Does money = happiness? Did you ever have any unhappy moment ever since you became rich? The unhappy moment has to be NOT money related. For example, if you
only have $2 million, you can't complain because you can't buy a private jet (since this is still money related). So, did money bring you happiness?

There are two ways to get wealthy:
1) make more money 2) want less stuff #2 works for you. ywia |

It doesn't = happiness at all but it does relieve you from some of the stresses of day to day life.

Honestly, unless you are super filthy rich like Bill Gates, I think no matter how much money you have you always want more. People tend to spend toward or
slightly above their income levels, no matter what that level is.
Really, the key is what kuta said...spending less than you earn and being happy with that. |

I make a good living, but I work hard for it. To me, the big difference would be if I ever became so rich that I didn't have to work.

As long as you have enough to not worry and have some extras, that's all you need.

Well I make a lot more than I did ten years ago and I have a house & car. Yes, I am happier but would be much happier if I won the lottery and got to stay
at home and do nothing all day. ;)

When I found out I had a cracked tooth I was extremely unhappy. I was also in pain.
I was unhappy about what I was going to have to go through to deal with the issue. I was not worried about how much it was going to cost. Money does not equal happiness. It only frees you from the extra stress of having to scrape together the funds to pay for unexpected expenses. |
