money can't buy happiness ?

Good day my dear Angelpink, Indeed, money can't really buy happiness. But, there are some things that we need that only money can buy. However, this things can only brought temporary happiness. Hence, this happiness can not be define as a real happiness.

Eating chocolates and cakes will soon ruin your health and I have seen very few sick people that are happy.

Hi! Happiness is a subjective issue. If chocolates and cakes etc. which are material things and are ephemeral give your happiness it is OK. To have it you would need some money. Like-wise for travelling to a certain place, you will need money. Internal happiness which is felt by us can not be bought by money. If someone's smile makes you feel happy, you just can not purchase that smile. You won't ask the person that you would pay him to smile. His smile is priceless and it is natural. He smiles on his own, he does not fake his smile for some price. Hope I could clear your point.

Sure cant.. money doesnt buy much these days.It only can make life alittle more comfortable is all. Have a super day there.

Hi Angelpink, You were too literal in your perception here, of course those material things you were pertaining can give you happiness but is it the true sense of the phrase? True happiness cannot be bought no matter what. You can have every material things money can buy and surround it to yourself but you cannot be happy if the one you love weren't around.

well money is too important in the life, money can make lots of happiness but money is not everything to make heppiness, that is just a way to make us happier that what we already are. and I think it is all depends to us that what is the meaning of happiness for each of us. there are people who have no money but live happily as they have made happiness within their hearts for no main reason, they are just happy as they breath, as they can see things, so it is all depends to us that what is meaning of happiness for us and what is making us happy but money is the way to make some of our dreams come true and for that we will be happier.

Traveling overseas can make me feel happy. I have been to more than 60 different countries on my travels. Along my way I found my favorite countries that I have been to. These are Samoa, Australia, New Zealand, Belize and the Seychelles. The best things to have in life are happiness, good health and good luck. If a person is in very poor health with lots of pain he or she is unlikely to enjoy the traveling to the different countries. I came home from my trip to New Zealand and the Pacific Islands in the spring of 2002. I felt very poor and I had a huge credit card bill. I found a teaching job beginning in the autumn however I didn't know how I was going to live for months without much money. I wondered where I would go to in 2003 having so little money. I decided to get a 20 hour a week job in a shop. I cycled there and back five times a week to work. I was able to go supermarket shopping once or so a week on my way home. I booked a cheap flight to Trieste for June. Off I went the evening before my flight to Italy. I spent that night in my sleeping bag and camping mat on the floor of that London airport. On my trip I did a mixture of camping and staying the odd night in youth hostels plus a private room. I visited Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia. I traveled by bus mostly and one train. It was a lovely trip and it was all done very low budget.

Money cant buy happiness surely, but it definately can help you be happy. I mean travelling needs money. How much you spend on it is subjective. Meeting friends can cost money at times, but again where and how we meet is up to us. Watching a movie gives me happiness. But watching a movie can cost me money. Watch a play, listening to music, debating on mylot, reading books, playing with toys, playing some game with friends all needs some amount of money. Yes the amount of money can vary. Some people spend lakhs of rupees and still cant find happiness in all that they do. And some may spend just a few hundreds on the same kind of things but they still find happiness.

I think it can for a short time until it wears off.

i had an officemate who was only 1 tricycle ride from the office, while i had to ride a tricycle, bus, and jeep. our office was also near several malls. when i don't feel like going home yet, i'd tell her i'd "buy" her time and company, meaning i want to spend some time malling and chatting and i'll pay for our dinner. it's a running joke between us. i didn't mind spending because we enjoy each other's company and i know she needs to budget her money because she's just renting and her family is in the province.

hmmmmmm... it can't buy happiness, because after eating chocolates and cakes, you will gain weight or tooth ache.. that would not be happy.... If you travel... you might stumble and cross swindlers or stumble on a rock and bruise your knees. and besides, you will have bodyache.. that's not happy. hahaha... just making a funny thing here, I hope no offense taken. depends on the thought of money, and money is essential that's why we work, even here in mylot to earn a few.

Hmm. I dont think money can buy happiness, it can only buy a good quality of life. Those things like eating and travel, those are wants and not happiness. I am really bothered as i think happiness may not really be existent, but i dont want to think that.

^^ money cna´t buy happiness but money cna buy things that make us happy ! Oh well material things that make us happy and some times even none material things ;) it´s a good and awfull truth

Hi,angel! Here is what I am thinking.you are happier if you ues money to buy whatever you want,like those chocolates and cakes you like and the places you want to travel. It is easy to get these things that can be bought with money.But try to think those things cannot be bought with money easily.Do you think you could still buy your happiness with money?And what if some people's happiness is not about material?So I went to my conclusion:if material is what you want then money can buy your happiness,otherwise,it can't.

Of course money is very important in life, and it may be from the sources of obtaining happiness.But it is not everything, you may be money, but you lack the companionship and friendship that builds on love. An example is the famous actress Marilyn Monroe, she was not happy in the last days of her life, because she realized that people love and friendship not only to her character, but to the great richness. eating chocolates and cakes , travel and travel are not everything in life. True happiness is to be likeable among the people. And have an influential role in this life.

Hi Friend, Really what you have discussed is true the money cant bring happiness. Money is required for each and every sort of things you buy or you travel. While you are in tour with your friend or someone close will bring fun and not the real love which make you happy. Every small things can be bought by money not the love. Have a good day.

hi Angelpink, i understand your point clearly and i do agree with you. you are actually buying your happiness using money because your happiness is eating chocolate and you can easily get some chocolates with money. and besides happiness, we also hear people said money can't buy health. but in order to be healthy, we need to eat nutritious food, clean food, organic food, supplements, vitamins, etc. which need to be purchased with money. to remain healthy, we also need to do full medical body checkup from time to time which also need a lot of money to be able to do so. how about time? we also heard people said money can't buy time. but if we have money, we can hire maids or personal assistants to do a lot of things for us, for instance, paying the bills, sending children to the school, cooking, cleaning, washing, etc. then, every day we will have extra time to do many other things especially to plan for traveling to overseas. so, in one sense, we are actually buying our happiness, our health, our time with money, don't you think so?

There is no way that money can buy your happiness. You see, happiness isn't something that comes from the toys that you have or the food that you eat. Happiness is something that comes from the relationships and other interactions that you have with other people in your life. I mean you could be the richest person in the world and never have any kind of interpersonal relationships and that person would definitely be a person that isn't happy at all.

Money is just a bartering tool really. It is what we need to get things we need. Like Food and clothes and so on. But true happiness does not come from money. Yes, we do need money to buy that chocolate or those trips, but real true happiness comes from within us and it is totally free. Sometimes the simple things in life are the best and are also free.

yes you need money for all the things and you will be happy but for how long
