They say money can't buy happiness, but being poor sure doesn't guarantee it either!!I think someone has basically already said that, but that is my philosophy to the money haters. It takes money to make it in this world, and while some can claim to be happy without money, life is just a whole lot easier and better with it. Sticking to the article, money can help you keep up with your health. It can give you a sense of security for you and more importantly, your children.I would dare even say th... [ More ]

I know I breathe easier when I have money. I'm way depressed when I don't. I am always happier when I can reach in my pocket and pull out some cash to pay for stuff. So are my children.I think having millions more than you need could be a burden because everyone is trying to get at your money and you have to spend most of your time protecting it from people who would rather bilk you out of it.I'll have to get back to you on this when I have some

if money buys happiness, why is it that most wealthy people seem unhappy or unfulfilled? especially the ones that pursued wealth on the precept that money equaled happiness/security? seen way too many people to give validity to that claim. money buys things and experiences . having money can put one in a position that one who does not have money can experience. like someone else pointed out in an earlier debate about this. better health care, better nutritional opportunities, etc. bu...

LOL interceptor.I think this is a double edged sword. If people say money doesnt buy happiness, they are right. But if you have money you already have happiness, there is no need to buy it.I have seen wealthy people who are happy and sad. And I've seen not so wealthy people who are happy and sad.I think being rich or poor has its +'s and -'s. It actually depends on how you live your life.

I agree money itself can't buy happiness but its offspring can; financial freedom and a secure future which result in peace of mind for you and your family.

Money can also bring sadness and problems, but it can also definitely bring happiness.
