Sure it brings trouble but also  in this world it allows you not to worry about it, you can buy anything you want, travel anywhere you want the limit would be your imagination if you had loads of it.

Money isn't everything, but without money we can't do something. Money brings happiness through helping people.

Whoever said that money is not happiness was a millionaire trying to push gold diggers away from his fortune.

Money is important but isn't everything, I think true happiness isn't in buying a lot of stuff, or having a lot of cloth, a fancy car and etc. I met people who didn't have a lot of money but they are happy. True happiness comes from the heart not from the pocket.

Some girls prefer to get married to a rich man, just because he is rich not because of love and not because he is a good man. Money didn't buy those girls' love.

One of my Fav writers once said ,
Money can bring happiness to ppl that are ready to be happy with money - not sure it's the right translation
but happiness is " satisfiction of wat you have in presence & Hope in the future "
so if wat makes you satisfied in the presence can be bought then by all means money wud bring you happiness

believe me... its not a good feeling not having any money. lonely, hungry and outcast immediately comes to mind...

I think money can bring happiness.we all have the right to be rich.we can't express our full potential with out using resources .and we need money to use the resources available to us in every areas of our life..

Having too much money , where on earth have i said that ,

Money can bring happiness to ppl , whose desires can be satisfied by money ,
as for me I can safely say if i have any less money i'd be begging for food on the streets :P

Money is essential for our life.There is much you can do what you want.Such as traveling, shopping, going to school ....
Money also gives us much sorrow and unhappiness.

owais.truefriend

No money can bring only temporary happiness the real happiness is only with your relationships.

ericwt

Happiness is a conscious choice that we make.

Regardless of how much money we have.

MO2013

Yes, no doubt that money is essential for our lives, however, it cannot either be a target for living or provide permenant happiness.

In different words, money can "only" make our lives somehow easier (good education for kids, good health care, better retirement,...etc). It can also make us enjoy some moments such as (travelling, shopping, buying new house, new car,....etc.).


But  "take care",

it doesn't mean that becasue somebody is rich, that he/she has to be permenantly happy. Many cases can prove this say (having a serious illness, losing a beloved person,....etc.).

I believe that happiness is certainly related to the decisions we make in life and not to the amount of money we have.

stumpy

Money is an essential these days to survive on.
However it is not THE essential.

Those would be family and friends.

Sometimes

montassar.h

if u have a reason to be happy without money so u can never be completly happy and if u have the moneyand u r alon without nothing and no one to share happiness with him so also u can never be completly happy so i think money is a part of hapiness and not the hapiness

Partha Jena

Money is important but not everything..money cant buy hapinness

Gary

I make here about 10% from what I made in Europe and I am like 2000% more happy....

sweet_summer

Without money it is difficult for you to be happy.
With money it is not guaranteed that you are happy.

HaileyinHongKong

Without money it is easy to be happy.

stumpy

We are conditioned to believe that money will buy happiness.
Money will not necessarily buy you happiness, in fact it will not.

In all my travels around the world the happiest people I have met  have been the poorest.

kaburatee

If you have clothes a place to stay,food in your farm and you made everything yourself then money is not happiness. You can do without!

realdeal43

Let me settle this discussion once and for all!MONEY IS NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THIS WORLD BUT IT IS WAY AHEAD OF WHATEVER IS IN SECOND PLACE!!!!!!!!
