Do you prefer living a happy life ,or a rich life?

I'll prefer only happiness because if happiness is there I can achieve many things in my life.

ah.. I choose both!! A happy life IS a rich life! BearBallew

I want to be rich. Imagine, living in a comfortable house with your side door facing the beach. I want to be happy too! Everyone does. Being happy makes you rich because you enjoy life and there is a tendency that you earn well because you have positive attitudes. Being rich makes you happy too! Because you can have what you need in life and plenty left over to share to others. But what really makes a person happy is...knowing Jesus.

What good is having a bunch of money if you aren't enjoying it. I think happiness comes first, then the world is at your command. A lot of people say they will be happy if they have money, but I think that happiness is short lived. You go on the vacations and throw the parties, but then what? You have people that are your friends only because of your money and if you weren't happy in your relationships before, you aren't going to be happy just because you have a big spending limit.

hi there, it is definitly a happy life. perhaps everybody choose a happy life than a rich life bcoz as well money can solve some problems that's way it can creat some problems also. thanks.

Of course the logical answer would be a happy life.. but still, it's really hard to be happy if you don't have money. SO I think first I want a happy life, but I think a little money would help increase my happiness. =))

I am happy but I don't have that much money. I think there are few rich And happy at the same time.I would love to be both but I prefer to be happy most of all.

I have to agree on that. Some rich people got to be rich because they keep on making themselves busy at work but, leaving family behind. Children or even the spouse that gets left behind would try to understand that its because of business that their father/mother is busy, out there on a business trip or so on. However, without having that parent and child interaction surely affects the growth of the child as well as the relationship that they have. If I can very well go on with what I earn and we are healthy, I too would consider it to be something to be happy about. Being able to eat three meals a day with my family and having quality time together. I wouldn't exchange it for any amount either. (^_^ )

for me it's definitely got to be happiness. why would i want to be rich other than to be happy? the only reason why i can think of that people want to be rich is because they want to be happy. i believe that everything we do, the motivation is happiness. even revenge, people take it because it makes them happy. at least less unhappy, which is part of being happy. so it's definitely happy and i'd like to think i'm a happy person. cheers

Right know I am in a financial crisis state. My fridge is empty. I have to ask friends for money, that I don't know If I can pay back. I am totally not happy!!! If someone where to give me a million dollars, I would be the happiest person on earth!!! I could go to the health community and get the right exercises for my back. I could get therapy and my back won't hurt me as much every day. My health would improve. Believe me, without money, no one is happy! I can't pay my bills, can't go outside without being ashamed. I don't even now if I will still have my computer next month. Cannot pay for medical issues, they are too expensive. Be realistic, without money, we are nothing. I am not saying we have to be rich to be happy. If my kitchen is filled with food. I have enough toilet paper. I can pay all my bills on time. I would be the happiest person on earth. Until then I cannot be happy without money.

I am not rich at all. But I am happy. I would rather have my health,kids,family and God more then money. Most rich people are not happy. Money don't buy you love and happiness. I wouldn't want to be rich. But if I was rich I wouldn't spend money like the movie stars do or other rich people. I would give to help the sick,people who have cancer,kids to have good homes and not let kids be abused by people or there parents.

I am currently recovering from a partial knee replacement, we may be losing our home, my nephew is breaking up with his wife and has moved in with us and our thirty year old daughter will never leave for a life of her own because she was born with Down's Syndrome. Yet, with all this, I am happy and grateful for the beauty and wonder we have been given in our lives. More money might have saved the house, but I do not think it would necessarily make us happier.

Ofcourse I would prefer a happy life. Coz am not fool to decide against it. AB_Singh

I want a live where there will be enough money and happiness combined. I know both are needed in life. you can't do without another. I do not want to be very rich.

I am presently not rich and presently not happy. If I choose between happy life and rich life I choose happy and peaceful life. There is always a problem whatever you choose. In life you should be practical, only you can make you happy, if being rich is happy for you then you choose a happy life.Its you who can decide. Some rich people are full of problems but they choose rich because that can make them happy. It will be always depend on the people how they can have their happiness.

If I can have both the best. Happiness is one thing we cannot buy but most of the time money gives happiness. No one can be happy if no food in his mouth. So be ahppy, be healthy and be wealthy.

Well,i just make my ends meet everymonth,and i enjoy everyday,now i just plan to save money to travel somewhere i want ,i can't deny that rich life is not i want,who anyone didn't like the money.I just the one who making money and enjoying the life the same time.

I am poor happy person. Of course I choose a happy life. I think anyone originally has a simply wish.Once a rich person said " I have struggled for life for many years.I abandoned parents and regarded brothers as enemies.My wife was murdered.What is my purpose to get so much money? Whereas,I just want the moment like this occasion-having meals with family together." Money make people mad. Maybe when we got 100 million, we would change and lost ourself. But at last we all will remember our original wish. All in all,I feel happy now. Don't think too much.

A lot of people always say that money can't bring happiness but I'm not too sure about that. Coming from a background where I didn't grow up with a lot of money, a large sum of money would not only make my life easier it would probably make me a little happier. It would make me happier because I wouldn't have to worry about and stress over financial issues that I currently deal with in my life. I wouldn't have to worry about whether or not I'm going to get the right amount of financial aid to stay in school. I wouldn't have to worry about how my mom is going to find a new job or recover from her layoff. Money would quintessentially make my life lot easier and therefore make me happier. I think when people are raised in a family that has money, money is not a big deal for them. They have problems that poor people or the middle class couldn't necessarily relate to. I think that explains why we find wealthy people who are unhappy. On the contrary, many poor people or people who have to struggle to make ends meet have problems that can be fixed with money. in other words, being poor has it's own set of hardships which is often money. It's important to understand that money doesn't fix everything and shouldn't be traded for happiness. Money can fix somethings and when you come from a financially disadvantaged family it can be the difference between happiness and depression. Tell me what you guys think of this. -John
