Healthy mind and body= Happiness.

Money only brings happiness to the extreme poor. Once attained the income necessary for survival and security, more money adds nothing to the well-being of the individual.

@BrettSchall LMAO!

@jstanl I guess you haven't figured out why money can't buy happiness since you have figured out why millionaires kill themselves. Maybe the key to happiness is has a something to do with a relationship with God?

Who ever says "money is not happiness" is lying. Money helps and a lot. Poverty doesn’t necessarily means “happiness” either.

LOL, these people are lying. They wouldn't have majored in what they choose if that were the case. Money buys happiness hand over foot. It pays bills, destroys debt, allows you to move forward in life. People who kill themselves with millions of dollars don't make sense to me at all. Money solves practically all problems,

@kay19833 (from previous) you can start fulfilling your wants. But I wouldn't mind if you tell me if your stituation is really helpless don't mind pm me.

@kay19833 Can you please tell me why you can't afford basic needs of life which you claim food, clothing, shelter and rent but still manage to own a PC with network connection which many people living in third world countries couldn't even afford one. Your country states your from poland and 27 years of age, your still young and able and if your willing to make changes to your life and look for a proper job and take care of your basic needs of life. Once your needs are fulfil, then (next)

@BrettSchall lol don't even get met started on that. i think its to make them feel better about not being rich.i bet you if someone gave them the choice to be rich or not they would choose rich. and i bet if they walk down the street and find a 100 dollar bill, they would be quite excited about it.you don't even have to be materialistic. its also being able to afford life. i don't want to worry about losing my job,paying my mortgage one time or being scared of a recession. i really dont

I want enough money to live in comfort, put plenty away for retirement, not have to worry about bills, drive a nice car, travel the world and explore everything life has to offer. I also want to be able to comfortably do this while supporting a wife and kids. I don't care about a number, but I do care about the experiences it will bring me and the lifestyle I can maintain, not to mention the feeling of accomplishment. Right now, that would be about 100k for myself and 150 with a family.
