I wonder if these people gates,Sam Walton or other super rich are really happy with their lives or perhaps they long for something else in life for example more time to enjoy life and not always rushing and with a lot of stress as I am sure they have, but on the other hand they can enjoy wahtever money can buy.Would you be happy just having money but with a lot of other needs?

Im not gonna lie it would be awesome to have all that money, I would have evrything I wanted in life BUT my happiness..So therefore I WOULD NOT want all that money if I could not enjoy my life. Money is good and can take you to places you would have never even dreamed of being But it can also bring alot of other problems as well, like you would have all these people claiming to be your friends but are they really your friends or are they being friends with you to mooch off you? You would always have that in your head. Money is good but if I couldnt enjoy any of it then I wouldnt want it!

good point, the problem with these people is that they really don´t have true friends ´cause everything is related to money.

Yes its true money can be bring out the worst in people let alone your friends. To me there is no point in having all that money if I could not enjoy it. But I have to say Bill Gates does alot of charity work giving back to schools across the world, he and his wife donate alot of money and time to making schools better for the kids of the future.

I think NO. I don't want too much money but we can't deny it that we really need money. You can enjoy life without it but I think it's hard to survive nowadays without it.

I would have to say no. What is the point of having all of that money if I do not have the time to enjoy it? I would rather be poor AND happy then rich AND miserable. It must be nice to have a lot of money but it is not the most important thing in the world. My health and happiness are much more important!

I think that if you have lots of money you rarely have the time to enjoy it. I have a friend who owns his own airline, has mega bucks but yet is he really happy? He's in a marriage of convenience, has no time to enjoy life or anyone to enjoy it with, everything is work, work, work. He owns a Ferrari but never drives it. What is the point of having money if you cant enjoy it? I dont have a lot, in fact only just enough to pay the bills, but I do get out there and enjoy my life, and that doesnt always mean I have to spend money. spending time with my friends is much more important to me that having lots of money. Im not saying my life wouldnt be easier with lots of money, of course it would, but to me its not everything. id rather be happy and poor than rich and miserable.

I totally agree with you, what´s the point in having so much money but really no time to spend it? i heard that this people generally have very troubled lives, they suspect of everyone including their own family i used to think that I wanted just money no matter what, but now I changed and prefer to live a normal and not stressed live.
