"Money can't/never buys anyone happiness" is different than "money can prevent rich people from having problems." Many people use money as a tool to deliver enjoyment and happiness, to get them what they want, improve their quality of life, and facilitate goals. This goes on daily. Many rich people do not have the problems you describe. Poor people can have the problems you describe. Good to see you, by the way.

Materialistic possessions can never fill the void of no passion, love or laughter in you're life. The things you own do indeed own you.

OK, let's stick with a more obvious example. Money buys many people a better or higher education. It gives them happiness. That is not money owning you. That is money facilitating more happiness, satisfaction, and options. Many people feel and become happier when they can get better jobs and positions from the education they bought with money.

I don't consider paying money for higher education to be a materialistic possession, in the UK you are given higher education based on individual performance not on ability to pay for it.

There is no difference between higher education and a book (material possession) you buy to improve yourself. Both cost money and can deliver happiness. There is no difference between paying money to a teacher to instruct you and purchasing a home with a lake because the lake brings you happiness. Buying a swing set for your grandkids is a material possession that can and does deliver happiness for many involved. Money is a tool that can deliver happiness and does for many people, every day. People are taught, indirectly from their parents and society sometimes, that money is evil and not your friend. I believe that is the reason people go around defending against the fact that money obviously can and does deliver or facilitate lots of happiness, on all sorts of level, like many other tools do.

Money is not the problem, GREED is! Ever hear the story of Kingston Tech in Tustin, Ca, only if more businesses were like them. The two asian guys that owned the Ethernet Card business made a ton of money a few years back, they decided that that was too much money for the two of them and told everyone from the janitor up that they were going to double their pay for the year. Wallstreet called them stupid! Stories like this are one in a million! How many innocent people have died over money, I would have to say it beats out cancer!

Money does not buy you respect, hard work does, I'm not impressed with people who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth! Last edited on 04:03 pm by wallstreetman |

True, although I can argue that to some degree. Anyway, we weren't talking about respect, or money being able to do everything. We were talking about money buying happiness. Which it can and does regularly all over the world. Other things can and do buy happiness of course, but money, like any tool that can get you things to improve your quality of life or enjoyment, is one of them.

Money makes everyone of us happy everyday. From the basics of food and shelter to being able to BUY even the most simple thing for someone you care for. Money is just money. It makes no decisions. It can be used wisely or wrongly. Money will not know or care. I say money can and does buy us happiness. I also say it sure as hell can't buy us all we want in the way of happiness. Somethings it can buy you is love, health (although it can help out) and it can not make one decision for itself.

People usually love you when you feed their starving family with the food you bought with money.

was a typing fail on my part. I meant within my total sentence can't. But what Frank said is certainly not wrong but it wasn't what i was trying to say in my reply. Sorry for the confusion.
