    Would money really make you happy or would your life be the same if you have lots of money?

    it's pretty sad when you see/hear of miserable rich people. what's the problem??? have some fun with it.

    what's worse are the people you see that win the lotto and they're quoted as saying "not much will change, in fact I'm not even quitting my job..."

    WHAT???? are you mental?

    of course I'd be happier...so long as the money didn't become 'my god'.

    if nothing else I would use it to make a run at the Wacko .

    the answer is no, what you need in life it balance. And money can help make you happy, but money itself doesn't and never will.

    i would be happier if i was makign 10,000$ per week, im damn sure of it..

    heres a nice statistic for all you people that say money doesnt matter.. according to the CDC less children become depressed if their family earns more money. I dont feel like looking up the link to the pdf statististics, but if u type CDC depresssion i'm sure it will come up..

    i found this out today why creating a calculator to estimate depression levels based solely on age.

    well, if the idea is that you are miserable anyways. I'd rather do it and be rich. But of course you can be happy and rich :p

    I'm happy with the money I have.

    Health, property, car, 3 or 4 holidays a year.

    Money isn't everything, but yeah -- I'd be happy. Why? Because I could give the things to my family and friends that they've always needed/wanted. Plus, I wouldn't have to worry about where my next meal was coming from or how I was going to pay a certain bill in a given month. Money can definitely make people happy, provided they know how to use it and do not let it take over their lives.

    Not sure why I got a red for "showing off" but anyway, yes health is very important, much more than money - having to attend a family funeral this week made me realise that life is too short, and you have to enjoy it with or without money before it's too late.

    I`d be happier than a pig in shit, in all honesty. Pay off all our debts, buy a house instead of paying through the nose in rent, pay someone to clean, and enjoy life.

    And quit my stupid 7 day a week, 364 days a year job. And live off the $5 a month I make from Adsense ;)

    As people say "Health is wealth" so if you have health, then you could be happy. But if you have $xxxxxxxx, and you are unhealthy, that money cant give you hapiness. The main thing is health not wealth ;)
