Do you feel you make more or less than the people you know. Do you feel the stress of the "keeping up with the jones" mentality? Did you think at this point in your life you'd be making more than you are? I know I asked a number of questions, answer however you wish.

Yes, I wish to make more money. I have student loans to pay, books to buy (STILL! AHH!!) Classes start on the 16th, and I put my last 5 in the collection plate at church.
I make the same as everyone here...nothing. LOL.
Yes, I do feel stressed out (left for some time yesterday and today because of it).
And yes, there was a point in my life where I thought I would have a job by now, but sadly, I had to re-locate 10 minutes from farmers Branch. (illegal heaven)
Would be ALOT happier with money! Good news, will get my student loan cheak in the mail in about 2 or 3 weeks.

I'm quite happy making the salary I'm making. Which is a lot. How much is a lot? Way more than "enough", and less than "too much"!
Seriously though, I make enough to keep secure, go to the places I want to go, eat where I want to eat, and buy the "toys" I want. I take no shame in being a rational hedonist.
Some people claim that if you make a lot of money, you only care about chasing after more money, but I find it to be just the opposite. When you're financially secure, you don't have to worry so much about money, so you can focus your attention on something else. I certainly wouldn't turn down a raise, but I'm not chasing after the dollar either.

Money cant buy hapiness, but its a damn good down-payment.
Money helps you pay for doing the things you love, which in turn makes you happy.
If you work lots, for crap money, you dont have time to enjoy life and do the things that make you happy, because your working dead end jobs the whole time.

I am not a materialistic person.
I don't need a pile of money because I have everything I need in this life..
If by chance I did come in to a large amount of money, I would spend it to help others, perhaps open a facility for abused and neglected children..
I never pray for wants, only needs..

Yes. making more money will make me happier. I don't want to have to worry about my children's education/well-being. more money will secure my children financially. That is of utmost concern in my life.

i never try to keep up with the jones, i think that's silly, although most people strive for it and never admit it. they have to have this and that. not me. even when my family income was 20k for 4 people, we had everything we needed. we make more now and we have some extra things which is nice too. i am happy with our income and our lives, extremely happy

"Do you think it will make you happier?"
No, but it will do until something better comes along.
