Sakura-Kyoukan Angelic_Highlights but if money can buy that you then it is artificial happiness if it releys on material posssessions, what if there is a fire etc... then you can afford fire insurance! Personally i think money has corrupted society, but as one of the millions of people forced to suck at it's teet there's nothing we can do but try to earn enough of it to live without worry. too true but of course that was just one eventuality of course wink getting presents makes you happy yes because either a special occasion or just because the person is feeling generous smile so i suppose that brings a limited ammount of happiness...

Money can buy love, only momentaryaly...such as a gift given to you by a dying family member as a token of love

IMWanderling I suppose it would depend on what it was you were spending money on. If I was buying stuff just for myself, then no...it wouldn't make me happy. If I was buying stuff for others, then yes...money would make me happy. 3nodding so buying stuff for others makes u happy? ...... ... i can help make u happy..lol..

well, I've always thought of it like this::
If you have money, you have happiness, to an extent. When that extent is reached, one must find another source of happiness. It is this fact that drives most rich people insane.

ok, lets think about this one for a second.
lets say i'm single. i make like 40,000 a year. now i'm makin pretty good money for being single, but there are limitations. i can't live like i make 400,000 a year. so i'm only able to live like i make 40,000 a year. i have a car, a house, clothing, and gadgets. so someone can look at me and say that i'm well off.
but people aren't easily satisfied. we need more. thats y we fantasize about things. when we finally get what we want (material), most of the times, we find that it doesn't make us as happy as we thought it would. So then we fantasize about other things. and then its just a vicious circle.
the same goes for someone that makes 400,000, or even more. its about happiness with ones self. not because we have money or things. because when we die, all that stays behind. life is about being happy with yourself and loving others as you love yourself. to treat others how you would like to be treated. personal happiness cannot be bought, it is lived.

no it doesnt if you have money people only want to know you for that
and if you dont have money you have proper friends because they know you have nothing of value to give except from your friendship 3nodding

I think wat you say about money causing less stress but wat about people who choose not to have money so that they can help others e.g mission workers(charity workers), i would personly feel a whole lot happier if my money made some1 else with nothing happy
