Money and happiness.

[dimox]

i agree if happiness relate with how much money people have, but it cant apply by all people. there are many richman, but still get angry easily, and vice versa.
you know if simplicity make people happier, make people be grateful of life. and many of them try to help other people with its simplicity, to proof that happiness can landed easily like take a breath.

Money is like fuel that can power an engine that can help fulfill your desires and ultimately bring you happiness. But the concept of happiness is quite ephemeral and does not lend itself to strict accounting or measurement and is strictly individual for each person. History knows many cases when people gave up their jobs and careers or got rid of wealth and money because it did not bring them moral satisfaction and a sense of happiness. Happiness can bring a lot of things and the absolute majority of them are not directly related to money, so do not substitute the concepts of money and happiness.

thats why i said before if simplicity make people happy. not all, but many of them like and do somthing simple. and its not about money, but what act you give to the other person, which is lighten the burden of others person. and the older know more by experience, doesnt mean the younger dont know about it.
and doing passion that bring to your income is better than just work on big company.

I guess I know the exact and best answer regarding the relation between money and happiness. Not all the rich people are happy. If you didn't have enough money before, once you gain the money and get rich you will be happy but that's temporary and people will be depressed after a while. They usually try to do something fun and enjoyable with their money and sometimes they will do some donations to fade out the depressant, however, that's only temporary while deep inside their are still depressed. 

so the point is that happiness is not eternal, what do you mean? Indeed, nothing lasts forever in this world, we don't even bring wealth or anything else with us when we die. So happiness is from which point of view we look at it is happiness..because the point of view of happiness and success is each person's.

Different people have different opinions with regards to this.
You might ask a poor and he might say "He is happy even though he is poor because he has something that makes her happy like for example his family or something important to him but not money"
You might ask a rich and he might say "He is happy right now because he has all the money that is needed to buy anything that makes her happy whether its a car or a house or even some things that only the rich people can buy".

In general, this 2 are somewhat connected but in reality it will depend on the person you will ask. I can be happy even though I'm poor because I still have some things that make me happy but at the same time I can also be happy when I'm rich because I can buy some things that I want.

Many people define that having a lot of money can make them happy, because anything to survive can involve money.  but all of that of course from the point of view of one side of the upper middle class.  Unlike the lower class people, they are able to interpret happiness by gathering with their families with fulfilled needs without having to have a lot of money

Lol, there are a few things that happiness can't buy with money and happiness can't measure by money. Even if you will say, give me 5 bitcoin and I'm happy for that, but for sure you will come back and ask for more.

I saw a blog a month ago regarding a rich man and ask, what makes him happy he had everything he wants. He simply replied, "I may look happy but there's something that I'm looking for to fulfill my happiness". So it means, human doesn't have contented with what they had, it doesn't mean you have a lot of money you are happy at all time.

Is there a truth that money can't buy you happiness? Sure there is, there are tons of unhappy rich people out there. But this has been basically a propaganda from the wealthy to make people who are poor think that they are always unhappy and somehow money is the cause. If you are unhappy then you are unhappy doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, it is not about the money, anyone can be unhappy from health reason, relationship reason, family reason and many other reasons, hell even psychology plays a big role in this and doctors could help you with it, anxiety and panic attacks do not care how rich or poor you are in the end.

However one thing is for sure, money could help you with it, if you are unhappy and have 100 dollars in your bank account it is going to be hard to overcome that, but if you have 100 million than it is an easier path that you can at least spend the money to find what can make you happy. So money DOES bring happiness if you are unhappy, it is not the cause of your unhappiness it s the cure.

There are people who are convince that having enough should have contentment in life.

those people who wants to live a simple life can find happiness without the influence of

money, they are happy having what they can afford and not to exceed to it, noteveryone

lean with their luxuries.

It's true that basically we can see money and happiness from different perspectives,
we can not only see from one perspective and what is clear is money is not everything but everything needs money,
I think as long as we have enough money to live it already makes us happy

[jasonjm]

At some point in my life I thought this is true. Lets take an example of medical bills, if you don't have money you can get a good health care facility neither does your family and this will mentally frustrate you somehow. Yes Money can buy happiness in some fields of life but this is not always the case.

[SacriFries11]

Money is just one of the components of being happy. With money, you buy things that satisfies you, with money you will be able to travel to lots of places and you satisfy your happiness. Having money is being wise to handle it. If you will use it for good, make use of it with helping others so that you will be happy and others too. That is true happiness. This pandemic made us realize that saving money is important, but it also taught us the simple life and being contented. Happiness can be found within ourselves whether we have so much or less money.

Using over a million real-time reports from a large U.S. sample group, a recent study found that happiness increases linearly with reported income (logarithmic), and continues to rise beyond the $80,000/year mark.
As someone earns more, they may have the ability to purchase things that reduce suffering. This is particularly true when comparing low to moderate income groups—larger incomes below $80,000/year still showed a strong association with reduced negative feelings.

[Harper32]

If you have money, it can solve 90% of your worries. Happiness cannot be bought by money, but if you can, everyone wants to have more money. But everyone has their own pursuits. Some people don’t have much money in their lives, but they spend their lives happily. Some rich people may spend their lives unhappy because they consider more things. If I can, I will choose to spend my life happily.

I always say the same thing, its not the money that brings happiness, its the things money can buy that brings happiness. Now you might be confused then what is the difference right? Well if you are in a situation where you can't buy those things or enjoy those things even with money then you will be very sad. Lets give a very simple example (this is just a bad simple example) buying one orange will make you happy, its simple right you take your money with you, go buy an orange and you are happy?

Well let's assume that you are in wheelchair, suddenly doing that became harder, still not impossible but harder, lets assume that you are bed bounded, it became even harder right? Someone else has to do that. Lets assume you are bed bound and have brain issue as well like Demantia for example, then you can't even say it, it became nearly impossible, only chance is someone has to guess it. See how even when you have money something as simple as orange became very hard to get? Orange was just example here of course.

Money can't buy happiness but it helps you have a more comfortable and happy life, why do you keep imagining that if you are hungry and have no money how will you get food? , it's about the family itself, but about love, for example, your girlfriend wants to go out to eat somewhere or buy something she likes, only money can bring joy and happiness to you both.

What is your opinion on the subject of "money & happiness"?

Money doesn't equate to happiness but rather it eliminates a lot of worries. A cash flow well above poverty line really elevates your way of living and lessen your burden for the mere fact that utility bills are well taken care of is a game changer; On the contrary, having a below minimum wage means that it is not even fit to have a normal living condition.

Yes, money helps to alleviate worries but ultimately it is your choice and will that will determine your happiness.

[conected]

Money is indeed one way to get happiness, although not all rich people who have money live happily. So I agree money is not everything in this life,
not everything can be bought with money. Indeed, money can make all our wishes come true. But the fact is there are some people whose all desires
are fulfilled but do not find true happiness. So we all really have to be able to find out what our true happiness is, so that in living life can be fun.

- Exactly, happiness is a pleasant experience besides the things that we respect, money is just a tool to add to the beauty of those problems but the importance of happiness cannot be marked by money, money cannot be compared in this respect, the most typical is health problems, we can look for the best doctors but the disease can't be cured, money is just blank paper. Money and happiness are special bonds but the main role is still happiness, many people can still smile when they have no money but they will cry when there is no happiness

   Regarding on this Topic it gives critique our mind which the best. For me money is just a physical and tangible to the eyes but the bad things money will desappear easily, money can create war, and money can make a sin and the good thing regard this money can give people satisfaction to survive in everyday. In Happiness is just a simple thing but it can not buy any value . Always people wanted cause happiness it's a greatest thing that can fulfilled our hearts.

[Cling18]

Money can't buy happiness but it can help you to be happy, better to cry on a roof that doesn't leak and have a car and an insurance and investment rather than smiling through without any way to find food for the next day, being happy without money is just ignoring the problem which is being broke.

As long as we have money to provide for our necessities, that could give us happiness. It's true that without money, life would be stressful. Admit it or not, money is still part of our lives and without it, we'll only be worrying about our future that could also give us negative thoughts and energy. Money couldn't complete us but as long as we have our basic needs through it, we'll never feel stressed since we have the assurance of living a comfortable life.

A man with a lot of money is a smart, talented person and he knows how to treat people. So his behavior or choosing friends to play with is very different from others. He will not choose stupid people to get annoyed.
Money is directly proportional to happiness if he has enough intelligence to control them all. Money and happiness are two things that go hand in hand in modern society and we can't deny that.

Hi,
there is a saying "money is not everything but it leaves you one meter from full happiness"

First of all, I recommend the type of reading focused on success, on being successful, being focused on the objectives of everyday life, studying, having a family, growing professionally, if you like entrepreneurship or having your own business so start them. That is a great stepping stone to happiness.

Money will arrive and will be abundant depending on your achievements, but abundance or having money is not always related to happiness or it has to be the perfect equation for happiness, there are people who live with minimal income and are really happy. Everything is always relative ...

Cheers.

Yeah, everyone here could agree with one thing; money doesn't bring sadness by itself. I mean if you are poor that is a reason to be sad, and when you have money at least that is one reason not to be sad about and that is good enough for me.

If I were rich, I would not worry about money and when I do not worry about money that leaves me open to testing out if I am sad in another way, however if you have absolutely no money then that is a good reason to be upset all alone, you do not need anything else. So, it is not that money brings you happiness, because it may or it may not depends on the person, but it is all about how poverty does bring you sadness and that is why many people think that money bring you happiness, because many people lived under the threat of poverty and getting rid of that fear does sound like you will never have any other problem ever again.
