do you need money to be happy??

Money is a very very essential part of ones life. Its impossible to think of a life without money. Especially in todays world, all the relations are becoming dependent on money.The more money one has, the more friends and people he/she has around. However, money is still not EVERYTHING in life. Money can help you buy luxuries but cannot give you peace of mind and happiness. Just as they say, you can purchase a lovely cosy bed with money, but cannot buy sleep. Moreover, if you have to choose between true love and money then i think one needs to choose true love cos you can earn money being together with your love.However, you cannot get true love with the money that you have.

I don't think money brings happiness. I have to admit, I probably would be less happy if I was really struggling to pay the bills, etc. However, I definitely think that what really makes a person happy is faith, family, friends, love, etc. I think that a person could have all the money in the world and still be miserable. I hope to always have enough money just to be comfortable and support our family, but I would definitely never choose lots of money over love.

no i don,t need money to be happy but some people do i have seen it many times.it don,t matter if iam rich are not i like to enjoy like to the fulliest.rich people are depressed because sometime money can,t buy people,love,happyness.

Money for me is Life that sometimes bring us to curse. Nowadays practicality complex is in our notion. In today's generation you could not say you are happy either without the presence of money, You could not go to party, picnic, movie, outing, etc without spending. Money is really on the front list of living, what can we say about world financial crisis? These things resulted to unemployment and hunger. Problematic and depressed country without money, people will do such crimes just to get something reward. That is money is everything.

well,it's really hard to say .Money is so important but it can not offer us all the happiness. Just to be a happy and wealthy person is the best ,haha

money isnt everything in life, but surely its something you cant live without...

I don't think you need to have money to be happy. You can have picnics for an afternoon date, have friends over for dinner and a movie or board game that you already own. I am the happiest when I am sitting with my boyfriend talking or watching a movie at home.

I live a frugal lifestyle, in comparison to most people in my peer group. I do it willingly. Material goods are really just not that important to me. My needs and the needs of my children are always met and that is critical. We do have our occasional "splurges" for fun but they are infrequent. My daughters are spoiled on their birthdays and Christmas but I don't spend a steady stream of cash on them for clothing, makeup, shoes, etc. If they ask for something, I know that it is important to them - and will almost always get it for them. However, they have admitted that they are proud to have learned how to shop conscientiously, learning to compare prices and understanding what to look for in terms of quality. We are very happy. While I certainly believe that money makes life easier, I don't believe it makes it happier.

I don't think so, there are rich people who's still seeking for happiness even they have lots of money already. We all know that money is important to our daily lives, to pay our bills, loans, our daily needs, etc... Money can be easily gone in our life but you can't buy the HAPPINESS that you want to have in your life.

I dont think you need money to be happy, but it sure helps. I would like to have enough money to have fun with. It is not essential but it is a really good thing to have and to be able to use as you see fit. I like having money but it is not the be all and end all of life.

You are true when you say that you don't have to be rich to be happy. We know that money can help you buy the things you need, but that does not stop there, People don't know how to be content that is why the definition of happiness depends on how people define it. Money can be use into many good things too, as long as you don't be the slave of it. You have to be controlling it and not to love it, subdue it. Before i thought when you have everything, you can be happy in life. But it's not. Only God has the ability to give you your true happiness and meaning in life.
