Money doesn't guarantee happiness.

[cryptoWODL]

Money does not guarantee happiness but without money you can never experience happiness. It seems to me that needy people experience the happiness of money, for example, when someone is unemployed, money is everything to him. That unemployed man understands the meaning of money.

In today's society, money increases people's respect and money makes people important. Similarly, money is very important to live a happy and comfortable life. I have often heard from experienced people and from my old grandfather that if you don't have money you don't get respect for your wife ie if you don't have money love flies out the window. No matter how much people say that money does not guarantee happiness, i think in reality it is not completely true.

[~speedx~]

Money guarantees happiness to people, and it doesn't give both.There is no correct explanation for this. Some people live a miserable life with a lot of money and some people live a miserable life without money. It is actually not possible to say for sure who will be happy in any situation in life.  There is no guarantee of happiness in life. But you cannot expect happiness without money. It is foolish to expect that you will be happy only if you own money.

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.

One rich guy commits suicide: internet> money doesn't bring happiness!
Millions struggle with famine, die without medicine, can't take care of their kids, face homelessness: internet> you can be happy without money!

Money doesn't guarantee 100% happiness, but still does for 99%, do a poll on some people without a home and a job and ask them if they would take this guy's position or choose to leave from day to day without knowing if they will have money to eats something and then let's see how many will refuse the change!

How many poor people commit suicide compared to millionaires?
700 000!!! suicide a year in the world, how many of those do you think were millionaires and billionaires?

The money is life to everyone in this world we're living in now nothing brings happiness than money, so in this case is better to be rich than be poorly because life of poor is not something that a person can be pray for, and why i say that there so many of people's that are taking there life just because there poor, but is happened for some rich men's they have too much of money and they didn't enjoy it as well that's people's that not every situations a person can enjoyed their some that you have to suffering before get what he wants.

But those that the money cannot guarantee happiness I totally disagree with that word, because money makes our lives to become better and even if we look at the those that didn't have money and they're lack of jobs we can see that they live is defferences from those that are touch the money always, I can only say that money didn't give full time happiness sometimes it give short time.

Money does not guarantee happiness, but if I choose I would prefer to have a lot of money even though my life is full of stress, compared to being poor and helpless, but also stressed. Because many things in life require money, for example buying a house, a new car, a new bag, family needs, and many other things - these things can be happiness for me. And also the question of "happiness" comes back to each of us, because even though there are some rich people who end their lives because of the stress of their lives, there are also more poor people who end their lives - so this is not about the poor or the rich, but more about how the individual overcomes his problems and can be grateful for what he has now.

It is an eternal truth that money does not bring happiness just as people cannot be happy without money it is also an eternal truth. Many people are unhappy even if they have money, and even if they don't have money, there is always a shortage of people, this is also a kind of imbalance situation. But if the human tendency is to avoid greed and to be happy with little, then a person can keep himself happy if he has little wealth.

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?

People die ever day and it's not because they have money or they don't have money. When it's your time to leave the earth nothing will stop it. What brings happiness to Mr. A might not be the same thing that brings happiness to Mr. B, so generalizing it that money doesn't bring happiness might just be your own ideology. Moreover that man never said he wasn't happy with the money he had before his death, it could have been something else that got connected to his death and not even a question of money. If money doesn't bring happiness to some, it definitely brings happiness to others.

@OP money can provide the person with his needs and can buy temporary happiness but beyond that human happiness does not rely solely on material things. There are people who has not enough food on their table but can still put a smile on their faces and continue to strive to live.  I believe the person spiritual and/or mental health is suffering.  No one in their right mind would take his own life despite of the problems they are suffering.

It is possible that the person stated by @OP that committed suicide has been experiencing stress and or despair.  There are a possibility of a hidden transactions that endangered him and his family's safety thus choosing to end his life to save his kin.  We have this kind of situation where a high ranking official committed a suicide one he and his group were exposed of a scandal that can endanger his family if investigated deeply.

Lets just accept that fact but for those who had achieved that financial freedom would really be definitely be the ones or those people would really be telling these lines but for those people who do struggle themselves on achieving such condition or having lots of money would really be still continuing on working themselves to achieve such goal. On the moment that you are on such condition that
you dont have the money that you could really make your life comfortable then pretty sure you would really be that doing all the very best to achieve it out. Money isnt everything but you would really be
needing it and in every move and decisions you are making which does involves money specially if you would really be liking something. This is why it isnt really that much that precise on having this word or line.

Although it would really be that still depending on a certain individual since not all would really be just that giving out importance when it comes to money or something
not their priority but rather on the other way around of things and makes money just that their second priority.

You are right but it is better to be rich than to be poor. The reason is that you can also read many news about people that are not rich but killed themselves so are the news of rich people doing so sometimes. I think the poor killed themselves than the rich people because the poor are more than the rich. Money may give people some ways to happiness but there are some things like sickness or bad health and other things that can make it not happen. But the poor can suffer those also.

If everyone has the ability to be rich, none of them want to be poor. Unfortunately, some people have no way to be rich because they have many limitations in their life. However, it is true that the happiness won't depend on the economic status of someone. Even if someone is rich, he can be not happy because of a lot of problems in his life. When someone is too focused in looking for money, he may forget to enjoy the life. It may lead to frustrations if someone can't enjoy his life. That's why there are many cases that rick people who killed themselves. Meanwhile many poor people aren't too focused on the money or wealth. They can enjoy life although they have no much money. It is because they can thank to the God and they assume togetherness with close people is more important than money. With this mindset, the poor people have small chance to end his life with something bad. But there are also few cases that poor people who killed themselves because they give up with their difficult life.

You have to find your purpose and money is one thing for you to be really happy, but happiness is not all about money, and there’s a dip meaning for this one. If you are going to understand and appreciate life, you’ll realize that small things matters and those who are not happy are just expecting too much or suffering from a big self-problem.

[Sexylizzy2813]

We as humans we always see material things as something that covers everything in life but no it isn't, even the poor find it hard to be happy no matter how comfortable they seem to be  with their condition even the rich also feel that way. It is when you get close to either the rich person or the poor person that you'd know that deep inside they have a problem that money alone can't solve.
About the man who took his life it could be that he did it to protect his family or something much stronger than what we're thinking and we're not in any place to judge his action, let it just be that it's best known to him. I know some might be having it in mind that his hands are not clean, it might be true at the same time wrong, the major thing is that happiness only comes from within and money can't buy it no matter what.

True, if you are poor then you don't have the luxuries in life and who knows, you might also think of killing yourself because of the current status of your life. As in this case, perhaps it's not about his money, as he had called his brother about his wealth and how to contribute it. But probably he has some mental health issues that he can't talk to someone about it and it boils down inside of him.

Majority of us just dreamt of becoming millionaires, and so I doubt that crypto investors will suddenly take their lives without reason. There could be deeper reasons for this man and not just about his money.

Those are actually happening in real life. In order to save the family's reputation, one might decide to put an end to his life believing that it could be the best solution to his problem. Or just like the case of a celebrity here in our country who committed suicide, the pointed reason are anxiety and depression and without no one at home to comfort him, he just chose to put an end to his life to end all his sufferings. Still, this could be a valid reason though since anxiety and depression are serious mental and emotional health disorders.

Money doesn't guarantee happiness according to the op post may be true in at some point, but it is good to have it. Money solves more than half of a persons problem. If you check the percentage of the role money plays in the life of every human, it is above %70-%80 if am not even wrong. I always feel somehow when I hear people saying that money does gives happiness. Though I know it may be true but not actually as they said. It only hapen in some cases but not all.

[uneng]

These stories have to be better investigated before we claim money doesn't guarantee happiness... I agree money doesn't bring happiness depending how it was acquired. If it was fruit of injustice, cheating, manipulation then I'm sure it won't bring happiness.

Anyway, in most cases like the one being discussed here, there are hidden details the public doesn't have access to. It actually made me remember a Tom Cruise's movie called Cocktail I was watching these days. He had a wealthy friend who commited suicide at some point because he was financially broken, but nobody knew about it.

Maybe for shame, fear to face the consequences or pride these individuals put a precocious end on their lives. In other cases, it's due to accidents provoked by substances' abuse, as it's also common these rich guys make use of drugs and alcohol in high dosages without precautions.

Everyone will of course think like that, but when they are looking for money, most people forget about this so they are willing to do various things to get money and there are even some people who do it illegally to get money and only a few people can find happiness. without having a lot of money, so it is very important for us to be able to find happiness with whatever money we can earn because we often see those who have a lot of money not being able to find happiness and we often see those who already have a lot of money looking for pleasure such as which is done by people who don't have much money.

Exactly its better to be rich than struggling financially since we know how heavy the feeling if we can't provide something. Also there are people who only base their respect depends of financial gains of the people. That's why although money doesn't guarantee happiness but for sure you could able to enjoy all things that you want in this world.

That's why instead of not valuing money because of that mindset they should strive to earn more so that they could able to provide a comfortable life not only for theirselves but also for their family. There are poor people saying that maybe just to comfort their self and ease away their worries regarding on their daily struggles.

I have gone through poverty and I can attest that poverty can lead to suicide more than riches. A hungry man will more easily commit suicide than a rich man. Many poor sick people will willing to commit suicide if they have the opportunity. If a poor man commits suicide it doesn't receive news headlines like the rich so it is common to see such discussion having wide coverage.

Most of the rich people who commit suicide don't commit it because they are wealthy but they have other reasons. Some of them are going through serious health or psychological problems. Others are in debt and don't have the means to repay. We just assume that they are wealthy while these people are even poorer than us because of the amount of debt they owe. Let me add that some of the suicides of these rich people are pre-planned murders. Suicide is used to cover the criminal act.

[michellee]

Many problems that can makes someone commit to suicide without wanting to share their problem to their relatives. Maybe they feels that their relatives can not helps them to solve their problem so they still keeps the problem for themselves. Rich people will have many problems that poor problems because their network is wide and they must knows everything about their business and their relationships.

But if someone who calm down his minds and can thinks clear if he have a problem, he will not do any bad things for his life. He will trying to solve the problem and he really understand that is not about money. He also knows that money does not guarantee happiness but money is neutral and the use will depends on each people.

When someone can use money properly without any problem while he is a rich person, he can balance his life without thinks that money is the root of evil. We should learn to have a clear of minds in our life so we don't have to feels any problem comes to us. Well, we have a problem but we can solve it without gives a bad effect our life or our relatives. Not all things can be bought by money.
