I have to disagree and say that you are not looking at it from the right direction. Money can buy a new kidney. Money can buy politicians who regulate your business. Every successful person knew that there was something better then their current situation and went out and got it.

How do you come to this conclusion?

If you're broke, you can't afford food and basic necessities so therefore your health suffers. Even if you make a little amount of money, you can only afford cheap, low quality food which also has adverse effects to your health.

If you make a lot of money, you can afford higher quality, natural, organic food, vitamins, and other nutrients to keep you in good health. You can also afford to go to the Dr. if something happens to you that needs medical attention.

As far as freedom, if you don't have money to live off of, you will be forced to go and get a job that you will most likely hate and there goes your freedom. You can't take vacations when you want because you have a boss to answer to and if you're poor, you can't afford them anyway.

So please don't say that money can't buy health or freedom because it can.
 
this is right here is a real thread. I contemplate the money and happiness question everyday
 
@OP: You need counseling not money. Anyone whose priority in life is being a millionaire needs help. Serious help.

@ everyone else who's arguing about money buying happiness. Y'all sound like the juveniles you probably are who have little life experience. Before you start claiming money can or will "buy" happiness, you need to define happiness.

If happiness is defined as the freedom to come and go as you please, to only answer to yourself, to be able to support yourself and your family, to buy things you enjoy, travel, dine, buy nice cars or clothes etc, than yeah, money can buy it.

However, if you're a miserable human being, without money who seems to be lonely and unhappy with himself and life in general like the op seems to be, you're just going to be rich and miserable with gobs of money.

The world has been filled with millionaires or billionaires who were miserably lonely people.
The name Howard Hughes comes to mind.
Or maybe Elvis Presley
Or Kurt Cobain

@op again: Look at my sig. Learn it, Know it, Live it.
Happiness starts within and begins with loving yourself.

The world is a messed up place. Very few people are willing to help you in this world, and most that are, have problems of their own. I want to be able to look out for myself, my friends and my family. On top of that, I want to be a positive member to society and to go one step above that I want to provide for those less fortunate. I'd like to eventually be able to fund charities for third world countries focusing on agricultural development and/or distribution of vaccines we already have cures for.

There are more important things in life than money. I would be happy with enough money so I don't have to worry about it! :)
 
Not that I have much at the moment, money is very important to me. Thats why I'm always conspiring methods to make some!
 
I enjoy the freedom money affords me. The luxuries that relieve my stress, and those around me. Not the end all, though.

Come to take my money? Here you go, you can have it! Come to take my wife or my family? It would be the last thing you ever tried while you were alive.

Funny how the things around you cost money. But family and friends? They were free.

You can't support that family without money though. Sure you might have them, but without money they won't have food, a home to live in, clean water to drink, warm clothes, etc.

I understand what you're saying, but if you can't provide for your family because you have no money, I don't think you or they would be very happy people at all.
 
money is important if I get to do the things i want...I have friends who are working hard to have a 6 fig salary when by the time they are 30 but these guys work 10-14 hours a day that just to buy a nice car(benz, bmw, etc), have a future soccer mom wife, and to buy a nice house they will never enjoy

Me, id be content with 40-50k doing IM(hopefully i make more).. meaning i can work from wherever i want and when i want and as hard as i want. Id be able to do all the cool things i want..I have a friend that went to law school, he did it for the money. he now realizes he will have the 6 fig contract when he is done but he wont be able to ejoy his money cause he will be working 50-70 hours a week. Whats the fun in that

But it can. How many celebrities or millionaires have you heard of not going to jail or being number 1 on a donors list? Maybe money can't buy health but it can sure buy the people that will give it to you.

Touche'. But when it comes down to it, if decision day was here and it wanted either my wife/family or my money . . . I'd hand them my wife.

KIDDING! Sure sounded better than the truth, though. But then again, I know a lot of people that really would have handed over their wife/family.

Awesome post.

Money DOES buy happiness. But money itself should not,
because few people are ever satisfied with how much
they make regaredless how much money they have.

Instead, money buys CHOICES. It buys FREEDOM. it buys
TIME. It buys more SEX. It buys more TIME to spend with
more FRIENDS. It buys time to spend with FAMILY. It buys
ADVERNTURES. It buys TRAVELS. It buys...

EXPERIENCES.

Experiences you can NOT get for free like sky-diving, para-
gliding, scuba-diving, roller coaster rides, carnivals, etc...

experiences you would naturally put off because you HAD
no money, now you CAN because you have money.

Not only that, but you can share those experiences with
others you love and care about to enjoy a slice of life few
people are fortunate enough to enjoy before their time is
up on earth.

That, besides many of the free things you CAN do with
friends and family, enhances life and experiences which is
what ultimately makes life worth living.
 
There isn't enough money in the world to BUY what truly makes me happy.
 
I have a ton of family and friends that are way more important to me than money. If I had the choice to choose between my family/friends or $1 billion dollars Id choose family first in a heartbeat. I do love money though and am working hard to get more and more of it. That money will then be used to create even more memories and experiences with my family.
 
The "money doesn't buy happiness" thing is technically true. Yes, money can aid in attaining happiness. There is 110% NO DOUBT about that, but it cannot buy happiness in the true definition of the word happiness. Those of you who believe that happiness is achieved by buying the most vacations and sky-diving the most times and parasailing have a very skewed definition of "happiness".
 
i don't care about money.. i just care about having a good life.
 
1st health 2nd family 3rd money 4th school I GOT IT ALL!
