A lot of people nowadays have money problems. With the crisis and all, who wouldn't want to have loads of cash? But is money enough to solve all your problems and make you truly happy? I believe not. There are still some things, really precious ones, that money cannot buy like love, respect and trust.

True, money does not solve all problems BUT it can be used responsibly to make life a little easier. It can also be used to help others if one is generous. Money cannot make us happy but it can help, if money is used in a purposeful way. Money cannot buy everything but try to buy something without money. So if you have plenty send some my way. I promise to use it not only to benefit myself but to benefit others as well.

Not really , But till now ,money can solve most of my problem ,and money can really bring me truly happy . For example , when my salary is rised I feel really so happy ; when I get a really favourite clothes which is very expensive and I cann' afford it before ; when I travel to a place and donn't bother to find cheap restaurant ,at this time ,I really find that money is a good thing , it can meet my need . But if I have quarrel with my husband ,nothing can make effort ,except time .Oh, money cannot buy time .That's it !Don'tyou think so .

You are correct !! Money is nice to have but is not the most important thing in life and will not solve all ones problems . Money can only buy or pay for things one wants or needs but money can not buy you love , it cannot buy you friendship , health or happiness . There are many rich people in the world who are just as miserable as those with no money , just for diffferent reasons . You can come across a family who has no money at all but they are very rich in the love they share with one another and the love they share for family and friends . They may have to worry about how they are going to pay their next bill but they know they have support from others who love and care for them whereas one who has lots of money may only have friends because of the money , they may not have a family that cares as much or as deeply as the family with no money and no matter how much money they have it cannot buy them there health if they are sick . Money will not buy your respect as respect is something that has to be earned .

I never forgot this song by Biggie, Mase and Puff Daddy(or P Diddy)called "More Money, More Problems" meaning that yeah, I got money, I can pay my bills, I can do things I only dreamed of, but at the same time, folks know I got money and they want a piece of my action. The IRS want a piece of it, relatives are ringing my phone off the hook for it, folks I don't know want it and out of all of that, I can see how folks get money but get into schemes and such and it don't work out whatsoever and they end up broker than they ever had.

Money can partly make you happy. but not always. I still believe that the best things in life are free.

Yes Money is a problem nowadays,but money can't make you always happy.Money can't buy love and happiness.Money can make you happy for a while but happiness in your heart can't be bought.

Money can not buy you happiness. Sure, it can make you happy for awhile - but, what do you do when it runs out? Even if you're filthy rich, you still can't be happy. You'll find people who claim to be your friends just are because the moneys there. Let that money disappear and watch how many of them do, as well. They say money is the root of all evil - and I think I have to agree with it. There's also a lyric that goes 'the more money you have, the more problems you have' (or something like that, lol), which is very true. I think even if I could have loads of cash - I wouldn't want it. I'd want just enough to help my family get by. Just enough to keep on living, you know?

No way. I got quite a large settlement a while back and the whole time I felt"rich" I was miserable. Now that I'm back to work, I am much happier. Life is more meaningful. Money makes people shady an attracts some real winners. Don't get me wrong, I miss the lifestyle but happiness, no, that comes from being a productive member of life.
