i know that most people will say: of course not!
but i can tell you that i have been unhappy mostly BECAUSE of not enough money and because of my financial problems.
money is a big cause of troubles in a lot of couples life as well no matter how much love they get.
i know deep down that if i had more money i would definitly be hyper most of the times, feel better, do much more in life, discover more, smile EVEN MORE, be more free, travel far away....
i have some periods of time where i really can't take off money issues out of my head so obviously to me money could buy me hapiness but that's just for me....
i don't know about anyone else.
when you have money you are free, and when you are free you are happy, so...
meanwhile i think it's very sad because we should be able to enjoy our lives without financial problems, it's really sad but if you wanna have more money i guess you can have more of it if you try.
fight for money, again....LOL
anyways , have a nice day!

I feel that money could bring me happiness...buy?To some extent yes...
The reason that is my answer is not because I think that money is every thing, but for the fact that it I wouldn't have the worry of getting my bills paid, or if I would still be able to pay rent and utilities if I end up missing a day of work. I know that I would feel happier becasue I wouldn't have that much stress....
I know that money cant buy a good family, love, or the joy of working hard to achieve something of importance, but I am pretty positive I would feel less stressed...anyways, that is my opinion....:) This is a very good question by the way

Money can only buy the illusion of happiness. It may sound cliche but happiness really does come from the inside. Whaen ever we are not content with how we feel on the inside we try to fill this emptiness from the out side in. It can be with money or other materialistic things a lot of guys go with cars, big screen tvs and females, it can also be drugs and alcohol, or aven shopping. We develope addictive behaviors by programing our mind to fixate on happiness by gettting enough of what ever our addiction is. However you can never have enough.Not once addicted. And thats how human brains work they get programmed basically. So when you have something on your mind a lot it grows on your mind more, and more, and more. If you are happy with who you are and your life you will not develope addiction, (I like sugary foods myself.) The less addictive you are the more you have balance in your life and can balance all aspects of your life, relationships, money, emotions, then you will naturally bring things into your life that other people think you need to be happy you'll be in a heallthy balanced relatioship, you'll have money, you will even have a job you enjoy. People may think your happy because you have all of these things, but really because you were happy you where able to obtain all these things. You can not fix things from the outside in, only from the inside out...So...ask yourself what do you TRULY want...and remember happiness is a feeling that we produce with in ourselves and depending on our perception of life is what will make this feeling easier or more difficult to create within. So to be happy change your perception , because money can only buy a quick fix, an imitaion of happiness that pales in comparison to the real thing and doesn't last near as long. (Like a drug.)

Of course not.
But it CAN buy peace of mind from financial worries. It can make life more comfortable and fun. It can relieve stress -- at least the stress of worrying about how you're going to pay the bills.
Rich people still have problems of course. But it MUST be easier to deal with problems -- whether it's your health, a bad marriage, troubled kids, whatever -- if you don't ALSO have to worry about money!

Absolutely not. There is no way material posessions could be a way to make someone happy. Money leads to nothing but selfishness and greed. Always wanting more and never being satisfied with anything. I could never choose money as a way to make me emotionally content.

Never, the only happiness one gets is short lived and then you start worrying how to accumulate more money, how to be on top, to worry about your investments.

i think money can buy you things that might make you happy on the out side, but true happiest can not be bought at Any store.

Nope. It's the attitudes and boundless love can make people happy. It's our outlook in life that counts happiness.

It depends on individual needs. Some people i known willing to be a mistress and still live happily (I guess) and do not mind not being married. It depends......
