Do you think that money is really what make people happy?

I don't think it is the money that makes people happy it is the things they get with the money. Alao, you can have airplanes and a multi-million dollar house and still be unhappy, unless you have someone to share it with. I think having people you love around makes having money alot happier. You getto enjoy the finer things in life.

Yes . I feel they do. If I started off rich ,I may not know what was too much or not. If i were midle class and won the lottery , Iwouldn't spend expensively just spend excessfully!

What makes people happy for the long term? Romance, friendships, good health, puppies, and kittens.\n\nWhat doesn't? Money.\n\nYou've heard it ad infinitum, "Money can't buy happiness." Now there's scientific data to give the old saw new teeth.\n\nUniversity of Southern California economist Richard Easterlin surveyed 1,500 people over nearly three decades to see what puts a kick in their step and a smile on their faces. His results, published in September in the online edition of Proceedings for the National Academy of Sciences, reveal that time with family and good health are the stuff of happiness.\n\nYou will find the detailed study about happiness/money at this site:\nhttp://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/100/19/11176\n\nGood luck on your debate!\n\nWealth, on the other hand, doesn't necessarily lead to joy and contentment. One reason: People with more money usually want more things. More McStuff.\n\ns

Honestly money shouldn't be your deciding factor.  Money will eventually come.  You want to chose the job that will best suit you in the long-term.  Why chose a job that is fun at the start but boring and monotonous after a few years.  True happiness is doing a job that doesn't feel like work.

Money can not buy happiness. If it does than that is to say that I can buy your feelings and if you are feeling really low then that means that I am can buy you to be happy. That is wrong. But it is true that it does buy toys that makes you happy if you are a child and I do not mean literally either I mean even at heart.

I would be happy to win the lottery.  The problem with inheriting money is who died?\nI think what you mean with your question is does money buy happiness.  And the answer to that is no, of course not.  But it helps when you don't have to worry about money and you can focus on following your bliss.

Money is not everything and we have dreams for a reason.\n\nWhy is it that some people think money is so all important? Look at some of the wealthiest people of the world, they are also some of the most unhappy people around.\n\nPersonally, I've had money, nothing and now am in the middle, which is the best place to be by far. Money does not bring happiness, often it brings people who just want you for it. \n\nFollow your dream, it is in your heart for a reason. Make sure you research it, network with those in it now and possibly try it out for a summer job. One good way to see if the dream is really a dream...and not a nightmare.

Money makes you comfortable, provides a quality living environment, and helps you sleep easy at night.  It doesn't guarantee happiness.  Happiness (to me) is derived from your relationships with those closest to you and the enjoyment of life's simple pleasures.  Motorcycle riding on a perfect day, laughter, romance, sunsets, feeling good health and helping others.

Yes, but not the kind of happiness that most people talk about.  I can buy a toy for my son and watch him play with it or he and I play together.  That makes me happy and I paid for it.

I don't think money can buy you happiness, but it can give you peace of mind, regarding bills, and being able to buy what you need. \nAs long a you are a good person to start, this will not change you, I would make you a better person, because if it was me, I would be able to help the people that need money for food shelter, and so forth. \nI like to help people, so I would first do for my family, save money, put it in the bank. Then I would help those that are less fortunate. As long as you spread your wealth, you will never go wrong. When the trouble start is when you become a person that thinks that you are better than others for the money you have.\nI hope you win the lottery, that way you will be able to at least relax on your bills, and you sound to have a good heart, so I think you will the one to help others.\nGood luck, play the lottery, if you don't play at least 1.00 you will never know.

OF COURSE, it becomes a part of your everyday life.. especially those who are fallen in debts and have no one to relieve them from their burden..\ni've also found out that the more you give the more you get in return.. in the begining i thought that it was just talk to make people give more but it actually works.. its not only the money you get in return but the whole feeling of peace you feel inside i cant explain it but its beautiful.

poor and happy and win the lotery lol\n\nSeriously, money dont bring happyness. All of the contrary  they bring worries, selfishness, and greed. The more money you have you will always want more. \nYou could have all the money in the world if you dont have health or someone special beside you to enjoy them with. One worry of the people with lots of money is that they can never really know if people like them for who they are or for their money.\n\nI wanna recomand u a great movie which is related to your question. is called Trading Places from 1983 with Eddy Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. is a great movie. watch it.

be happy with who you are. the rest when you love yourself, will fall into place. \n\npeople think it is material things, or money that make people happy, however, it is the things that cannot be bought that are the most valuable. \n\nlove, health and happiness.  they are not things...they are everything.   you can't hold them, or buy them, they just are.
