Money is certainly one big factor in improving one's life and more times than not it can give hapiness to an individual. Let's face it money can really buy almost everything..the thing is we must not let money use the better of us rather we must use money to better ourselves and make it work for us to achieve our desired goal.

It may be true that love and affection can also make a person happy especially in couples, but then, when they run out of money, sometimes the relationship becomes bitter. Some women would choose stability rather than their preferred man.

It is true that health is wealth. But these days, to stay healthy, you must be able to maintain it through money by having money to be able to buy the right food and vitamins. Regular annual check up to your doctor which also in turn incur cost.

yes indeed some money can buy a lot of things. and some money can make us happy. but it cannot give us fulfillment. nor eternal or lasting joy.

No, it helps, but it doesn't make me happy.
The main things in life that make me happy are (a) each morning I wake to a great, new day (b) the beauty of nature around me and(c) the love of my family and friends. With those three things, money is not an issue.

It depends on its purpose. If money is tobe used to augment our financial needs, then definitely it will make me happy. If it will be used for the future expenses of my children, then I will be definitely be happy. But if it is only the source of happiness, i don't think so. It is just a tool but not the entire happiness for me.

yes money does make me happy for i am able to meet the needs and luxuries of my family in a better way. I at the same time agree that one should make a judicious use of money and try to make the best of it. I too try my best to get value for money both at the time of investments and purchases.

I think that money is very important in people's life. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it's easy to be happy with a lot of money. You can buy what you want, also when you are sad. Money can help people, it can help culture, it can do a lot of things. But I think that if I had a lot of money I would not be so happy.

Happiness is not something can be bought with money. Many people who are shopaholics are trying to fill some void in their life, they think possessions will make them happy but find out that after their credit cards are all maxed out they are still the same unhappy person. Money can make life more comfortable, I agree, and help us reach our goals, but true happiness is something that comes from within us,and from our relationships.

It doesn't make me happy, but it certainly helps one have less stress to pay bills and live.

money surely satisfies many needs of a person but not sure that only makes man happy ,for an example the peson who is having lot of money without a piece of mind is "very poor" in my view so the the thing that makes the person really happy is "LOVE" the money is secondary

Nice post. You're right. Money is a big factor in improving life. I used to think I was alright by having just enough to meet my daily needs but it's really hard to live when you're only making enough to supplement your needs. I'm not a materialistic person and I used to think that having a job that I'd enjoy like being a cashier in a grocery store and make little would be enough. Now that I'm getting older, I try to think of money making schemes to better my life. I'd enjoy a job as a cashier but I'd have to work all my life since I won't be able to save anything for my retirement with just that job. I'd have seasonal home-based businesses from time to time selling anything I could sell just to have a little more cash. Everything I want to do with my life needs money and so I have work really hard to get the money fro leisure and travel.

Yes of course money makes me happy. In fact that's most of the reason why I am happy when I do get paid from mylot or when my mother give me an allowance. I am telling the truth. I want money! I need money! I am desperate with it. That's makes me happy this time. But of course you can't be truly be happy when you have lots of money. Gee! what a world of discontentment.

I wish I did have enough money just to make sure that me and my daughters are ok...Cause I hardly have the money to pay bills and to buy food...We never have enough food to last the whole month..My kids have to go without or have small portions towards the end of the month cause I have no money to buy food,milk,or even eggs..:( So I just wish I had enough to be content with to make sure we can get by in life...
