Happiness is always paramount, unfortunately in this material world, we seem to think that happiness can be derived from money. Having enough to satisfy your basic needs and a little bit of comforts is enough of money to satisfy me.

For some people money and happiness go hand in hand. I feel that money is important but not enough to sustain happiness. Sure, I like money. But without your family and friends money isn't always everything.
I sometimes think that people get too caught up in materials and forget about the important things in life like our loved ones and other things that need to be attended to.

If I told you that people without money have continued happily, would you belive me? If you let be it your drive in life, it could lead to emptiness. It is not my road to travel. I can tell you that your environment can influence you soo much. It makes money worth living for. Believe me, money can be a root of evil. It can be tricky to spot at first but somehow I know you get part of what I'm talking about. Try holding a coin, does it make you happy? No, the thing is useless without more. MORE! MORE!
More than enough is greed.

It is sad to see beggars but this aren't the only people considered poor. This is a material world. If having the viewpoint of a beggar, which would make you happy recieving million dollars or recieving an honest gesture of care and going home to people you love? Happiness can be a lot of things. It can even mean that money for you is happiness. Money is practical. It is a source of livelihood. It is not the most important thing. It is not the soul reason for living.
Why do you think in the movie happiness, the actor worked so hard for? The soul reason wasn't for money. It was for his kid and himself. He wouldn't gone through difficult situations if it wasn't for his family. I guess that you could find out for yourself. Build your career, pour your time in investing, dream big... It sounds good, I guess. It would be best to be balance. don't you think? Too much of anything is bad.

in my mind,people make money for living in the world,also for making happiness,they believe though money,they can get something to make them happy.so without happinese,money is nothing.then you know what I mean,we live in the world,we are struggle for the very simple happy life.money is just a tool to get near to it...
don't you think so??

In my opinion,happiness is more important.without an healthy body,whatever we have got is equal to nothing for us! I believe we must have happiness first,then we can use a good emotion to get money which we can't get when we are in bad mood!
I am a senior student and my English is not very good.. I hope i can make progress from this way(join the Mylot)

i think happiness is more important in modern society. my family is middle class ,i mean my house is not very rich or very poor so i can not understand the feeling of the poor. maybe money is more important to the poor. but happiness is more important to me.

Hello,BISU! Money can't buy happiness.But in modern civilization money is important for the people.they run after money restlessly and accumulate money at any cost,may be by unfair means and get tensed in the process.so what is the use in possessing such ill got money.earn fairly just for your comforts and be happy and avoid accumulation of money by unfair means.thanx.

Our Wish
I feel "OUR WISH" to have how much of money balances the happiness and living.
Wish is the basic for living.If you wish money for living and then you can live happily. If your wish for more money, then your life will go on counting the money rather than spending happilly with that.
So wish less spend more to your need and live happily.

Do not laugh at me.But I really think money is more important for me.I can do lots of things with money.Today I bought a bag ,which cost me 188RMB.I like that bag very much. But as a student, it was too expensive to me.But if I have more money, I will buy it without hesiate.So I choose mony.

In my opinion, happiness is more important. But in nowdays we cannot live without money. I think money is necessary for you to live in this world. Money is the basic element, if you say that your life is full of happiness but you don't have money, I don't think that is true. I don't need too much money, just enough to maintain my life, that is OK. Then the most important thing is to pursue the happiness that is belong to me.
