I while ago one morning, exhausted from working double shifts at my job, my boss walked in.
"Hey! Howz it going?" He greeted me
"Alright i guess" I replied unenthusiastically
"Just alright? what would make you happier?"
"More money"
"Hah! Money won't make you happy buddy"

He then left with cash out envelope of profits that counted up the night before and left.


before i leave my opinion on this i want to hear what you think. is it true? money won't make you happy?

    money does make people happy.... in terms of materialism

    who wouldn't want more money anyway?

    well if you have a family and can't feed them, i doubt your very happy.
    Got money to feed em, probably a whole lot happier

    More money = New Computer = Epic Gaming
    More money also = various other fancy electronics

    I'm pretty sure money will make me happy :)
    ...For a while

    Money will make you happy until you get past the subsistence level (basic everyday needs). No, money alone won't make you happy. I've known people who were rich and constantly miserable, because their whole life was about making money, worrying about it, and basically being on a treadmill of acquistion. Then there are people who have lower paying jobs, but manage their money and have a satisfying family, relationships, friends, well rounded life. Balance is the key to a happy life, not gobs of $$.

    money won't make you happy but it will take alot of stress outta your life , thus enabling you to appreciate/focus on all the good stuff

    I think everyone has a threshold where more money won't make you happy. But to a certain extent for everyone, money does make people happy. Makes life easier too
