Money Buys Happiness?


Recommended Posts

Ok maybe i'm the strange one.. Maybe i'm the one with a warped mind. Maybe its the way my parents brought me up? I DONT KNOW! but why am i sorrounded by people, where all they want in life is TO DO IS LEAD THESE COMPLICATED LIVES BEING RICH? i dont understand it... I would rahter see myself in 20yrs Living in a middle class neighborhood with healthy family.. THEN in an upper class Rich area with Money to keep me company.. IS IT ME, OR ARE SO MANY OF THE PEOPLE OUT THERE SO MATERIALISTIC!???

I WOULD RATHER HAVE TO WORK 12HR DAYS AND LIKE VOLUNTEER IN A CHILDRENS HOSPITAL ON WEEKENDS KNOWING I BROUGHT A SICK CHILD A SMILE, in hopes he wont end up as materialistic AS THE REST OF THE PEOPLE OUT THERE! AM I THE ONLY ONE???? Like my DREAM IS TO BE a famous singer someday, NOT FOR THE MONEY! HONESTLY IF SOME producer came to me RIGHT NOW, and asked me to sing a vocal for free I WOULD SO DO IT, JUST TO KNOW THAT SOME PERSON OUT THERE MIGHT LIKE IT, SOME GUY IN HIS CAR IS TAPPIN HIS FINGERS ON HIS STEERING WHEEL.. SOME WOMEN IS IRONING HER CLOTHES FOR WORK.. AND MY SONG PUT A SMILE ON THERE FACE.. MY DREAM IS TO WALK INTO A CLUB.. AND SEE THE PEOPLE GOIN CRAZY DANCIN TO MY SONG!... IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME? SOMEONE PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME i could be wrong i'm only 20.. i have alot to live and learn.. cwm34.gifcwm34.gifcwm34.gif

Money may not buy happiness, but it buys a damn good time trying.

Spoken as someone who has seen rich, poor, and everything in between in 23 years.

What happens is you have all these materialistic things around you that you shouldn't be enjoying them because of what you always believed, then finally you say to yourself, wait- I AM worth these things (you might even justify that you've waited so long without these things that maybe you should try them.

THEN you like them. THEN you say "I derserve them...

Then you come to expect them.

I don't think money buys you happiness. My dad won the lottery 4 years ago. I don't think that effected my overall happiness at all. Like, yeah we maybe live in a nicer house, but I don't think my dad is much happier either. Just a few years ago he got diagnosed with diabetes. And I could tell that he's not as happy as he used to be. I think money can make your financial status more comfy, but it doesn't make your life happier.

I've seen poor people flourish...I've seen the rich crumble. Everyone has problems. The poor perhaps can't pay the phone bill. The rich get the Jaguar confiscated for being pulled over with an ounce of cocaine on the seat.

Me? I prefer to be intelligent. When you're intelligent you get what you want whether you're poor or rich. If you're intelligent, you will find a way to pay that phone bill. If you're intelligent, you wouldn't be driving your Jag all coked up.

Then again, everything's got a price tag---I can be bought! I vote for Rich!!!!!

You make due and create your own lifestyle around what you have. My goal is to just be comfortable and live well. Of course it would be nice to have more money and buy better things for myself but I'm happy being middle-class in America. I mean I'd love to drive around a Lexus but I'm content with my Mazda. cwm9.gif

do you ever think that you're not materialistic because you already have pretty much everything you want? sure, you'd rather have a bigger apartment, or more designer clothes in your closet, but pretty much, you can buy or do whatever you really want. i'm not saying, think about third-world kids starving, because i'm not the world's most socially responsible person myself. but do consider that if you couldn't afford luxury and entertainment, you'd be a lot less happy if you knew what you were missing. consider also: maybe, just maybe (but you don't know), you'd be infinitely happier with 100x your current wealth

for myself, i'm going to get excessive wealth so i can then decide whether or not i want it. besides, my happiness comes from attaining those things i desire

No matter what, money is an important aspect of anyone's life. How important depends on the indivual.I got alot of pleasure by getting a brand new car, but did it actually make me a happier person?Not really, or maybe just for a little while. You seem to me to have great values, but it isn't evil to make a living. If we all didn't have atleast a little bit of selfishness we cannot meet the requirements of a suffient living conditions.The people who value money the most may be the ones who make the most, but they will also be the ones most crushed by losing it.
