im really pissed because this is what a person said to me :
it is true that money doesnt buy happiness, but it gives u access to buy the things that can make u happy
basically hes saying money makes him happy! if he was a billionaire he said he would bereally happy! am i stupid for finding this annoying? its just that ive always believed that material goods are nothing, their just temporary... i believe in sharing love (if it exists?) and happiness with others, cuz really materials can be lost broken etc out emotions can never be stolen or lost, what kind of happiness is that, oh no ive lost my top that made ma happy!
god sometimes i thik what has the world come too... everyone wants to have money be famous and rich, all i want is someone to love me and just enough to get by... its actually my dream just to be living by enough and marry a guy who loves me for what i am... people are so obsessed with money!

Money doesnt mean anything to me, for me its just a piece of note.
Money can buy only few things which can make you happy for a short period, BUT NOT FOREVER.
My answer to you is,,, Money is nothing but without money there is nothing.
I hate people who always concentrate on money, i hate people who wants & loves to have loads of money be famous and rich etc... & show off!!! ewwwwwww!!! i hate them allot!!!
All i want is for the people around me to share love each other always, so that can make you happy than anything.
:)

Do not allow someone else's thoughts and beliefs to bother you because this is theirs not yours. The majority of the world thinks like this man. Money is the number one god in the world next to power. Many people worship money and their whole world revolves around money. We all need money to live in this world and God knows this but never is it to become our god. Unfortunately most of the world usurps money over God. They truly believe it is the key to everything. Money can buy a false peace and false happiness, it does no good when one gets a bad report from the doctor, it does no good when the kids are strung out on drugs, it does no good when the family is being torn apart. Some of the wealthiest people in the world are the most miserable because they have no peace and are constantly living in fear because they are worried about their money. When death is at the door the money means nothing. God is not against people having money but He is against it taking His place. The world is going in the direction that it is supposed to go and it is right where it is suppose to be. It is not going to get better because it is not suppose to. Every person is going to have an account to God for how they used what He has given to them. Pray for the man, set an example for him instead of getting ticked off at him, and pray that God will not let you fall into the same trap of deception because no one is exempt.
America's god is money and I personally believe that in order for God to get this country's attention He is going to hit the pocket book and only then will people recognize who owns the money and what their real need is. Those who know Jesus will be prepared but those whose god is money will fall apart.

money is necessary for living no doubt. 2ndly, more money more wishes. and money cant buy things like love, care, health, family, peace of mind, friends etc
so basically if money is in ur life, very good but if it isnt and u go for money at the cost of above list then it wont make u happy.

Money is nothing to me.
My wealth is my virtues and that is my real assets.
Yes I work hard to get myself and my family going as per my need, not more. If you have more it is a fitna, an illness that eats you away from inside and makes you lazy in the eyes of God.

Money means that I might be able to have more opprotunities. I could do things that make me happy: travel, do things with family and friends, live well. But it also comes with loving material things. A sin. I don't think money is important. You can't be happy without God, family and friends...money sure is going to cut it.

Money does not buy you happyness, it just gives you more stress, i was rich once 6 houses, lots of money but i was unhappy, i lost everything throught currupt solicitors and judges, i have nothing now but i am happy now i went to mosque and thanked allah for my good health and mind, believe in allah, not money or cars or houses. Allah gives you everything. To me love means more to me then money.

I think there are bound to be the few shallow people in this world that like money because it gets them the temporary joys they crave for selfish motives. However, they seem to learn later on that they (ironically) invested in the wrong things.

americans live in a capitalist society. social class is one of the few core constructs that govern our lives. to say money has little influence would be to lie. of course, people who obsess over money, or completely deny its influence (those pesky outliers) are living in fantasy. money can change moods. happiness is difficult to define, and is a subjective term.

eventually money means nothing,
yes, we can buy things that make us happy,
but do you think bill gates is any more happy with 80 billion dollars than he was with 70 billion?
i would think i'd be happier with more money, but i'm making the mean per-capita income for my state, and i'm only 23.
depends on how much you have as to how much "more" would change your life...

Why do you care what makes other people happy? As long as it isn't directly affecting you let them be happy however they want.
Are you stupid? Maybe. But you're definitely wasting your time worrying about it.
This is one of the biggest problems with humans in general is they can't be happy unless they're trying to make everyone else just like them.
"all i want is someone to love me and just enough to get by" Maybe you should spend more time on that and less time worrying about what you think others 'should' be doing.
