Money doesn't guarantee happiness.

[Rockstarguy]

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?

Money does not guarantee total happiness or peace of mind , you can still have money and there will be challenges that will be troubling you mind, it can be your business or people around you or even health condition.  You don't need to be surprised when you see wealthy people who are unhappy because it is very possible. People who don't have money , struggling for money thinks happiness comes only when you have money. In life when you lack a particular thing and it is all what you think about , you maybe thinking when you finally get that thing all your problems are solved and happiness will never end but it will shock you that anything can occur that can make you unhappy.
Maintaining wealth is even more difficult than to get wet wealth , some rich people they have challenges with their wealth and this can also make them to be unhappy to even lead them do strange things.

I have to tell you something though, as much as money doesn't buy happiness, what you buy that needs money is definitely the one that's going to get you that happiness and satisfaction that you're looking for, maybe the peace of mind that you're going to get out of money you're earning is enough of a guarantee that you're happy. Maybe we're so distracted of the things that we want to do that we're so ungrateful of what we have right now, it's all right to be chasing stuff little by little so I'm sure that things will eventually go your way, money isn't the real reason why you're sad, it's probably you and the people around you that's making you sad and miserable.

The problem is how well he can be grateful for everything he has now. People who cannot enjoy life are those who cannot see clearly how much happiness is around them and how grateful they should be for what they still have now. Whether it's about health or even other things such as wealth and so on. And yes, money cannot guarantee someone happiness. Because the source of happiness does not lie in money, but happiness will appear when we can appreciate our life more.

The presence of restlessness and restlessness in a person's mind even when he has become a billionaire is because he is still afraid of the future. Because he is still afraid of losing and because he is still greedy because he wants bigger things. And that is human, but we have to control it by loving our own lives more.

Finances are very important on the path to happiness. But well, happiness doesn't only lie in finances. but also in other simple things in our lives. In fact, every breath we take, every blood that flows through our bodies is all a pleasure that we should be grateful for. And if we can appreciate each of these simple things more then happiness will come.

When human lack something, they will try to fill it.

Since not all people can be rich, most people are looking to get rich, only people who have been rich can say money doesn't guarantee happiness.

I could say that friendship doesn't guarantee happiness because people can come and go, most people don't want to see other people are successful than them, so you might be a friend of enemies.

[CageMabok]

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.

Happiness is an absolute thing that arises from the mind and a combination of feelings in each person's heart, so it is not surprising when we see poor people who feel happy in this world even with only a little wealth. But know that those who are poor also really want to be rich because they already know how to feel happy and grateful for what they have so that those who are poor will keep working and hope to become rich someday. Because happiness will be much more complete when we have lots of money and don't have many problems in life.

Meanwhile, rich people who don't feel happy with what they currently have are rich people who are greedy and never know how to be grateful in such conditions so they are still afraid of falling into poverty someday. And you can research for yourself that a rich person who is unhappy is a rich person who has a lot of problems in his life even though that person has a lot of money in his life. Because although most problems can be solved with money, there are a few problems that cannot be solved directly by relying on money.

In living our lives we must have the ability to make adjustments, money is indeed very much needed in living life but that is not the only reason that makes people live happily and comfortably with their families. Many people who have money but they do not have the opportunity to be with their families so that happiness is not obtained. Conversely, people who do not have much money but they can live happily with their families because they have time to be with their families.

Everything needs to be sacrificed for the happiness of the family but we are also required to find money to meet the needs of life with the family. For me, money, time and togetherness are the important keys in living life and if we are able to balance them then we will definitely find happiness with our family.

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.

Op, for me, poverty is not an option, but the truth is that we can still be wealthy or rich and still be unhappy although many factor can contribute to this, those factors can be your wife or the entire family behavior or some health condition that can only be managed,  there are something that's certain about this life that I know which is humans can not have everything complete, something must be missing but would you prefer being a poor unhappy man or a rich unhappy man, although bad health issues is the major contributor to rich individauls being unhappy, the truth is that good health is a gift from God, no matter how we see it or what we do, God has the final say about that, health is for everyone one, be it good or bad. Although I come to understand that the problem that one face is being measured by the level of his wealth, poor people may have health issues but those health issues may not be known to them because of their inability to have access to good health facility and you see them lasting more, but rich people don't because once their illment is being brokered to them by the doctor, they develope high BP immediately, am not saying that it is not good to see a doctor for medical examination, am just outlining some facts thats needed to be kniwn by every individual.

As long as we are alive, money is always a need for every human being in this world. If we live without money, of course we will be increasingly miserable and it will be impossible for someone to survive. But in fact, rich people out there are still chasing him. If we get a lot of money or become rich, of course we can get this happiness, we can help many people or we can work in the rich person's company. There is nothing free in this world to meet our daily needs other than earning money.

[el kaka22]

These type of topics never sees how many people take their life when they are poor. I mean if we compare the number of people who take their life because they are poor, versus people who are rich and take their life, you will see that number is a lot more but also even percentage is a lot more. This goes to show you that people who are poor could be unhappy a lot more than people who are happy.

Of course it doesn't guarantee that you are going to be happy, of course you could still be unhappy even if you are rich, but it is correct to say "you would be more likely to be happy if you are rich than poor", because poor people are more likely to be unhappy. As a rich person you at least have one thing figured out, that's very important.

Stop listening the motivator bullshit opinion about money doesn't guarantee the happiness, you can't happy with poor condition behind how difficult get good education access, good healthy medical until how to difference level of social interaction with the other.
Keep away with bad viewed about money can't bring the happiness because with the much money we can small and help the other how to be happiness with their dreaming for education or make good justice.

I believe all people said about money can't bring the happiness most of them come from the rich person, I don't sure yet any poor people have bad viewed with the money and its most dreaming by every one how to earn much money and give us happiness later with easily to buy anything and get more respect from the other.

I highly agree into this one on which to those who had been saying that money cant buy happiness are to those people that who had already achieve such condition that they do have tons of money but still
 cant be able to achieve the real happiness into their lives but its true on what you had mentioned that it would really be just that simple to say but once you are on a condition that you are the ones who would
really be that on condition that you do almost not survive on day to day basis just because you dont have the funds or money for you to buy on what you do need then for sure you would really be
thinking up the difference and this is where you would really be molding up that mindset that you should really be that needing to make yourself that learn on what you should really be that needing to be learned
of, and this is something that would be your main priority.

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.

Don't say this to those who have suffered a lot. They will prefer to have the money and then any other problem can come on them. Buddy, some people hardly eat one meal a day, or have a nice bath, people with serious health issues that they do not have the money to cure, and some with little health issues yet still no money to get little drugs. I don't want to go deeper, money can't guarantee happiness but at some point, it will give you the privilege to things that will grant you happiness.

The percentage is 90% for all humans. Don't let anyone misguide you, just having lots of money you will force happiness on yourself people around you will be happy.

I don't want to dig upon his life and story but not all rich people have peace of mind and many of them despite having the wealth, assets and cash flow. You might even be surprised of how much money they owe to the bank or anyone that they owe a lot of money. There are many factors that can result to someone losing peace of mind and that cannot ever be bought by money. He's not selfish, he probably can't take it anymore or there's a big problem that he don't want his family to know and that's why he has called his brother for the distribution of the wealth that he's leaving to them.

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.

While for average joe like me, money can give you some sort of guarantee so that your family won't be hungry and you will be able to pay the bills every due date and that means peace to us. It all sets to what we are prioritizing. While for average joes including me, we've got a not so big problem but we are able to deal with it happily without even thinking of ending our lives. But when someone gets to that point that they want to end their lives, the problem is probably very heavy to them and they can't find refuge to any of their family members. May his soul RIP.

Well, money can’t give you all the happiness in the world but I would say, it’s even worst when you haven’t got any money. There is no peace of mind when you’ve got zero money. You’ve got everything to worry for and haven’t got a means to archive them, that’s the worst state anyone could be in. We might say some persons have made peace with not having and are living happily but I’ll tell you, these are persons that haven’t got money or know the power it actually comes with first hand.

If your ever told that money don’t give happiness, well try having and not have it again, then you would see that, you can’t even affect the least life’s in the way that you would have liked to.
Next time you cross the street and see someone in dire situation, give them a lump sum and see what joys and light you would bring to their life. Money can’t give you all the happiness in the world but, it would give you the happiness you need.

Money doesn't guarantee happiness.

Money does not guarantee happiness, but without money you will certainly not find happiness, so as _act_ said, it is better to be rich than poor without happiness.

There are many cases where many people are very rich but do not feel happy because they make money illegally, sell their conscience, and even sell their relatives in exchange for wealth. But if you know how to balance everything in life between money and relationships in life, I believe that when you are rich you will be the happiest person in the world. Happiness is when you achieve balance in life, not just money, especially dirty money never brings you happiness.

Money cannot guarantee happiness, does not provide a sense of meaning and fulfillment, but who cares actually? People earn to live, otherwise a person without money will definitely struggles in all his life and will never find a bit of happiness indeed. That’s the reason why people chose to live rich than poor, even if happiness is never that genuine, but at least we won’t live living like hell when we can’t even put food on the table for mere survival.

Its an important facet to capitalism overall that despite the many unfair points on a capitalist economy, having more money is not a guarantee of everything positive absolutely.

To me thats important because though money helps its far from everything.   I'm sad to read of this particular case but its a given this man had problems far greater then just his current money.    I relate this to economics because it more or less guarantees people will constantly circulate money hoping to exchange it for something far more valuable which is there own well being and happiness.

    Security of money is the easiest way to categorise the usefulness and efficiency of money because ultimately we do want to spend it just not on the same day we earn it.

[OrangeII]

Well, there is no guarantee of happiness with money. However, nowadays money can also make it easier for us to meet our living needs, and make life easier. Apart from that, many family problems start with the economy. I think the problem of happiness is a problem of feeling grateful, being patient, and accepting the situation.
Apart from that, I think there are many things that cause unhappiness, and one of them is economic factors. When you have a lot of money, you have at least dealt with one of those sources.

You have a point. Money does not guarantee happiness but it serve as one of the tool that make life easier to some people and to some people who have go through alot in the area of financial needs they see money as something that guarantee happiness.

Money is just a tool to bring happiness closer. But it all depends on how a person uses them. For some people, money can disappear after some time without a tangible trace, for others it can even bring grief and troubles, for others it can give them prosperity and a feeling of happiness. It all depends on many life factors. Thus, money is only a chance for prosperity and this chance must be used correctly.

Of all the elements, we cannot be separated from needs, even though money can fulfill all of ourbut with money we can buy it  in fact happiness can be obtained from other things, it's important that we can be wiser in looking at money, but it's useless if we have a lot of money but have a disease that doesn't can be cured, it seems the main key is that we have to be grateful a lot, and I see people who have a lot of money,they look like they have a lot on their minds  and are not satisfied with what they get because happiness can be obtained simply depending on how we interpret it.
