hollysaffron: how much money buys happiness?


Money can't buy happiness, but most rich people are successful and that makes them happier than people who have been losers all their lives.......... it's a myth that being poor is wonderful.

I've been miserable and poor and miserable and rich - I prefer the miserable and rich to going cold and hungry and having that awful feeling that I am trapped by my poverty and can't afford a bus ride let alone the ability to book a flight at a moment's notice.

The best is to feel good about yourself........ being in some way successful is going to make you feel good - and then, as a by-product of your success, you'll be 'rich' - right?

thumbs up

No, seriously, I have mixed with the extremely rich and somewhat famous over the years and the lifestyle that goes with it is NOT for me, to be frank. I don't need a lavish lifestyle, just enough that I don't have a seizure every time a bill comes through would be fine and dandy with me, thanks!
cheers

Same here.....I don't want a billionaire lifestyle and have to employ security guards and have no privacy - as a kid I hated being surrounded by servants...... just enough money to pay the bills and have regular holidays and take care of inflation is fine by me too! thumbs up

Nope, money doesn't buy happiness but if one has little or no morals, it can rent happiness for an hour or so... laugh

Just enough to be comfortably living. Ya know, food etc. so you aren't hungry, or without a roof over your head, or heat or something. But generally money doesn't buy happiness. I had a phase I was very unhappy and I spent so much money on myself buying whatever I wanted; movies and stuff...didn't make me happy if anything it just fustrated me that it didn't work!

Money can't buy me happiness, but neither can poverty.


My dream is to live in a house, not in a cardboard box. No pun intended.
