how much money is required to live a happy life?

Answer 1

if you love and respect others you no need money at all

Answer 2

You will have to qualify what you mean by a happy life. Money does not buy happiness in a supermarket or a store.

I am unable to say because I dont think happiness is attached to related to money.

Find a young couple holding hands, laughing and sharing their moment of happiness starting a new life. They have nothing. Not even enough to buy a drink. But they are happy and willing to start a new life.

Sorry I dont know the answer to this one.

Answer 4

All depends on the money cost of what you need or want in order that your life may be happy. If you need to drive about in a Rolls Royce in order to live a happy life you need quite a huge starting amount of money and a constant very rich inflow of money in order for you to go on living your happy life. Also because all the other commodities of your happy life would be supposed to have to be of the same level (of a fresh Rolls Royce).

I personally need a very moderate monthly income so that I may pay the necessary expenses. My car is a 16 years old european model of the light-green bunker type (as my son calls it) and never costs too much for me. My home is a two-hundred years old country-side cottage requiring nearly no upkeep and its charm radiates most from its looking old and mild.

A couple of children may cost you a real lot of money, but you might teach them to live a simpler life, and buy simple things to them, and in that way you would not need to bother all too much about family costs. As for family, you might wisely rely on an income-earning spouse, as that would help your household money hugely.

Food may cost you much money, depending on where and how regularly you want to go for dinner and all that. I am happy if I can enjoy in the evening at home a great dish of spaghetti or pasta with preferably a white sauce, and a glass of new inexpensive italian table-wine, and so some simple meat twice a week. In order to solidly face a new day of my life I eat normally a large breakfast with eggs, ham, tuna, fruit and a glass of coffee and milk (three quarters coffee, one milk). All this is anyway probably quite cheap in money. My lunches are always very moderate, very light, else I would need a long siesta and not have much work done for the rest of the day.

I travel only if I have a formal errand, and I may travel down to a property that I inherited. And all that is anyway relatively cheap in money.

Clothes and shoes may be a problem, not because they may be expensive, but because I can never find twice that which I bought and was happy to use.

So, you might see how much money you can rely upon now and in the coming months, and so contrive a strategy of a happy life with it, astutely "cutting your coat according to your cloth", especially happily avoiding all the money debts that you possibly can avoid.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Among the fables of ancient Greeks there is that remarkable one attributed to lawgiver Solon who said that happiness can only appear in the end of one's life regardless of wealth and prestige. But this is just a philosophical answer. Simple notions like `happiness', `love', `anger' and so on have a certain ring of eternity, which would be impossible to measure through units.

Answer 6

If you have rich friends who can spend for you no money is needed to live a happy life.

Answer 7

Enough to live comfortably. But money can't buy you happiness. Even rich people get depressed, and I know lots of poor people who are happy and love their lives.
And I am NOT saying this because I am poor, I am actually pretty rich. But this does not mean I'm happy all the time, I'm only human.

Answer 8

You could have all the money in the world and still not find happiness or you could have absolutely nothing but find happiness through accepting and enjoying what you have.

Anything can stimulate happiness if you let it, I'm flat broke but manage to be reasonably happy.

Answer 9

None. you cannot measure real happiness, which is a state of mind, by money. Money is opposite of happiness. More money will bring more unhappiness.
"He is the richest, who is content with the least, for Contentment is the wealth of Nature" says Socrates, the Greek Philosopher.

Answer 10

better get as much as possible. that's what everybody is doing or trying to do. we are often reminded that money cannot buy happiness but money is very essential to create the conditions for happiness.

Answer 11

Just the amount required to meet the immediate daily needs for the survival--not a pie more nor a pie less.
