It is often said that money cannot buy happiness.While this is certainly ture, poverty will not buy happiness either. Some people become very weathy, yet struggle to enjoy their lives. On the other hand, others manage to go through life with very few money problems simply because they are able to make the most of what they have. Ideally you should try to combine both wealth and hapiness. So what about your methohs?

Yes, that is such a dilemma. I must point out that money definitely can supply happiness, but not always. On the other hand, it can take you not a few things, like no leisure time and high pressure. So, in my opinion, the most significant is how to make money and happiness under your control, let them keep balance.

Rightly said friend Neither wealth can buy happiness nor poverty makes you happy. Striking the right balance between the both is the step for happiness and if you can create and maintain the right ratio we can be happy for ever but it is easy said then done .It's just next to impossible to strike the correct balance and if we could achieve it we would never be sad

Thanks for your comment! I think to be happy or not should depend the situation which you present. Sometimes maybe you are in a dillema, you go forward and you will get happiness but you may take somewhat loss. And you drop backward may bring sadness but you take on the duty on your shoulder. So I think it is hard to maintain a exact balance!

Happiness can not be bought by money, indeed, it's a kind of feeling. One can also get happiness by positive thinking. In my opinion, happiness is a feeling that everyone can own no matter how the situation is, you maybe healthy or not, maybe wealthy or not, but so long as you want to open your heart and enjoy the sunshine, happiness will come. But let me be honest, sometimes, money does have the effect, but it's not bought. It's the things that bought by money that make people happy. Yeah, i guess people tend to get new and good things, and then they'd open heart and think life's beautiful, and--they become happy. Happy is the most easiest while difficult thing Enjoy life~~

Thanks for your comment! I agree with your opinion. Happiness doesn't always go with money. But without money we can do very few things. So we also need some money to support our lives.
