This chapter gives you a quick overview of the relationship between money and happiness. If you have clothes to wear, food to eat, and a roof over your head, increased disposable income has just a small influence on your sense of well-being. A recent article in the Journal of Consumer Research showed that, in general, our feelings for material purchases fade more quickly than they do for experiential purchases. Experiences, on the other hand, appreciate: Your memories of the things you do—vacations you take, concerts you go to—become fonder with time because you tend to recall the positives and forget the negatives. American culture is consumption-driven. The media teaches you to want the clothes and cars you see on TV and the watches and jewelry you see in magazine ads. In other words, if you want to be content, you should own—and want—less Stuff. Because Stuff has such an important role in your happiness and unhappiness , it deserves a capital S.
Money is important.
In their personal-finance classic Your Money or Your Life Penguin, , Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin argue that the relationship between spending and happiness is non-linear, meaning every dollar you spend brings you a little less happiness than the one before it. More spending does lead to more fulfillment—up to a point. But spending too much can actually have a negative impact on your quality of life. The authors suggest that personal fulfillment—that is, being content with your life—can be graphed on a curve that looks like this:. In this part of the curve, a little money brings a large gain in happiness. If you have nothing, buying things really does contribute to your well-being. After the basics are taken care of, you begin to spend on comforts: a chair to sit in, a pillow to sleep on, a second pair of pants. These purchases, too, bring increased fulfillment.

Different people have different point of views in this aspect. For some, money is life. For some, its just a need not a priority!

Money is KING. Money can make one go on holiday enjoy life, able to help those who r in the need of it and it will reduce comparison of other people’s pockets. Money brings peace and prosperity and makes one feel totally independent.
It makes one feel that u cant lack anything and u can live ur life freely without any1s criticisms, and orders from all kinds hwppy weirdos :P.
Money is the basic need in our lives. Without money life is impossible on Earth. Money should only be earned through hard work. It makes everyone happy including you. The people around will appreciate your work, which makes you feel proud. You could even give gifts to others to make them happy. When they feel happy, you feel more happy. More money gives us joy and happiness but lack of money gives us pain and problems. That is why the more money you have the better life you can lead and you will also be happy.
I should be happy. I have a great husband and a beautiful daughter. Nor do we have any money to go out with each other or friends. This has caused many fights in our marriage stress and I have lost many friends. When everyone goes out for drinks should I just sit there and not order anything, and can’t afford a babysitter Plus Its affecting my daughter because I can’t afford to bring her to classes or anywhere to socialize.
You don’t need to be rich to be happy but you do need enough for the necessities. I’ll widen the question to include trade in general.
The fact of the matter is that no one human is capable of performing all necessary functions of a proper society by themselves. It is essential to have a functioning society, with maie active cooperative trade market. Trade, in its most basic form, is not sufficient to fulfill the needs of toady’s modern society. For this we require nationally standardized monetary units; money.
Function in society is completely and utterly impossible without indulging in this more advanced trade market. Achieving happiness is not done in a cave outside of society, but rather embracing society and understanding the necessity of trade. Having a sufficient supply of money is enough to satisfy any needs or cravings one could possibly imagine. An abundance of money may make us solitary, but a lack of money will most certainly create stress.
Why is education so important? So we can be successful in later life. Being in poverty will not let us be free to indulge ourselves in what we want. We buy things to make ourselves happy and others happier. They usually say money is not enough to make mak happy. No, it’s enough to help us afford happiness. If you want a car, it’s your happiness, buy it.
If you want really love, use money to buy presents, a beautiful house, a beautiful garden, No matter what anyone says, if you have money you can pay all your bills, you don’t have to be on any «list» at the doctor’s office, because when you pay, you get the job. For me, family and friends take the first place in the «importance list», education is second and money is.
If i have the support of my family and friends I have a perfect life, but sadly they wont be around forever. That’s why I need a propper education so I can eard money.
Imagine yourself in this situation what do you want all worlds money or your friends and family to stay on earth. Of course,You will choose money. Think for a second what will happen if all your family and friends your happiness will vanish from the earth. Can you survive only money? Think before you speak. My favourite habbit or gandi baat Amke is important.
People say, «money can’t buy happiness». This is definitely not true. There are cooperations that collect money to donate to maks world countries and help them improve their state. Without money, unfortunate children will maintain malnutrition and will have to suffer. But with a little bit of money, many problems can be solved! Of course money can change your appearance but it can not change your happiness in life.
You may have money than anyone else but are you sure that you happier than them? You have much money, you certainly have a lot of friends. But who is your real friend? Who does always go with you in every situation? Or all of them are abusing moneu Money is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for the good life for happiness and wisdom ,while money can certainly buy a lot of goods that make us happyit cannot buy true friendship the reciprocal attachment that fills the need for affiliation therefore i am disagree to money is buy happiness.
Well money isn’t the only thing that makes a person happy. Money actually only brings happiness in that moment. For example if you win a lotto ticket ur new friends don’t like you they are here and they like your money. So money actually brings you feack maoe. I am against money brings happiness.
There are also various scientific studies that prove money doesn’t give you true happiness, just temporary contentment. Please read and listen to what I am saying, thank you! Rich people spend their whole dbeate trying to get money. They don’t care about their family. This makes them greedy.
Many rich people mostly actors and actresses committed Sucide because of depressions. Most rich get sick. Even funny videos make you happy.
It is not necessary that the only thing making you happy is money. If you want money soooo much, then think of money is on trees. You would have no oxygen, no fruits, and no one would do jobs. Rich people also never do to school, or college or anything debte their future is already secured by money. So I’m 16 a couple of months ago all I wanted is money now I’m working 2 jobs as a sophmore in highschool.
I’m saving all my money but getting money made me happy and let me think I could buy a lot of things I’d want right. I’m saving the money for college and for life in general. Doing all that has destroyed me inside I have no girlfriend.
Like I said I have no girlfriend etc it kinda sucks. I’ve never had one to so I mean. But I know in life now that money isn’t life sometimes it may be out that Way. I can’t believe this is even I question, so money is going to make you happy. Far enough u get others poi t of views but you can’t buy true love with money.
True love comes along you can’t buy it. You can’t by a mother, love is hard to get and no ey does not bring it. By using this site, you agree to our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.

Lately, I’ve been wondering about this saying Money can’t buy happiness. To what extent does it hold true? Cna find. It’s a pretty well known saying and we all have heard about it. I am sure at some points in our lives we must have pondered over it’s supposed significance. But what does it really mean? It signifies that money is not the most important thing in the world.

It is not the highway that leads you to your destiny: the eternal happiness. People live and die over money, in-fact if you look at close enough and think about it for a second, almost everything that we spend our lives doing is in the pursuit of that fabled printed paper. We work tireless day and night, wash down unfathomable amounts of coffee to stay awake; all in a desperate struggle mohey earn more and fast. The nights spent awake, the mornings spent scrambling to get dressed and get to work, all in that very struggle. Some people spent all their lives in that effort but it always seems so far. If so, how does one go about attaining it?
