This question came to mind today after
speaking with a friend of mine...

What makes you content in life? What financial level
makes you happy...

1. Money isn't that important as long as you have love.

2. Just need enough to live comfortably.
(bills payed, food on the table, love in your home)

3. Must have lots of money and all the bells and whistles.
(4-wheelers, boats, expensive home, and lots of money)

Just curious....


Me, I'm content with #2
My friend is a #3

Yes, I know...

But everyone has a comfortable spot when it comes to money...
My question is what is yours...

For example...

I would be unhappy and uncomfortable if I was a #1.
If my bills are hardly payed and I'm struggling.

Thank you for your answer...

I guess my question was asked due to deeper thoughts...

Everyone deals with issues and struggles at some point
and time with money. I wish there was no such thing. I wish
money did not play such a big role in life. But it does and
has cause many to divorce over finanical instabilies. It
can create friction where there is no need for it. To believe
money doesn't play a role in life is something I can not relate
to. Beings that it keeps a roof over your childrens head, clothes
on your back, food on the table and helps you get to work to make more to survive on a daily basis.

Im a #2 I have never been a material person and posessions don't amount to happiness for me, but being surrounded by love, good friends and family is what constitutes happiness for me!!!

i just want and require enough money to live comfotably. Money or materialistic possession do not make a person happy.

I am happy with the love of my family and friends. Life to me is more about having fun then it is worrying about how big my home is. This has helped me regain peace, because i focus on having a simply life that has little stress, hence helping me create more happiness.
