Does having lots of money gurantee a happy life?

Having a lot of money does not guarantee happiness and peace of mind. Money is a material thing. It can only buy material things too. This sounds like a cliche but in reality,money really can't buy happiness, health,sleep and peace of mind. A happy life depends on how a person perceives or defines what a happy life is.

I do agree that money cant buy happiness...But i am sure you can create happiness with money. if you have money and use it selfishly this will not get you happiness....But you can use money creatively and for charity. This will definately make you and other happy.

Money has been everything now today in present world. But money can be bad either too. If u earn a lot of money you can stay haapy for some extent but not for long...All you need is satisfaction in your life and money cant satisfy you fully. Money cant buy everything it cant buy friends or love. so money shouldn't be given much more importance. A person running after money always falls. It depends on person to person how he/she values dat money.

I hope this quotation will enlighten you: "Money is not the key to happiness. But the more money you have, the easier it is to get the key made. " - Angelo D' Amico

Certainly not. I think people that do not have money I mean the people that are not rich think they will be happier when they have a lot of money but I think it is not like that. They will get their money and they will buy everything they need but what if something happens that cannot be fixed with money. For example what if someone get sick and cannot be cured. What if you have friends but they are not real, what if you have a house, but not a home? Money are important but not everything

having lots of money can make one rather happy as you can buy alot of things that you want. Or do things with the money one has. But the love of money can cause a lot of problems and relational stress. I guess the bottomline is to monitor our own attitudes on money.

hi rosebinas, no one can give guarantee for happy life is you have lot of money,lot of money also some what difficulty to main tain with the relatives,friends,theifs etc etc,to safe custody of the property ,we have to take some steps,and we have to put an eye on the realtives and others about our property,so happyness could not buy in the life,it will come through our behavior ,have a nice day

Money is neither good or bad. It all depends on what one does with it. So it is all up to each one of us. Used wisely, money does make one's life easier and happier. Used unwisely, it can bring us pain and sorrow. But happiness is not dependent on money.

It's the love of money that is the root of all kinds of injurious things. Money in itself is not evil, it is just a tool, or a means to an end. That being said, having money, or not, is not what will make anyone happy. The problem is how we approach having or not having. I couldn't help but notice that although you have started a great discussion here you have not joined in with those of us who commented on it. You will have a lot more fun, and success, if you respond and make each comment a true conversation. Welcome aboard and have some fun.

well maybe it is not 100% guaranteed, but maybe 75 % if i am not wrong. u know that everything can buy with money. i give an example. i feel so stress this week, i need to go out to get happy, buy some delicious food to make me feel better. if i don't have any penny, i would be feel more stress.that is the good news. the bad news that if u feel like u have power with money, so u would do anything to makes u happy even if it hurts other.

I don't think lots of money can guarantee a happy life. As far as I am concerned the very important thing in life is good health and money comes next to it. If you have good health you have all possiblity to become happy unless you are very poor. Every person has the interst to make money. When you don't have any single money in your account and you are not working you wish to have 100 dollars in your account. Hundred dollars is a huge amount for a person who starts working for the first time in his life. Once he achieves 100 dollars, he wishes for thousand dollars and it goes on. People always need more money than what they have and their wish never ends. So, I can't set a limit for money and never know when a person can say he has enough money.

Money will not guarantee you a happy but can protect you from the harm of working. I plan to achieve enough sucess concerning money in order to be able to live without working at all.

I don't think there's anything we do that doesn't require money now a days. If anybody will be given the chance to choose if he wants to be poor or rich, surely the answer would be the latter. The good side of money is that you get to buy and do all the things that you've dreamed of having. But the bad side is I guess some temptations like gambling, drinking and bad influences that come with it. So it's just a matter of keeping your head thinking, what is wrong or right, what is evil and good. Do add a lot of self-control also. Indulgences can be overpowering. Instead , if one has lots of money and doesn't know where to spend them, maybe they can give to the really needy ones or some reputable institutions.

money be good when we want to share it with people who really need it, and money can be bad when we grabbed it with the way is not true

Money may not buy you happiness but it can certainly make you want less. Look at some celebrities who seem to have everything and yet they are still unhappy with their lives. For me, money will be a means to make my life comfortable but not happy. My happiness is not dependent on something or someone.

Money is necessary for us to live in the modern world, to house, clothe and feed ourselves. However, lots of it doesn't necessarily mean that we are going to be happy. I know richer people who are constantly in a state of stress and worry. Money doesn't cause misery or happiness, it is just paper and coins. It is what people think about it that causes the problems. -Derek

Money does not gurantee a person happiness but money is something that we can't help wanting more of. After a person has grown up, they would know that to be comfortable in life, they would need to afford a home, food and entertainment. Then they learn that they are better off when they can afford better housing, better food and better entertainment. I think money is good because of all the material we obtain from money but we shouldn't be carried away because even with all money can buy, it is not the most important thing in life.

hahahaa!! i want money money money. i work hard for money money and money. LOL but i am very sure that its not a guarantee that if i have lots of money ill be happy with my life. for sure my life would be very complicated. im not asking for too much. all i asked from GOD is enough and sufficient enough for my family and to all our needs.

Money can not make one's happy....but, the happiness should come with in us. We should never run behind the money.

Having lots of money doesn't promise happiness but it sure "HELPS"! I think the problems financially challanged people are much more depressing yet people in this group somehow manage to laugh and smile sometime just from the simple things in life. The wealthy individual hass a completely different set of concerns . number one on their list is "KEEPING THEIR FORTUNE" and "ADDING MORE TO IT". Money is good when the person who has it is willing to not selfishly live their own "GOOD" life but be willing to share that fortune with others who are less fortunate by helping them get the education and skills to improve their station in life. Look for exmple at many of the world leaders both politically and in the commercial sectors who have "MONEY". Many of them came from very wealthy families and have known wealth from birth. These are our leaders who are suppose to have the public's best interest at heart. For example in my country, the government almost has a "stroke" the minute a bill comes across their desk for a raise in the mininum wage, or to give the veterans or retired people a yearly cost of living raise. Yet the rich can and do bale out the rich as in this latest world financial crisis. Yes it is nice to have money and it does make life a little easier but it in and of itself will not make you truly happy. What do you think?
