Does money make you happy?

[FearlessFreep]

I'd rather be healthy, young and poor then sick, old, and rich.

And, while your healthy, young and poor, your every effort will be to become wealthy.

I'm gonna say the 11% who voted NO are richer than the rest. Cuz they know money does not make you happy.

I know one thing for sure. Poverty surely doesn't make you happy.

can money buy true love? no I don't think so.

Money= hobby=happiness

But after a while hobbying all the time you get bored. Heath first...

I voted no....

But not to state the obvious, just because money doesn't make me happy, doesn't mean I would prefer to live in poverty...

You need a certain amount of money to make you happy...to make sure your basic are expenses paid, you have shelter, a little nest egg, a little emergency fund...that kind of thing...

But after that, more money doesn't make much of a difference....family, friendships and health are far more fulfilling than money..

 

[TeasePlease]

can money buy true love? no I don't think so.

Money arguably makes finding true love that much more challenging. Then again, money makes being alone a lot more fun....

Not sure, but NOT having money fucking sucks!

 

[Serpent]

Money doesn't make me happy: it makes me feel secure. It drives me but doesn't give happiness.

Helping people and getting positive feedback makes me happy.

But yes, security comes from having money.
