Happiness. If your not content does any of that other shit really matter?

You need money to survive and with extra cash you can do so many other things with it to be happy.

I agree. Too many people think of happiness being like a fairytale happiness. Money is the main way to have happiness. In all seriousness, if you are homeless (someone with no money to support themselves) then do people really think they have a chance at happiness or finding a partner to love? I think not.

Money may buy opportunities and conveniences, but what it can't buy is love, and the significance of others, and that's what makes us happy.

The question is simply what do you value more. Not what precludes or enables what. You say you can't find a partner or love wihout wealth, i suggest you kick that thought around a little more. If you allow the extent of your possesions to dictate your happiness you're going to have a hollow life.

I don't think a feeling should be an option, especially happiness, since most people want money/respect etc, in order to be happy.

When you are young you think money will make you happy but later when you have enough, you will realise that it doesn't.
My hubby and I were at our happiest in our first home, when we had 2 cardboard boxes for a table and 2 fold down deck chairs. At one time we had no food except for a bag of flour, a few eggs and some milk. He made pancakes and we ate til we were sick laughing - never ate them since! We bought an old house to renovate and lifted floor boards to make bird boxes for family and friends as Xmas presents, coz we had no money.
Happiness is the smiles these memories bring - money couldn't buy them :o)

Health. Sometimes all the money in the world can't fix someone's health problem.

The thing I respect most is wisdom/shrewdness.
I hate the word wisdom though. So pretentious to say. "You are wise". Fuck off.

Health. How can I be happy when I'm dying? If you're dead you can't make anymore money either.

Money doesn't buy happiness, but it makes it a helluva lot easier to obtain.

"You can" being the main thing. It's highly unlikely someone would be miserable after receiving millions. They can do far more things than they ever wanted with the money they get.

I agree with ItDuz. With endless amounts of money, power, happiness and respect will come very easy (for the most part).
Health, you would have to put in a bit more work, but still be easier than if you were broke and depressed.Comment Hidden ( show ) -

Sorry if I'm being dense but what do you mean by "you can" being the main thing? And although money can get you a lot, it can also be the cause of misery. Quite a lot of millionaires can't handle it, when you have so much and money and it is longer an issue you might realise how meaningless it is, without anything genuine, like love. I know it sounds soppy, but I imagine becoming a millionaire would bring me no happiness, the fun for me is in the journey.
How do you think you would view money after being a millionaire for a little while, do you think it would have the same value as it does when you don't have any? I think it makes people reassess what's really important.

Meaning you can, as in not always. It's a possibility that you "can" be, but most people that have become millionaires that are unhappy are usually famous people, not rich people. My point is that it's possible, but not as likely as someone being happy with their money. For example, if someone is sad because people are poor, they can give most or all of their money away to those poor people.
Most millionaires that are sad are usually the people that are famous, not just rich. So the people that are usually depressed that are millionaires, are usually the famous. Which then can be added that it is their fame that causes most of their depression.Money pretty much equals power.
Some people (including me) thinks that to find out who someone really is, you give them the power to do anything, so they show what type of person they really are. So by having money, it can give you the experience things like love can't; your true self.So quote Abraham Lincoln
"If you really want to test a man's character, give him power".Comment Hidden ( show )-

I was thinking of lottery winners who can't deal with it, which is quite common, and most of them keep their job. But that's quite an extreme case, since the person just gets money thrust upon them, but it's still a valid point.
And as for you're thoughts on power showing our true self, I'm not sure:S On one hand I definitely see where you're coming from as it's completely testing your morality, how you act; it can change a person. But their true self I'm not sure. We all act in ways which we regret maybe due of power, but it's not all we are. I think I'll have to think about that one. But I agree with the quote, it is a test of a person's character.
But I still don't think money can give people happiness, it sounds very cheesy but I think love, friendship, art, nature and loads more things along those lines make people truly content. But then again, I can see why money would, I love having money, it opens up a lot of fun things.
