Does Having lots Of Money ..the Most important Criteria for Happiness...??

I don't think that having "lots" of money is important. I think having enough is; enough to have a roof over your head and food in your belly, (and that of you children)... There are so many ways a person can reduce the amount of money they need, but can a person be happy with little or no love?

Hey numerator! I've said this before and I'll say it again and I'm sure I'll still say it many times more. "Money isn't everything, but it sure does make life easier." I do think that money helps a whole lot and that it is real nice to have lots of it. But I don't think that you should just focus your whole life making money or think of many ways to make more or earn more. I think that it really is nice to have a good job (where you can ear a lot) or put up a business to make more money but don't make your money making schemes that center of your life. Whenever I come across topics such as this, what comes to mind is this story or a lesson I've read a long time ago. It's a one liner that says, "A man sacrificed his health to make lots of money only to spend all of it in the end to have his good health back." For me, money is not the main criteria for happiness, it's a means to happiness. If you have a lot of money but you don't use it except for paying the bills because you are afraid to spend it for the fear of running out, is really not the way to go for me. If you have money, spend it.. enjoy it for you surely have worked hard for it. For me, being able to do the things I want, with the people I care and having to go to places I used to only dream of going, having my family and friends close by and never having to worry about bills and mortgages is one way to happiness. And all this is because of having money. But this is just me. ~
