Money doesn't guarantee happiness.

[Rockstarguy]

It's true that money doesn't guarantee true happiness but it still remains the source of happiness and  I prefer to be rich and be sad than to be poor and be happy because they is nothing like true happiness in this world,the rich and the poor can't escape having problems and challenges. Infact without money one cannot be happy and money doesn't shield anyone from been sad and unhappy but the truth must be told,a sad rich man is better living than a happy poor man.

Money is very important and it can be considered as one of the things that can make one to be happy even if it doesn't guarantee total happiness in life. Money solves most of our problems in life ,if not for even 95% of the problems we have in life. Whenever problems are always solved it brings happiness,  this is to say money can be a true source of happiness.  If we  compare the happiness of rich people and poor one , that of the rich people is greater because with money they have problems can be solved thst can make them to become happy.

In this modern society we found ourselves money is very important and everything we need have to do with money , I don't think I'll say money doesn't guarantee happiness because it does for sure.

From my understanding and Theory it is very clear that government against happiness and the government makes everything to be shorter for any person but I don't know for other people who think that money is not happiness when you have money and you are also in power they happiness of life is completed and when you have money also and you are not in power you will also have a happiness because money is the Joy that human being have on Earth another thing that I know that will not make you happy when you have money is when you don't have offsprings that will enjoy the money with you

[Finestream]

Who says money is the source of all happiness and satisfaction? It's not just all about money, but sometimes the best way to have a peace of mind and be happy is just to be contented of what you don't have, even if it means having just a small amount of money.

Money can bring happiness and joy but only in a limited time. Once it expires, you will feel the same empty feeling again and happiness won't be seen anymore. Don't be too obsessed with money, as having too much money will never give you peace of mind at all.

Every person's happiness is different, as you said, even though you are rich and have a lot of money, when you don't have children, you definitely feel like you are living in darkness because you are always haunted by the fear of who will enjoy your worth in the future. 

for this reason, when you have money, you have to focus on building a family, which is important because everything has to be inherited, or if you really don't want to build a family, you can donate your wealth in the future to relatives or an orphanage, in this life not having money is wrong but quite often having a lot of money is also wrong.

Money is a tool that makes people confused when the only thing that is pursued is for the lifestyle as long as he is still breathing. A clear source of money where it comes from is also not entirely a peace of mind and happiness of life, I mean if people are accustomed to wealth for generations, of course they consider money like pieces of newspaper that are not special .

I agree that by giving to others (who really need it) the atmosphere of emotion and happiness will be felt, otherwise if you give to people who are economically equal, it feels like there is no effect of happy hormones in yourself .

If it happens like that, I think there is a space that makes him express his satress language with over thinking. Better to relax, mingle and enjoy life. for me money is a tool but inner satisfaction is when we are together and enjoy time together.

Money does not guarantee happiness, but happiness comes from ourselves, as we make ourselves happy in our own way, many people are rich but don't get happiness, they have a lot of thoughts and stress, even though they have a lot of wealth but don't know Where else do they want to take them, because they already have everything they want, for those of us who don't have a lot of money, we definitely think that if we have a lot of money, we will definitely be happy, that's not necessarily true, what we have to do is be grateful for what we have. we have, and never think about things that we can't necessarily get, when we have a lot of money the thing we have to remember is, a little of our wealth has the rights of other people, such as orphans, the poor, etc. people who need it, to guarantee our wealth and clean up our possessions so that we can be calm and happy.

I came across a news flash on the media, it was so heartbreaking however it prompted me to create this topic and I'll like us to have a debate on it here in the forum. A Nigerian busines tycoon and the former CEO of Konga (an online store) took his own life, news have it that he jumped from the roof of his house, after calling his brother in the U.S to inform him of how to distribute his wealth.

 Well, i surfed the net to know his worth and discovered that he's worth about roughly $2.9m. You'll be wondering why a young and wealthy man of about 45 years, would decide to take his own life even after acquiring such wealth, i know many would think he's selfish he didn't consider his family, this and that but that's not the topic of the day, what I think is that one could have billions and several other assets but still find it difficult to have peace of mind.

 If money could guarantee someone peace of mind, then the man in person would've spent half of what he's acquired to find peace but what we was going through was beyond his wealth, and he's a prove that one can have all the billions and still not get peace or happiness. I might be wrong though but what's your opinion?

You're right I also heard about this news though it was very sad, I know most people will be saying that what was he thinking? people always think that once you have money that all your problems are been solved, no that's totally wrong you know the moment you start making money that's how problem keep coming from different angles sometimes you can even get frustrated you know frustration can lead someone to do something that he don't even intend to do.

that is why when I heard this news about how a man jumped from the roof of his house, I know it happens as a result of being frustrated by something which I don't know. most of the wealthy people you see today does not make their money in a right source that is why you see most rich people not having peace of mind though money does not bring happiness but it should be made from a right source.

[Strongkored]

It's true, that money doesn't guarantee happiness, but without money doesn't mean you will be happy it will make it even more difficult for you to find happiness
You won't be happy when you are hungry, you will not be happy when you are in debt, not happy when you don't have a job, not happy when you don't have a permanent place to live, and so on.
So humans need money to support their lives and the cases where rich people commit suicide are very small compared to those who commit suicide because of difficulties in life or starving to death, I am not a money worshiper but whether we admit it or not, we need money for how to find happiness.

Infact without money one cannot be happy and money doesn't shield anyone from been sad and unhappy but the truth must be told,a sad rich man is better living than a happy poor man.

Whether one agrees or not, I think money is the most needed thing in all aspects of life. To live the life of a modern society we first need money because without money we cannot imagine our life. No matter where you go in the world you will find among people the desire to earn money i.e. people running from one place to another just in the hope of earning money and even in the hope of making life easier.

OP Among the rich and poor people, the rich people are the happiest because they can use their money for any need or danger, but the poor can't use their money properly even if they try hard. Rich people may not understand the importance of money but poor people understand the importance of money. If you go out one day with an empty pocket and see how cruel the world is then you will understand the true meaning of money.

Exactly because you will not get happy if your stomach is empty and those people saying that money doesn't guarantee happiness are maybe convincing theirselves that situation really exist. Although I understand that its not all always about the money since health and relationship to people is important. But you will not be happy in a situation if you can't provide especially when there's something needed to spend.

So we need to have a life balance and strive to earn a lot of money while we are young since if we don't act while we are capable then provably we go old broke and sad. For sure we don't want that to happen  so we need to prepare for future not only for ourselves but also for our family.

If money does not gives happiness then is it poverty that will give you happiness because wether money gives happiness or not no body will want to be poor because if you see what people are going through because they are poor, been poor is a disease on its own. Another is that even when you don’t have money you still won’t get satisfied.  Definitely we need to be contended with what we have then we are not going to move forward. It is better to challenge our self so that we can be able to change the current condition we are and it will be like a form of transformation.

The moment you are able to buy what you want then what else do you call happiness because the human nature we are not always satisfied so it is better to always try to get better. I feel some people are comfortable with the way they are. That is the main reason why some people are the way they are, let’s learn to do better in what ever we are doing.

I  If money could guarantee someone peace of mind, then the man in person would've spent half of what he's acquired to find peace but what we was going through was beyond his wealth, and he's a prove that one can have all the billions and still not get peace or happiness. I might be wrong though but what's your opinion?

Even if i agree with your opinion that money or wealth do not guarantee happiness I'll still want to be wealthy first then I can later deal with that part of the happiness it doesn't guarantee. No amount of motivational speech should make you settle for less or comfortable being poor under the auspices of enjoying happiness.

Money bring us closer to the things, people, places and achievements in life that brings happiness to humans. It may not guarantee but it's a quintessence to be happy about life. How do you feel, if your kids come to you asking to go see a movie at the cinema on a weekend, because their classmates in school couldn't stop talking about it to them about how their own dad had planned on taking them to the cinema but, you can't afford it because there's no money?

It all depends on the position every wealthy man finds himself, for the case of the KONGA CEO after reading through his story, I discovered he lost hope and faith from everything about his marital life and family. A situation he could have been patient with for what the future can be.

"Money doesn't guarantee happiness." - but the absence of this will certainly guarantee  unhappiness.

If money could guarantee someone peace of mind, then the man in person would've spent half of what he's acquired to find peace but what we was going through was beyond his wealth, and he's a prove that one can have all the billions and still not get peace or happiness. I might be wrong though but what's your opinion?

We don't know the true reasons that pushed this person to such a tragic step and therefore, it is impossible to objectively assess what happened from the position of happiness received (or not received) from money.

Who told you that billions will provide you with peace and happiness? Money is a means of exchanging material goods and certainly not a tool for acquiring spiritual benefits. Everything falls into place if you understand the purpose of this or that.

[Rao420]

Money is using every where. Now money is imporatant for evertings. If need to buy anyting without money. Money imporant for everyting. So save the money for future saving. It help to future growth. So don't lose the money. Money alway give the happiynes. Without money we can't sustain.

Absolutely right nowadays everything comes with money.  If there is money then there is life, otherwise everything seems incomplete.  Gone are the days when everyone had sense, now sense has no value. 

Now we can buy everything with money, even someone heart.  In this race of the world, humanity and emotions have been left behind, only money has the upper hand.

[kuriboh]

Money is not everything in life, but it is now very difficult to be good without it. Love of loved ones is not available without money. Sometimes, people have no value and become a burden to their families.
From my side, I say that money is everything in life. Without this money, nothing happens in life; now is the present time. Currently, each step costs money. You have no money, which means you have no value. If you have a small income, like traveling with your family, and if you have a good mindset, if you don't have high aspirations and want to be happy in a short time, then it will be seen that you will get happiness. And if the matter lies in other thoughts, it will be far from your joy. Money is not everything in life, but nothing happens without money.

I like your post, you speak the truth, and it is very well said. Indeed, money cannot always be the source of happiness. It all depends on our needs. What my needs will be, the main thing is that it can be well inside a little. You don't need a lot of money to be happy. Here, we can see that he brings and eats daily; he lives happily and sleeps at home peacefully at night; there is no tension.
On the other hand, a person has a lot of money, but despite having a hundred-story house, he does not get sleep in his head. That's why you have to learn to be happy with little. Even if you have a small amount of earnings, you can do well if you can make an excellent distribution with that money.

I find this post so funny because there is no way you are going to give me 10 Bitcoin and I wouldn't be happy, my inner joy will forever remain happy anytime I view my wallet and see the balance chilling on my wallet address. If money doesn't bring happiness, a lot of wealthy individuals would have give their assets to charity and remain poor, don't ever listen to those motivations of wealthy people that has already made it, those talks prove nothing until you make yours.

As for the man, the family of th decease were unhappy about what the media posted, they feel the media and blogs were unfair to him the way fake news was posted about his death and I see this as a result of poor journalism, they didn't do proper research about the cause of his death because that wasn't what the family of the man said about him. A proper investigation is currently under the ground about the Real cause of his death, who knows if he was killed in his home because of some business deals.

Money doesn't guarantee happiness, it's true. That's why successful people end their lives in bad ways, and make no mistake, there are also many poor people who end their lives in bad ways. It's all because they have no purpose in life, no mentality, and can't control their emotions.

If rich people commit suicide, they usually fall into poverty and are unable to start from the bottom, perhaps this is one factor. And it could also be because there is no purpose in life, if he becomes rich and has everything but does not have a purpose in life then his life will be empty. After all, having a lot of money doesn't mean he can control his own emotions and mentality. Many rich people commit suicide because they don't have a goal in life, they start to get bored with their life, maybe because in difficult times they have their own targets, then when they become successful they start to get confused and don't know what else to do. so they commit suicide (this happens a lot in Japan).

That's why I agree with Bill Gates and Melinda Gates, they are successful, their children are safe, they choose to help other people. why is that important? because they feel needed by others. Why do many poor people become strong? because they survive for the sake of their children. there is someone who needs you that makes you think twice about ending your life, there is someone who needs you to stay alive. So believe me, surviving is also a successful achievement.

I have not read or done any research about how many people commit suicide in Japan and why they do it, but I don't agree with what you said about people having no goal in life after one point. For me, this is impossible for a human to have no goals because a human will always be greedy by nature, no matter who it is, even those who say they aren't greedy for more things in life, lie to themselves, and deep inside, there is always something that they want.

Those who commit suicide are the ones who don't have any managerial abilities, they can't manage their problems in an effective way which leads them to try to run away from their problems and you can't do that as long as you are alive. If you have problems, you have to face them and solve them using your brain and understanding, and if you fail to do that, you will try a way to skip and for some people, that way is committing suicide which is absurd.

Someone with good managerial abilities would know how they should distribute their wealth and what things they should do if they don't have any personal desires. Millions of people need the basic necessities of life in all parts of the world. If you are rich and have nothing to do, go and help those people, you will get an activity to do and they will get some help. Killing yourself thinking that you have no goal in life is a lame thing, in my opinion.

Agree on this. Sometimes, money is not just all we need but even the simple things in life bring incomparable happiness. Money could be the ultimate need for survival, but it won't guarantee happiness. People can only be happy if they live without pressures and stress, just living a simple and good life where peace of mind is free and incomparable.
