Many people choose money as their first goal in their lives ,
they dont care about other things at all .
to me ,money is important ,but it doesnt mean anything to my life ,
if i made less money each month ,
I think I will still feel happy

Money is important, but not the most important thing. Health and happiness are imporant. My husband and I are not rich by any standards, but were have good health and we are happy. We live in a very nice and comfortable home becuase we worked hard and don't have a mortgage or any credit card dept. We only buy things we can pay cash for. We do not take lavish vacations, or spend a ton of money on eating out. We eat well, but we eat well at home. We don't live on a lot of money so I don't know how happy we would be with even less...

Well, if I do not have money, I have to abnegate a lot of things that make me feel happy in live. I can not go shopping, having delicious food in restaurants... maybe even can not surfing in the internet. Can I still be happy when I do not know if I have enough money for next meal? I am afraid not...

I don't know.. you know, money is very important in order to live a happy life.. without it, i don't think people can survive.. how can a person be happy if he/she doesn't have anything to eat? how can an ill person be happy without money to sustain his/her medical needs? how a person be happy if he/she doesn't have money to pay for his/her tuition fee?

Yes I will still be happy without money because I really don't have all that much money right now and I'm still a really happy guy most of the time. I think that way too many people spend too much time worrying about money and trying to gain success through earning a bunch of money. I don't think that having a successful life should be defined as having a great job and earning a bunch of money but rather how happy you are and how happy you make other people's lives. Happiness and joy should be our focus instead of earning all this paper and trying to get all these material possessions. Beacause they are all just things and people and experiences should be cherished more then stuff.

well for me too my first goal was money and it is even today but i never forget humanity in front of money. Actually i can live happily even if i don't have money and no person around me. i just remember on of my friend who is very dear to me ,she has always helped me whenever i have asked her to help me.

I'm not sure exactly how to put this. LOL Lets just say, that right now, i'm definitely not making as much as I could be with my degree, but I'm satisfied. I'm able to survive, pay my bills, and still have fun. I'm happy with this. Would I love to be making more money? OF COURSE! Who wouldn't? But I don't stress over it.
Now in the next few months I will be quitting my job in order to move with my fiancee (will then be my husband!!) most likely out of state. I will probably be quite stressed out without the money flow, until I get a job. Unfortunately money means a lot in this world. And well if you don't have any - you can't buy food, pay bills, etc. etc. and how you could still be happy then? I don't know!

well my ultimate goal in life is to be happy i think that is everybodies goal and if you should have money to be happy then by all means you need money, you could say that you need money to buy stuffs that will make you happy but i can live without it.
