money vs life enjoyment ...........

February 2, 2013 8:16am CST
hi friends, Enjoying life is simple but enjoying life without money is it difficult. For many people enjoying life means spending lots of money and enjoying the whole day while some people doesn't think so for them the enjoyment for life is to stay together and live every moment of life with happiness. what do u think abt it???????

They say you can't buy happiness. That's because a lot of people cannot afford it.

For me, the best life enjoyment is to be with our family sharing laughters altogether with God in the center of our own life. Although money is truly very essential in our everyday living, we should not rely our happiness on how much money we have at hand.

This concept of 'enjoying' life varies from person to person.By and large, I have found many people[especially women]saying that a person is 'enjoying' life when they are taken to different places, provided exotic food at big restaurants, pampered with luxurious things ,etc etc.., This obviously means spending a lot of money. I feel that enjoyment is a state of mind and one's capacity of a person to get joy from simple things.This will help us enjoy life every day.Staying together with family and seeing them safe and secure is enough to make me 'enjoy' life. According to me ,good health and living every moment with happiness is 'enjoying life. I enjoyed myself writing this response too.

I will go for the first because I want to have needs. Enjoyment life is a bonus after you have achieving goals by having more money. Money can do everything and can save you.

You are right without money we cant enjoy the life but too much money means also not enjoying only stress so earn only enough money which required for day to day life. Lots of habits like clubs, alchohal etc is not good. Even if the money is less but family is with us then we can enjoy the life.

I don't think you need to have money and spend a lot of money to enjoy yourself necessarily, but money does buy experiences and I think those are what can often make life exciting. Just going to different places, trying different activities, it puts fun into life. Often you can find experiences for free, but there are many which cost a lot of money, like going on holiday abroad. So, I think you can absolutely enjoy life without money, but having money to spend can really add to your enjoyment because you can do more things.

I disagree, enjoy life depends on money. There are many things that can make us enjoy life. By always doing positive things, is the way I enjoy life. Having a lot of money, but we have a problem, because doing negative things, make us can not enjoy life. But, our lives will be full of difficulties.

Enjoying life is very subjective and abstract. It all depends on each and every individual. Just playing badminton with your group of friends after a hard and tiring work is enjoying life. But to others is is not; it is tiring and energy sapping. Going for a swim at the pool nearby is relaxing and enjoying. All these hobbies are very cheap hardly any money is needed. To the richer folks it is expensive overseas holidays is enjoying life. So there two extremes: 1. Spend plenty of money to enjoy life. 2. Spend little money or spend no money at all to enjoy life.

whether we like it or not, money is something we cannot do without. Enjoying lifef without money in the modern world is practically next to impossible when just steppping out the door we already need cash to move around .unless we live in an environment where basic food and shelter necessities we need are done by hunting and gathering or growing our own, in the modern world, in the city, becoming bored is easy but if we do not have some cash to spend, then we will be more miserable because we cannot go anywhere to kill boredom when we are broke. everything we do in the daily grind of living needs money. doing exciting things or interesthing things gives me a sense of joy like travelling or absailing or scuba diving but without money we cannot do the stuff we like to do, coz all of it needs to spend money on.i dont care to be wealthy but i d to wish i can have enough to spend on the activities i enjoy but chances are that they will be expensive

I know this two has close connection,and i would honestly say that i can't leave without money nowadays but we should not take it as the unproper position.So we can thus enjoy our life and make it simple.

I find as long as we can pay our rent, electric, tele, car insurance, and food we have more fun with no money they we do with a lot of money. Not that I don't like treating my family to new clothes or fun from time to time but there just is not that money to do it very often.

Although in this generation, money does really associate with a lot of things, most especially our needs and wants however, life isn’t about just earning and making money. Life is about love, and enjoying your life by learning from its ups and downs, money is just a creation that one should put in more hard work so that they will learn from its hardships. However, life is happy with or without money, we can learn to be contended on the fortune we are experiencing.

It seems that for us to enjoy some things money must be spent. I feel that way sometimes although I do know that it doesn't apply to everything. Money is of course good if we know how to make use of it to better ours and others' lives.

it is difficult to make criteria or requirement how or what we should have or do to get it In my mind when we can feel satisfied or smile after doing or watching something, it is one of happiness criteria

Money and enjoyment goes hand in hand. But one can never say that I can live my life all happily with money alone and at the same time, one can even not say that I can live all my life happy without money at all. One gets happiness in doing things for the loved ones and close ones. Yes, when you are really close, you do not want anything other than just being together. But then, when you are like being together, you will find yourself wanting to give them something as a token of love and you would certainly want that something to be precious. You need money to get them something precious. People might say, I can make even a crap precious when I myself make it. I completely agree with this and such a gift is priceless. Still you know, you would want to provide your loved ones with all the things which will help them so that they need not suffer for anything. At the same time, there are a set of people who think that money can buy literally everything in their lives, which is again not possible.At the end of the day , they will only have things around them and a lot of empty space around them. This is the way their life will be. They both go hand in hand. When I say we need money to be happy, I mean, enough money to look after the people you love is sufficient to be happy for life. After all, we all want love to survive this world.

Money is not everything,but without money ,life is very difficult to go on ,we can not be too eager for money .life,to grasp the good time ,happiness,is own experience.

Enjoying life is not always about money. Enjoying life is living to the fullest and spending most of that time with your family. Money isn't always the source to bring happiness, your family is. Although money does help enjoy life more, but it that happiness only lasts a few hours or so, but the enjoyment with your family can last a life time on.
