i think you have to strive for balance within yourself, in order to reach balance in your life,,, so as you are working hard to make that money,,, make sure and take out some time to concentrate on relationships, on developing your spirit,,,,,,,,, do it as an obligation to yourself,,,,,,,,, having money seems to me as much a job of handling it responsibly, as in making/acquiring it,,,,,,,,
but your right, often when one area is going well, another seems to go downhill

Money doesn't buy happiness. But sometimes you can have both. Be happy with who you are & what you have, have peace of mind. Once you have that, you are already rich spiritually. Then you can work on achieving financial gain but never lose sight of what's really important. With positive thinking you can achieve anything.
The problem too many people make is that they put money before happiness. They think that material wealth will bring them happiness. It doesn't work that way. All the money on earth won't make you happy if you don't like who you are & you're not having any fun. There is a saying (& a book actually) "Do what you love, the money will follow." Pursue your dreams, live life authentically & the money will come to you. Money is not an end in itself.

Because most people don't know how to use money when they get it. They think fancy things bring you happiness when happiness comes from with in ourselves. When you make someone happy it makes you happy as well. If a rich person was to save lives then they would be very happy. Also if you look at a lot of the rich people they have always been rich. If you don't know poor then you don't appreciate being rich. If you don't know sadness then you don't know happiness.

1.Life is in balance because so many humans are arrogant and only think for themselves. 2 You have happiness but no money as that is becuase you have not got true hapiness as true happiness is price less. 3 You have money but no peace of mind as money drives you not the other way round. there is more to life than money!!!
Hope that helps!

Sometimes people make their own troubles. They buy things they can't afford, only to complain they have no money. They focus on only bad things that have happened instead of seeing all the good in their life.
It's all about attitude. If you think your life sucks, then it probably does. If you think your life is going to be good, then it probably will be.
Try being content with who you are and what you have - you'll become a different person.

It is all a lie. You can be happy and have money. You can be poor and be happy. I think people with money are little more happier. The real answer is rich people are lying to the poor so the poor stay poor and happy.

If you find happiness, you are in little need of money, or any other want. I find time to do things, but in limit of the means, then when I secure the means, have no time.

I have not much money, but just enough.
And peace of mind, I do have that, most off the time.
I feel happy, grateful so it's fine by me.

You obviously dont have money! I have more than I know what to do with and am very happy, you just need to know what to spend it on. Next time you feeling down, hire a prostitute - always works for me!
