Psh. Yeah right. I go for personality. And maybe looks shifty.gif Talents.. etc.

But money? No way. If I want something, I'll buy it myself. Or ask my mommy and daddy laugh.gif

Political cartoon posted in the Brown Daily Herald:

GREAT CAREERS FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES

(woman) Hi! I'm a doctor with the CDC. I find cures for the deadliest diseases in the world.
(man) Hi! I'm a lawyer with the EPA. I sue companies that are destroying our planet!
(woman) Hi! I'm a schoolteacher. I make a difference in children's lives every day!
(man) Hi! I'm an investment banker. My taxes pay for all of that.

everybody has a different opinion ..

but in my opinion, i don`t think money can bring you happiness . you might think that your happy, but later on .. it means nothing .

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

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

First of all, what about all the people that can make you happy?

But if you had money, you could move to a small island and BUY people to make you happy as your slaves forever! Mua ha ha ha ha !!!!

Money can buy temporary happiness.

agree.
You still need people and other things to make you happy. Money isn't everything.

But life is temporary, so even if you have sufficiently long temporary happiness, your happiness will cover your entire life, thus achieving happiness.

Money can achieve everything except a humble love from someone.

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.
