can money buy happiness

SW-User
It can't buy happiness but it can certainly free you of the stress lack of money can give you since pretty much everything we want and want to do, costs money.
SW-User
I agree with this. I get frustrated when rich people complain a lot, life could be so much worse. Money frees you from a lot of stress. I can say that growing up in a home without any money.

With enough money you can buy anything.

That doesn't translate to happiness.
SW-User
I can tell you as someone that has been broke and homeless and as someone that had money to burn, having money made me a hell of a lot happier, so money can buy happiness.
NigelDoes · 56-60, M
lol This is seriously your response? :-) I've never been either of those things but I have known more than a few wealthy people who were utterly miserable in life. Just when I thought I wouldn't encounter another idiot tonight, you magically pop in.😃

@Soossie: well Soozie if your posts and avi (big smile) are anything to go by i suspect you are a very happy person

Thank you again
SW-User

To a point then little impact beyond that

Research demonstrates this statement

Definitely not

not necessarily. having enough money to pay the bills and be reasonably secure helps. Money itself won't satisfy the soul...that's on you and the people/relationships you keep.

NO I have money in the bank, own my own home plus 2 cars - it does not make he happy but makes life a little bit easier

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it is more comforting to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle😕
Nothing material can buy lasting and true happiness
NigelDoes · 56-60, M
May I please select this as best answer?
@NigelDoes: sure.
It can pave the path. Why??
Oh!! Thank you...I am not sad... I am happy, but been there (both on a bike crying and on my leader couch at home) and I know... Lol
NigelDoes · 56-60, M

SW-User
It can buy you time to enjoy moments,but happiness has to come from within
It can buy you drugs, which is the next best thing.
NigelDoes · 56-60, M
Until addiction sets in anyway.
lol just don't buy heroin, coke, speed or meth and you'll be good.

Money isn't everything. I don't want everything - I'll settle for money
Ozdharma · 61-69, M
They say it can't buy happiness but it does not make you sad.
FurryFace · 61-69, M

snofan · M
Money is not first in life, but it's WAY ahead of whatever's second
Pretzel · 61-69, M
nope, but it can take the edge off sadness
NigelDoes · 56-60, M
Maybe in the short term but not in the long.
Picklebobble · 56-60, M
