Hey, the question I ask myself a very long time and I wanted to hear your opinion. It concerns me because my parents have very little money, something I've already had everything, no light, no heating, etc., but I have many friends who are always there for me, they are my family and although I wish I eg may simply want to buy something or I just sometimes I can have a super great food, I feel totally happy and satisfied prop, and that's a super nice warm feeling when my friends show me they love me. So, are the one person believes only in expensive clothes and lots of money and power can be truly happy?

sure, they can be happy! It is not about money, it is about how you get along with people in your life. Whether you have no money or you have, you can be happy if you have people around you who loves you and you love them back. And it is very easy to be happy when you have money. You can buy anything that will make you happy.

Hi,
I admit, the money can make me happy, but not just money that makes me happy, there are other more important things, a lot of money without a family is very sad.
Have a nice day

yes, I agree. Family is much more important than money but sometimes we can't help but feel sad if we have no money at all even we have family.

We all know that money can do a lot of things around us under the sun. Simply it gives satisfactions to us in time of needs. It gives also happiness to those who are needy and others who are hungry for money.. But it doesnt give complete happiness or the true happiness in our life. Money only for earth and not into eternal life. Because heaven is for those who seeks true happiness.. and money is for temporary on earthly needs.
One more thing some are contented on money they have and they forget others and this is really sad. I am not having lots of money and i am also needy one especially today that all of my debts are waiting. A moderate use of money is better than having a problem in it.

Fortunately it does not! But I see myself in my family do not have much money to make money but life was already much more carefree!
It's bad that in here are people who do not know how to pay their bills or get the fridge! In the long run it already gnaws at the mind and health!
So, as I said, it's not happy (which it needs other things in life), but it would help many people even if they only measly two, had three hundred euros more!

Hi,
Well, there is a question from me, whether people will be happy with debt?

I also grew up in a very poor family. But what my mother gave me to nest warmth, confidence and trust, I would want to exchange money in the world with the brand name clothes or charcoal of my classmates. Yes, I used to wear, yes, I had for various trinkets no money - but I can tell you one thing: it has made ??me his confident, strong man who can stand on its own legs - unlike many of my classmates which - sometimes almost immediately after graduation! - Got married, got kids and one of the dependency (the parents) in the next addiction (the man) went. Always with the statement "in the country so be it" (note - I am in my mid 30 and not 50 or so!).
Money does not buy happiness - it does worry you and gives you freedom of movement, but neither it comforts you when it goes bad you still makes you sick, it still warms you ...

about the philosophy of happiness have been very different, more competent people made ??thoughtful!
if you, by the bestowal of your friends you feel happy, you do not need the other stuff!
- But sometimes you should ask why your buddies do it for you? - Compassionate?
- What you give back to them?
a so-called religious leaders who once said that "giving is more blessed to give than," or something like that - but of course, is easier to take than give.
- Think about it! - And ask 'how long the times you can still go well?

Hi,
One thing is for sure, I am happier if I could provide something useful to others than just received from others.

I think having a lots of money is not the real reason to be happy,me I don't have a lots of money either my family,but I consider myself happy, maybe because we are all healthy and don't have that big problem, and that's enough for me.sometimes those people that have a lot of money have more problems also, we just don't notice because they are surrounded by great and expensive things.

Hi,
Well, like what you say, I agree with that. Money does not always mean to keep parts of the problem.

More money doesn't always mean more happiness. There are people with lots of money, some celebrities but they have lots of problems. The main thing is not how much money a person has but how they use it. Also, there is the issue of contentment; how much money is enough. Do you have to be a millionaire, a billionaire to have enough money to be happy or you could do with much less. I think that is for the individual to decide.

Hi,
Yes, love is more precious than money, then what about other cases, where money can buy love (although fake love, perhaps), or can love go perfectly with no money?
Have a nice day

kendedes I think that happiness depends on the person involved a lot of us have just the bare necessities but we have so much love in our families we are still happy. Money is a necessity but extreme wealth is not. wealth of love and caring is the wealth that makes us all happy. Money is a necessity but has to be used wisely with love and caring else its just paper or metals.wealthy people who love their families and each other can be happy but so can poorer people as money is not what makes them happy anyway.

Hi,
Yup, the money will bring happiness if used wisely, while money can make us forget about the meaning of happiness if we can not use it.
Have a nice day

Money can bring about happiness but it is not an assurance that every one who has money or wealth is happy. Happy is a state of the heart and it will all depend on how much the person appreciates what he has. There are those with little and yet they are contented and happy while there are those who have a a lot and have even more than they need and yet they are still discontented and unhappy. So I'd say not all people with wealth are happy while on the other handthere are those who do not have wealth and yet they are.

The money itself does not happy, but you have money with more opportunities to be happy. If you for example must work hard every day in a call center in inhumane conditions and in the evening with sore and whistling ears goes home and has only a low wage, which is just enough for rent and food, then you definitely no chance to be happy.
Someone who has a lot of money is not forced to have to work to survive. My landlord has e.g. a lot of money. She works more than one-half day a week when they meet their asset managers, and to listen to the weekly report of the managing agent. Otherwise she does what she wants, sleep late, go to the gym, meet with friends. Spends weekends with the family in a cottage on Lake Constance. Then she is involved in clubs and studied music from the fun of it. Although it is not particularly talented, but with their money, they can occur almost daily teacher who can teach her piano and singing. She is happy because they can determine their own lives and that can do what she likes. She spends most of the winter in the Caribbeans or in Cuba, where they each have holiday homes.

Hi,
It may be true that people who have a lot of money does not have to work hard in his life, but another fact that many rich people who are still working hard to increase his money.

I think of it in terms of the opposite question: Can people of wealth and power ever be UNHAPPY?
Sure we hear alot of whining from the rich, like "everybody wants something from me" and "I don't know who my true friends are", but are they truly, truly, truly unhappy. Don't kid yourself, money DOES buy happiness, it just may not look that way because people will always find something to b*tch about no matter how well-off they are.

Does not necessarily mean you're rich, you and happy, although there may be both at the same time, even though such cases are rare bit. For example, money can not buy a reliable partner, can not buy friends (real friends) can not buy respect, at best fleeting fame can buy. You can be happy without being rich and, if you can listen to the "inner voice". And the last thing you say it ... money, never made ??by honest work, there are 2 versions, or you heritage money from someone and manage to put up a profitable business long term, or win the lottery which is very difficult.

Partly yes because they can get whatever they want. But only the material things. Like the song says that the best thhings in life are free is true. We can't buy true happiness. Friends who are there even if we don't have plenty of money are satisfying.

Happy interpreted differently by each person. For people who have no money, having money means happiness. For the sick and healthy are happier. For people who do not have any friends, happy is when having friends. And there are many more happy, according to each person. Real happiness, depending on each person.

Money can not buy love and security. We also do not have much money, we also need to be not happy. There is such and such can not believe that you can answer it. Someone once told me that this world is only on money's from. Well, when I look at some so true d s. Some can certainly be happy with money.
I also have the experience to make lots of money alone can know, since someone.

in all of us is different.
I think that having money is not wealth but most importantly is necessary.
because without money you can not have peace and a break from everyday stress.
But I can say that happiness is not money.
If you noticed most people who have a lot of money in most cases they are unhappy or ill.
I think to be happy you have a family that is up to you in difficult moments.
Well also need money but we can prepare your life.
Just ezna combination of many things.
Have a nice day!

Hi,
You're right, all of us are different individuals, of course with different principles. I think money is a tremendous force from time to time as the world civilization. Ok, we all need money, and I will not lie to me, has a lot of money is a dream. But I do not go crazy if I did not have many.
Have a nice day too

not all rich people are happy in their lives.. or lets say.. hmm those people buying expensive or branded clothes, it is actually a choice of that person,some feel satisfied or its like a fulfillment to them when they bought something expensive (pertaining to those not really rich people)
but money is like everything.. yes it could make you happy in some ways as you could do or buy anything from it but as what they say there are some things which money can't buy.. so if the person is lacking some of those things, then he cant be truly happy

Hi,
Speaking of wealth would not be out of money. Like what we think that with the money then what we want of course we will have, of course there are exceptions from this case.

Love is coming from the heart but not from wealth. So, if your friends are true friends they have to give the importance to you but not your financial status.
