Would winning the lottery realy make you happy?

Question

SOME SAY ITS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL OTHERS SAY MONEY WOULDENT CHANGE THEM AND SOME SAY YER IT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY ID BE RICH BUT WOULD IT MAKE YOU HAPPY

Answer 1

This question reference to the condition I was in before I strike the lottery. I guess when I am rich; the addition of more money will not have an impact in the course of my living. On the other hand, an ordinary family will experience the mental stress that envelope their wants that become a sore point in the requisition. In this case, the confusion of what has the priority is an issue, a short-term dilemma that eventually awaken into spending spree that range from the smallest of the unnecessary items to the biggest that hang above the heads.

In comparison, the ordinary family is hard pressed to cope with the sudden gush of wealth. The inability to manage, if that is the case, will warrant a depletion of wealth, extending into a waste-pool of unnecessary purchases and outright loans, to kin, friends, and relatives, which often are opportunists that aligned their loyalties in this kind of situation. Moreover, the digression of lifestyles, each in their satisfaction of the voluptuous kind or somewhat on a lesser tone, nevertheless, a disaster for a family and relationship on hand, which couples are prone in this stigmatized situation of eventually in partition. End of the day, the effect of management has a role to play in fostering happiness.

Answer 2

Well, I think It would make some people but not me.

The point is that money itself does not directly lead to being happy. It's because whether a person is happy or not can be judged by his or her own scale. There are tens of thousands
of people who may not feel happy though they have enough money to throw away. On the other hand, there still may be much more people who feel happy with a decent amount of money.

In modern society, you can only obtain some keys to make you happy such as time and convenience free time and so on.

Money can be the root of all evil or the root of happiness.
It's not money itself that make people happy or not.

In conclusion, winning the lottery does not necessarily make someone happy.

Answer 3

It would make me happy but then I'm reasonably happy now. Money buys freedom. I wouldn't have to work anymore at a job I hate. I could spend more time with the people I love and doing the things that I love (painting, playing music, writing songs, travelling etc) so how could I not be happy?! Money isn't the root of all evil. People choose to be good or evil. Some people hate themselves & others & all the money on earth wouldn't bring them happiness. They think money is important & pursue it at all costs but people who do evil will never have true happiness.

Answer 4

I don't think it would make me happier as I am pretty much happy with life as it is, it would however make the material side of my life a lot more comfortable, i.e having a house of my own, not having to work so I could stay at home with my daughter more and provide a better future for her.
All those people who think money brings happiness are wrong and will probably end up lonely, unhappy, with money and people hanging on to them because they have money and have nothing real in their lives.
I have known people who have loads of money and think they are happy but it normally take one major instance in their lives to make them realise the reality of life and what is important is what money can't buy.

Answer 5

People who change because of money are changing because that's who they are. It's not money's fault, how can you blame an inanimate object for changing a humans behavior? That's crazy talk. If I won the lottery, not much would change. I'd pay off my debts, keep going to school, buy out my parents so they could retire and keep on keeping on. Others would spoil themselves and those around them. It's not money, it's people that is the root of all evil.

Answer 6

I don't think so as evidence showed that most people who win the lottery are yet to learn the art of differed gratification and after finishing the money, they are in debt and almost always sadder than before, I am quite confident that nothing comes for free and if it ever does, it goes away really quickly so no.

Answer 7

It would make me happy. I am naturally a very happy person, the only thing holding me down is money worries, and that goes for my friends and family too.

I'd be selfish and sort myself and my friends, then I would donate a massive chunk of it to a trusted charity and spend my time working with them.

But i'd make sure we all had fun, and no worries!

Answer 8

Yes, for a little while...until the money was abused...and the winner spiraled down to near financial ruin, as is too often the case...In the meantime, though, I think that it probably could bring at least some happiness.

Answer 9

it sure would, unless you were terrible depressed to begin with, then you're screwed already.

but i think that if an average-happy person won it, they'd be super-happy for quite some time. think about how much money stressed you out, and to have it taken care of makes you carefree. not to mention all the cool stuff you could buy.

l think the people who think money can't buy happiness have never experienced it or are just poor optimists.

personally, l'm an average-happy person so yes, l'd be extremely happy.

Answer 10

The lottery wouldn't, but the things I'd get with the money would.... Some people might argue that "money doesn't buy happiness"? Well, it sure makes misery easier to deal with.
