Money and happiness.

[molsewid]

Its funny when I hear people say that "Money can't buy happiness"! For real? Have you ever taken your child out to the park, thats if you have one or taken your family out for a picnic and watch them have all the fun they can? Even if its an unhappy family that goes about keeping malice with each other while at home... that momentary joy is what money can afford you. Money can buy you happiness but, its temporary! Once the money stops or goes away, the joy that came with it is gone.
And yeah, pretendingto be happy when you've got nothing as per money is actually paying ignorance to the problem.

I agree with your statement mate that money can buy you a happiness, being born and lived in third world country seeing the poverty, and also raised and live in a type of family where buying things even just in a small amount of penny seems like a million expenses I can truly say that money can buy you happiness. It is temporary yes but I guess one thing that last is the happiness that the thing you've got to buy from money lasts. Though I do also believe on the saying that being contented in life can truly give you a meaning of happiness but honestly speaking we can't be as pure of happiness if we don't have money, it is just a tool but this thing we called money is the only way to purchase services and products today.

Having some level of financial stability affects your thoughts and mood greatly, it is very true, when you have some money in your pocket you feel like 70% of your problem have been solved, because with money you can get things done easily, people listen and pay attention to you, and if you don't have it, that is the opposite of having it, you will be frustrated and sad, and you will wish to have it and be ready to do whatever it takes to earn money.

Indeed. Money can buy happiness at some point because it can save you from a chaotic world due to financial instability. Money can give you a comfortable life that can bring happiness to most of us which why most people strive to earn more. Money alone won't guarantee you a happy life, but it can take most of your worries and burdens in life.

You see, not everything revolves around money, but we can't change the fact that it is a necessity in our lives. Without it, our moods are usually affected. We worry and bother so much to the point that some people are starting to develop anxiety and depression. Money wouldn't solve all our problems, but it can solve all our monetary problems. It can buy us the things that can make us happy. However, no matter how many times money can give us that state of happiness, unfortunately, it can't buy us contentment. It's just really a matter of perspective.

Money can't buy happiness but it can help you to be happy.

What is the difference then? If money can help you to be happy it only means that it has bought you happiness too. That is a simple way to explain that without pretending about the usefulness of money. Have you not heard of "a hungry man is an angry man"? A man who has money will not go hungry. So his anger is turned to happiness and joy. If he has any problem he solves it and gets his sound mind back, a problem that a man without money may not be able to solve.

The difference here that he/she is talking about is that you can't really buy true happiness but it may help you to buy those things that are tangible or things that will make you happy. Meaning there's no such thing as you can buy through the use of money the happiness you want. A problem with a man who doesn't have money will not be able to solve? That's ridiculous because a man can find a job in order to have money that may use in order to live, that's the simple way of life.

There is a popular opinion in the locale that "A man who has money doesn't easily get angry or offended, lol". This statement goes the other way as well, that "A man who doesn't have money is easily offended by everything and everyone".

I have put this statement on analysis a lot in mind, trying to watch my mood and correlate my happiness with the amount of money I have each time. Everytime it seems like i have overspent and almost becoming broke, there is a feeling of irritation and sadness that comes with it. Also when i get some credit alerts, there is an associated joy.

I know it is not proper to tie your happiness to finance, but i did some research into the subject and found a study that was conducted with the result that happiness increases with the amount of money one makes up until a point  where there is no greater degree of happiness from making money, but unhappiness if ones income drops beneath that range.

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

It is true that the effect of money on the condition of happiness is very physically influential, but not many people also have money but their lives are not happy. So here we can define happiness from which point we look at it. If it's about feelings, money can't buy feelings. Money can only buy physical happiness.

Your very correct money helps people to live happily without having much things to worry about, tho it's said that money can't buy happiness but it can actually help to make you live happily. For example if you have enough  money you won't bother thinking of what to eat, money for house rent and all the rest, but a poor man who is pressed with alot of issues will always have mood swings and every little thing gets him upset. Even in crypto you become happy when you make gains and get sad when you lose.

By saying true happiness, it means there is fake happiness somewhere too. You even made it more complicated with that word you added. I have heard people use that expression of money not buying happiness but I know they are wrong. Except you have a way of making wrong choices otherwise you will know how to buy happiness if you have the money. Those things you long for, you will easily have them. What is happiness then if not getting all that you want.

That's the advantage when you have lots of money, if you are good in balancing your life that money will give you those happiness that
you wanted to have.

Sure that there are many issues with poor people aside from how they will survive for the day they also thinking things for another days to come.

unlike when you have good amount of money, you don't need to mind things just continue enjoying a life you dreamed to live.

I know many people who already have a lot of money but they can get angry easily. They already have a lot but they always prioritize everything that related to earning money, they looks like they still need more and more. I think that is a greed, isn't it? They always afraid to being poor. Honestly that's also what I feel sometimes. In my opinion happiness is a gift from God. Maybe we don't have a lot of money but if God give us beautiful good wife or many good kids or safe country or a job that we like or good friends or healthy, I think we will still happy.

It's human behavior and not the money sometimes, maybe they came from rags so they are really irritable when someone does something to their belongings and they are scared that those things that earned will be destroyed in a matter of moments. Probably you are right that plain old greed is what makes them angry but one thing is for sure, these people is on a Sisyphean journey because the money they earn will never satisfy them.

OP needs to see the problem from more different perspectives, the problem is with ourselves.
Happiness we always hold and decide, only we ourselves have changed and don't want it, so we always try to run after it. Remember that money is just a tool to make your life better, but how good it is depends on each person's perspective.

[Rajamuda]

Money is like everything in this world, sometimes money can control us to the point that we forget that it is valuable, self control is the key.
Because of money, of course we can be happy, happiness is synonymous with having a lot of money until whatever is needed... everything can be fulfilled.

[1l1l11ll1l]

Doesn't it depend on a person's personality? Of course people will be easily offended if you hurt someone's feelings personally or it's about something sensitive about them, but I think it all depends on how that person behaves in responding to people's responses in their daily lives.

[Expecto]

I can tie money to happiness actually. Because the more the amount of money increases the more happiness level also increases. I know that happiness is not related only to money but it is a really important factor.

There's a study conducted that people are much more happy when they have more money and I think that it is true because you have the security and you don't have to worry about your future too much if you have money so I think money can cause happiness but not buy it, unless you buy hookers, drugs, alcohol and stuffs that gives temporary bliss.

"It is better to cry in a lamborghini" situation. I get it, I really do, money looks like the only thing that would make the world better for a person, if you have unlimited amount of money (which let's face it after a while it doesn't matter how much you own, if you own more than a billion, rest is just for show and not going to change your life at all, the difference between richest person and 100th richest person is nothing when it comes to living).

Long story short it IS better to be rich then not, and it does give you more happiness for sure, compared to not having it, but I say it is not the path to being happy as a community or a nation, it is just path for individual happiness. That is why I keep on pushing for finding better ways to get everyone happy, not just certain people, millions should not be working to keep few dozen people happy, we should all be happy together.

Our own happiness is only us who can decide not others.
indeed by having a lot of money at least we can do a lot of things that we like and make us happy,
but it's not always like that, there are even people who are already rich but don't feel happy and not satisfied

[Peanutswar]

There are a lot of things you cannot buy with money which are those experience, happiness, and much more things.
If you think those valuable things you want might give you happiness it's just okay because this gives you different experiences or memories in your life.

Depends on your satisfaction. Base on my experience money gives me temporary happiness because it gives me wants and needs. But sometimes those experience I cannot make gives a full of regrets.

[nightxglow]

Well for me, it's true that having money doesn't mean you will always be happy, however i guess the fact that money can buy happiness is correct. You can do things you want with money, buy good foods to eat with money, buy things you want with money. They will add happiness to your life, although won't make you happy forever, but you can buy temporary happiness using money. And also, so many problems come from financial, and having a lot of money will surely solve the problem, or make it less. So having money, less problem, more happiness.

The topic is quite interesting. In our country there is a famous saying on Facebook as follows: "We have 100 different problems, but only 99 problems can be solved with money". The meaning of the saying is the role of money in modern life. Money makes everything easier.
Let's try to imagine the application of money in life. love for example. Love + money will be a sublimated love.
Family life with money will be a life without worrying much about living expenses.
Don't say money has nothing to do with happiness. Think of your 40-year-old at a big high school meeting, without a house and a car compared to everyone else.

That is what money does best, money is a tool and it is one of the most flexible tools ever, money can become almost anything so while it is true that money cannot buy happiness it can surely make it easier to reach, which is why we need to strive to some level of wealth that allows us to reach a point in which we are comfortable with ourselves, that does not mean that we need millions of dollars in our bitcoin wallets but we need at least enough to not be worried about money every single moment of our lives.
