Money can`t buy happyness !

This is one of the reasons that I tried to make sure I had a job that was during school hours. That way I have my evenings at home with my family. But it is hard to find a job willing to work around a school schedule. I do have to work some weekends, but the majority of the time I get to spend with my hubby and kids.

but at least we can solve many problem using money

Wel i think money has big important in family driving. so money can make us happy with love because some time family needs something to buy but if you don't have money you will refused it so i think you hurted your family members so i think money is also very important with love. you cannot buy love by only money...its my very small opinion . thanks

yes its true...money cannot buy happiness..it cant give u the love of ur near ones.....its just a means of satisfying ur basic needs i feel...bt people today keep running after money...i don tunderstand why...bt on the other hand money is a necessity coz there are people who are deprived of food coz thy dont hv money....so it really depends upon one's situation

I think this is one of the biggest problems with the society we have now where having money is greatly encouraged, have a nice house, be able to travel etc. A lot of people work too hard for too long until they come to a point where they realize that they have missed out on their own family. A lot of people never even realize. How many people here have not been in the situation where they can chose between a family holiday or just a weekend with their family or working for extra pay? It's horrible, but you actually start thinking about how much it's worth for you to see your family. Eventually you have to realize that those hours with your family is your own life that you trade away for money. Hopefully there is a middle way.

Money cant buy love (The Beatles song)so also happyness, money is just a medium of exchange. Perhap your Parents want to make your family happy with workhardly to making a lot money but the in fact is not worked and impacted to you. Happyness comes from heart, soul and positive thinking. So please dont worry n be happy, enjoy it as you want and lot of pray to your God, asked to God for blessing for yr Parents, happyness for yr family, for all person who you loved, and thanks God. Cheers

Hi ChrissyGirl, I am glad to see that you are mature enough to understand things at a glance. I believe that the thinking you are growing up with may harm you in future. It do effects. I would like you to think of the positive part. Everybody have thier own style of loving each other. Your parents wants to make money for you as well that whatever you desire that is good for you can be fulfilled. There must be something they have faced quite some times. All these things happens at older age. I won't say much but I would like to tell you that you should start working part time. Let them feel that you are very thankful to them for taking you care in everyway. Let them feel the love, they will automatically desire your time more than money. Things will get well soon. As far as my case is concerned. I am 19 years old man, I did a SEO job in a US based company as well for long time. That was my need of money and interest in the subject.I just left the job because it was killing my life joy. I have started searching for home jobs as I do have to study hard as well. I given years to understand work at home jobs and now I do make some nice amount per month. I wish your all the problems can be solved and I further wish we all differentiate the money and happiness. There is not one kind of happiness. Earning money do bring happiness if your needs are not fulfilled. Love also brong happiness. I believe in what had happened has happened for good, what is happening is happening for better and what will happen will happen for best. With this thing in mind you will never be unsucessful in any way. Wish all myLotians Best of Luck!

For parents who are both working it is very difficult to maintain the balance between the home and work life. We work so hard so that you can get the best in life. Without money - it is not possible to buy you or give you everything we want to give you. Money may not give happiness - but it gives you the comforts of life.

You are right Chrissy, Money certainly can't buy happiness. It is linked indirectly to all the things around us; money gives you the warmth in winter and the cool air in summer, the food on the table and the smile on the hungry children in Africa etc. Though your parents are not spending time with you, I am pretty sure that they love you very much and probably that is the motivating force that keep them working the long hours. Have you ever spoken to them about how you feel; how you enjoyed the time you had with them and they are not spending more time with you. Put it across to them that you understand that they are working very hard to provide for the family and you just wish that they would also take care of their health and at the same time to spend more time with you. Proper communication would benefit both your parents and yourself. To me, spending quality time with family is my top priority and yet we have a responsibility to provide for the family. It is all about bringing a balance to work and family and friends and this is challenging.

that's one of the reason I choose to stay at home and resigned from my jodb I was afraid what to you and to me would also happen to my kids. I want to spend as much time with them. My husband is the only one working but we manage to survive, though a bit hard when it comes to spending. But still, I can be with my kids and guide them as they're growing up now so fast.

As long as members in a family understand one another, even they have only one or two hours a day to be together. In the city I live, many people in the working class earn very money. They have to work for more than 12 hours each day to make ends meet. So some children only see their parents' face once in a week. But most of them understand the situation, they seldom blame their parents. Instead, they love their old man and mom even better. They try to behave nicely and work hard on their studies. Some of their ambitions are to get good jobs in the future and repay their parents for their hard work of keeping them away from hungry and providing them cozy homes.

and what will you do if your mother and father don't work hard to bring home more money?!how your family will live?you will be one "happy miserable family". i think that your parents see that the family need more money and that is the reason to work more and more!do you want you parents to stay home and only think how and from where to get money for satisfy the family need.they will not be in their best condition when they know that can't afford something necessary for their children!

I just had a baby 7 months ago and I went back to work when she was about 3 months old. It's really, really hartd to leave your child at home. If |I could just stay home and take care of her I would! However, if I dont work and help my husband out, our child will probably go hungry. My mother was a plain housewife so she spent day in and day out with me as I grew up... time have change though, life is harder now. What I do now is go home as soon as possible and take care of her all through the night. I make up for the time that I was at the office. I also call her from time to time so that she can hear my voice. When she grows up, I will explain to her why mommy and daddy are not with her most of the day. We also make sure we spend weekends together or if I really have to work on a Saturday, I make sure Sunday is with her from morning to evenings. Now that I gave birth to my child, I realized how tough it is being a parent... that there are plenty sacrifices that should be made.

I agreed with you, money can't but happyness and not make everybody satisfied (if you have more then you will get more again and again). So, please dont worry n be happy , enjoy yourself life as your want. cheers

well said, and it is true also. money cannot buy happiness. You can not get any thing in this universe with the money . can u buy love ? can u buy a father ? or mother ? or can u buy a soul ? No no no no . Money is a maya or some type of disturbing factor which always put the person in trouble. the money u hav today will come to me 2 morrow and u will be in trouble 2 morrow like this it is rotating and it is the one which creates trouble and clash between us all times

I agree that money can't buy happiness. I wish the world wasn't based around how much money people have. I am trying to teach my kids that money doesn't mean everything. I am a single mom so I have to work, and my kids understand this. I just wish there was a different way of life. When I am off I spend as much quality time with them as possible, but I do have to share them with their dad. They are learning quickly that we need money in order to survive and get the things that we need.

Hi ChrissyGirl, you are so young.... it's too early dreaming a family, don't you think? I can understand your sad feelings about your family, also my parents worked a lot to bring money and I have always lived a little with them, no good relationship for this reason.... instead I have a very good relation with my little child who is 7, I'm still with him, I'm with him at the parties, I'm with him when we go to the park, I'm with him when we study together, I'm with him when we visit my parents, grandparents.... I love my son, staying with him is the most beautiful thing that I can do. I think you'll be a good mother and you'll always stay with them.

well for me .. money makes me happy, but in this happiness the love is not included :(, love cannot be bought with money:(

Yes, very true, money can't buy happiness. But a lot of people nowadays, becomes so hooked into the fact that in order for us to live, we need that stuff for us to survive. Yes, it is true that we need it but not for buying abstract things like happiness. Those people that became happy because they money are those people who are materialistic in nature. Those who are contentedly happy because they are able to buy things they want, but not necessarily they need. For me it is a very close-minded attitude to have. We should not only earn material thing but immaterial thing as well.

its certain that money cant buy every happyness in this world but may be some material pleasures. am happy for you because now you've learned that spending time with the family is more important than money. everything happens for something good and so is your case. probably your family people require more time with you which your parents dint know and certainly you would make a good mother teaching your kids about life in future.
