Is it possible to find happiness in money?

[gygheyzeus]

I want to hear everyones' opinions on this subject.

Reason I'm asking is because I recently sold two domain names for $6,000US. I'm very pleased with this sudden ass-load of cash. But, to say that it makes me "happy" doesn't seem like the right word.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Maybe not happiness, but less stressful, definitely.

Money does NOT buy happiness, but it often enables you to live life to the fullest and sometimes with less stress.

No.

I dont think getting this cash has taken away any stress. However, it has provided me with a means of buying something i want. But at the same time, it provides other types of stress: 1) driving a brand new car (actually, my second new car now) when i'm 17 2) the INSANE insurance rates I'll be paying for it 3) this car is a hot ticket right now... lots of them have been stolen.

let me put it this way.

without money you would be lot more hungry.

Money makes me happy if there's enough to pay the bills?

 

[ShadowHunter]

Yes it is.

 

[Mustangrrl]

Send the money to me, I'm willing to test the theory for you. hehe
You should save it! Security = happiness to me; I am much happier since I paid off my house and my car, more content.

Tell me where you live and I'll find out

 

[Cattlegod]

yes

 

[bandXtrb]

No.

If money = happiness , then the goal of everyones life would be too make as much money as possible???

I find they correlate in no way whatsoever.

No, but I want to wallow in like bill Gates and suffer like he does day in day out. I know it'll be hell but somebody got to do it and I'll vollunteer to be sacrificed in that manner.


Honey, pack my bags quickly!

Where are we going?

We are not going anywhere, I'm rich and I don't need your sorry @ss.
Playboy mansion here I come!

I'll tell you what...if you don't think you can buy happiness with money, I can teach you how.

Price: All your money.

 

[Moonbeam]

Well if you were to loose a thousand dollars and find it would you be happy?

Rich or poor, it's nice to have money.

where you cybersquatting or was it just luck that someone wanted your domain names?

 

[gopunk]

yes, it is possible. this doesn't mean that everybody will or can, but for certain people, i believe it is possible. not because money is what it is, but because of what it can do. for example, if i got a lot of money, i'd buy my own carribean island or something and live there with my family and friends till i died, free to do whatever the hell i wanted. and that would make me extremely happy.

 

[littlelee]

its all in the mind ie when or what makes you happy
