happiness and peace, which he had not found in material success.
