Does money make you happy?
    #7930388 - 01/25/08 03:29 PM (16 years, 7 days ago)

Let me re-phrase... Not having money makes me unhappy. It sucks when you cant go out with your friends because you have absolutely no money. I'm stuck at home because I cannot afford going to a bar, or going to the movies, or playing pool or getting food etc. Sorry, I needed to vent. I need a job. I need a life :shrug:

I'm with you man. I mean I'm already "happy" but having money would definitely make me happier lol

It just sucks being broke all the time and not being able to get the things you need but hopefully this will change soon

Having money is nice but I am not unhappy without it. Money just improves quality of life and lets me buy more things.

Usually somewhat expensive things that I use up fairly quickly.

Thank god pool plays for itself. The only thing I need money for is beer. Otherwise I can go without.

I'm 18 and I've been wise enough with the money I've earned to put it away and avoid excessive spending; I've saved almost ten grand, and if I follow through with my current projects over the next two or three years, I should be sitting on a $50,000-$60,000 nest egg. Consequently, I don't have much of a desire for more money, because I don't spend it anyways, but when I'm in my mid-twenties, stuck in debt and poor as Hell, money will probably make me very happy. :awesome:

It definitely opens up more oppurtunities to be happy, but it's a juggling act trying to exploit any of it without inviting bullshit.

Pros and Cons, you know.

Someone backed into my parked 2 month old car and took off.  It didn't do much, but it really changed how I felt about my car. Probably didn't happen because they thought I was rich, but they damn sure didn't leave any info or ins.  :crankey: 

Worst part about it is that the problems you have change when you get money.  You never realize the schemeing nature of people until you have something they want, be it money or whatever.  It changes you and especially how others are around you. 

Consumer mentality can kick in pretty easy, too.  Depressed?  Go buy something at one of those expensive stores where the clerk knows you by name and kisses your ass.  Works, but doesn't last.


Don't tell anyone about your success.  They either don't care or will hate your for it.


Pretend you don't have any money and don't expect it to fix any problems other than financial and you'll be much much happier.

i took a class called the economics of happiness.

the overall finding was that: money increases subjective well-being (happiness) up until a certain level (around $15,000/yr in the US).

i think that figure is a bit off, but 'eh?

Scenario: You're walking along and find a $100 bill on the ground. Are you happier than before you found the bill?

Of course. Of course money can make you happy. Money buys food, shelter, clothing, and the aforementioned high tech gadgetry (and the erm...relatively costly expendables). I know there are plenty of unhappy people with lots of money, but if I get nice a raise or something, it's damn sure gonna make my day.

I don't want to live in an expensive house and drive an expensive car right away, but I do look forward to not having to worry about spending too much money on lunch at Taco Bell or something, lol. Part of me can't wait till I'm done with school and will finally be making a good wage.

Money would make me happy more so than I could be happy now, if I had a lot of money now I would be happier, plain and simple.
