To what extent, money plays a role in happy life? Do poverty- striken people have happy life like rich people? Is it possible to be poor and yet happy?

Money in the colonies equates to beaver pelts. I have never been able to find enough beaver to keep me happy. Then again, one REALLY good beaver is worth more than all the muskrats one can trap!

(PS - Canadian joke....just ignore if it doesn't make sense!)

To what extent do you class people as poor . When my marriage ended I lost my house it was sold so I got money from it . At my age I couldn't go back to buying at almost fifty on my low wage .
Ok in Australia there are rich mega rich middle class working middle class poor working poor .
Now I'm having issues with my employer legal so I won't mention that .
But some of us older guys know we are working poor .
I did try to get a loan to rebuy my house .
Think like the first time they almost choked on my wage .they over valued my house it didn't sell well I moved on .
We working poor seem to be credit risks 21 years with one employer low wage credit risk
So I lost my house decided to rent I rent from a charity very close to the CBD .
If like my first buy I'd end up in the really down trodden areas crime is high people aren't nice .

So to answer to your question I'm happier being poor yes as long as I pay rent I have a house to live in if I earn too much money im out the door if rent from elsewhere .
Employers hold wages over our heads as a tool
As a worker not paid since late December normally I'd rush back .
Lucky I had money my employer didn't know about and seeing I'm injured government pays low benefits. And employer wants me back now 100 percent I won't lie I may never be 100 percent what happens then
Poor get poorer
Rich get richer

Happiness does not depend on money.

But what is happiness with out a meaning in life?

unlaoised: The first man ever to multitask
I'm not quite Henry David Thoreau, but last Christmas season friends took me out of this little Bugtussle town on a nice vacation. When we went into one of the larger cities, (guess I've been Grizzly Adams a tad too long...) my heart pounded, I got excited, it was SO SWELL. Why? Good Heavens--THE STORES!!!!!!!!!They actually make cool stuff people can BUY!! That week, I had it all--money, happiness, a condo with a beach view--money may not be able to buy happiness, but it's way ahead of what's in second place!!rolling on the floor laughing
