What do you think of the saying "money wont make you happy"?

Answer 1

I do not agree I mean **** without money where would you be? you wouldn't have a home you wouldn't have food and that is the basis of capitlism you need money to live and the more money you have the more happier you will be

Answer 2

It all depends on the perspective and wether you use it or "it" using you!!!

I have seen many people winning lottery, going to shows and winning money, playing at resorts and winning big.......yet some, no wait, lets rephrase that..........most people will be happy for a bit and then they find out that they had to claim it and pay taxes, or did not do anything productive like think about he future and wasted it fast...........in those cases we have people who thought were happy but only displayed it while they had the money and could spend it!!
If you are smart and decide to separate your money into bonds, 401K, some in the bank, some in savings, CD's, and others into international accounts that may be better due to no or less taxes that apply to those accounts......you should look into Central America, Brazil, Europe and Asia for better places to invest your money besides American Banks with high interests and taxes!, Also recomend investing on stock market or small businesses with opportunities to grow, like real state, comercial buildings for renovating, and or hotels or apartments complexes..........a good restaurant is safe but you might have to be really excited because it is more hard work than you might think!!

A good practice is to invest your money while keeping your full time job............take half of your positive interest and use for wants and keep the rest for emergencies..........do not ever touch your whole cash unless you have a good plan for it or you will use it crazy and end up poor before retirement and too late to get just any job!!!

If you are smart money can be a tool and if you are stupid money could be your worst nightmare!!

Good luck!!

Answer 3

I think it's true. But there are some things that meke us happy and we need money to buy those things. Anyway, if love is the most important thing for the human beings (at least for some of them) money can't help us... Nothing is able to buy love. But only each person knows what makes her really happy. Everyone should try to get it whatever it is!

Answer 4

So true! I'd love to have more money than I do just like everyone else, but it wouldn't be money that makes my life happy. Look at all the rich stars, etc. who are so miserable and go into rehab 19 times only to come out and commit suicide. Money can't give you morals or buy you true love and that's what makes life happy.

Answer 5

I think that people that have a lot of money already say that. They never had it bad financially and they don't know that money will make a difference if you use it the right way.

Answer 6

those peeps dont know where to shop!! haha..j/k... of course, money doesnt buy happiness, but it does help to have enough money to pay bills and be able to eat and not lose sleep at night thinking you might lose your home or car or something.. so i guess my response is it might not make you happy, but it does help to make you comfortable

Answer 7

But it sure buys a lot of things that can make you happy

Answer 8

Money is important to maintain the standard of living.But Money can not hep us to rewind our past & can not give us inner peace of mind.
But,definately Money plays a very important role in our life.

Answer 9

it depends on how you look at it...
If material items or things you can purchase makes you happy, then so be it.
But if feelings and emotions like being in love for example would make you happy then thats what makes you happy!
:D

Answer 10

Money doesn't make you happy, however, it DOES make you more comfortable!
