So, my conclusion, Money is very important, but it's not the most important key to happiness.
“Money, if it does not bring you happiness, it will at least help you be miserable in comfort.”
– Helen Gurley Brown
I've been very poor and I've been financially secure.
I'm not making an argument but rather stating that it's not always about the buck.
You can't buy a good relationship with your family, true friends and good health (in extreme instances) so it has no play or influence there.
I value family, friends and good health over an eight figure bank account; others may not and that is fine if they choose to live that way.
Something the rich tells the poor to keep them poorIs this just something jealous poor people say?
Why would you want a million dollars, I mean it doesn't even buy everything.
15 years ago?!?! DUDE! Thought you were younger, like in your twenties, thirties at most xDIt begs the question "what is happiness"? Does having loads of money and loads of stuff make you really happy? I dont think so. Once upon a time I had nothing, I was all but living on the street, I didnt have a penny to my name and I was only just able to buy food each week. But actually I was quite happy then.
Now I have quite a bit of money, lots of material things but I don't think any of that has made me happier - its just made me want more! Now I want a nicer car, a bigger house and everything I have just seems mediocre - but if I could give my past self all this stuff 15 years ago Im sure it would have absolutely amazed me.
