Agree and Disagree, if you have everything you want, someday there is one thing missing. Love ? and true happiness coming from people that you love.

why is this on the entertainment forum?? ...anyways, i think people can be happy with money, but it depends on the situation. if ur like this rich businessperson with lots and lots of money, but ur like mean and grouchy, then u'll probly never find happiness. But if u just won the lottery then u'll be very very happy!

Money may not buy happiness, but with money, someone can buy a new heart (literally), make it possible for blood transfusions, find cures to diseases... etc.

I guess it can't buy happiness, but it certaintly can make a difference in everyone's life.

Well, it can buy you a makeover.. mental help.. diamonds and rings and such.. cars.. food.. a romantic cruise..

It actually kinda can buy love in some twisted way. huh.gif

But yeh.. it really depends on the person.

Money can buy drugs, and drugs can alter your neurological chemical signals, thus generating what is commonly referred to as happiness.

Money can buy happiness, but I don't think it's going to last for a long time... at least for me...

I mean, I'll have everything I want (if I had a lot of money) but there would be things that can't be substituted by money, like love.

agreed. and yea money can make a diff since its the currency of the world at the moment. someone in an earlier post said u dont need love to be happy. how can u NOT have love in ure life? life is meaningless without love. sure money can satisfy ure materialistic needs but that aint everything. yea money can keep me alive but it sure as hell cant buy me some love.

If I had money... I'd be happy... and even if I weren't I'd just use my money to get plastic surgery (which I don't need, I'm just saying...) and turn into a beautiful woman who the men cannot stop thinking about and then they'll fall in love with me... and then I'll be happy... Since my personality is already perfect :]

Whatever.

I'm prepared to support my husband financially in the name of love. If I love him, I wouldn't care about his money, I'd only care about his happiness and my own.

Money is NOT the first thing I go for. Most guys my age are LOSERS who still depend on their parents but act all independent. I knew a guy who had a pretty nice ride to hit on girls with, but what they didn't know that HIS PARENTS bought for him.

What's the difference between thinking you are happy and actually being happy?

Happiness is a state of mind -- there is no difference.

Who says that rich people don't fall in love? I mean, what if you're rich and you meet an equally rich person of the opposite sex that you are attracted to and they feel the same for you? I mean then you go out on dates and whatnot and you become happy together and get married and are truly in love. You're still rich and you have love...

Who says that rich people don't fall in love? I mean, what if you're rich and you meet an equally rich person of the opposite sex that you are attracted to and they feel the same for you? I mean then you go out on dates and whatnot and you become happy together and get married and are truly in love. You're still rich and you have love...

but see when you're rich it's easy to do anything because anything can be achieved through buying, with the exception of friendship and love. that's what he means.

What I mean is, money can never buy humble love. You might give someone a lot of cash, while she'll just love you because you're rich, but not your character.

Of course rich ppl can fall in love, as long as they don't use the money to buy it.

People SAY money cannot buy happiness, but I think that it can if you're not too selfish with it. But then again, I think everyone is selfish, no matter what. IMO, I think there has always been one time where everyone has been selfish, at least once. so hm.. Money can buy happiness if you want it to.

But then again, other people say MONEY is the root of all eveil because it causes GREED and people are never truly happy because they can never have enough money and deep down, they want power, so they think money creates power.

Bleh but I still think money CAN make people happy. _smile.gif You can use money to buy a nice house and such and retire early so that you don't have to worry about so many things when you are older. So just MAYBE, money can HELP get happiness for me... But I need OTHER factors in which to help make me happy, not just money. So money can HELP buy happiness, but never fully, IMO.
