Do you believe money cannot buy happiness?

[Plurralbles]

I think one needs money to reach what htey want in life so... yes. I will never doubt it.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Yes. I do believe it. My life would be incredibly shallow without my friends and family. If I was rich, I think the relationships would be strained at best. Gone at worst.

Still, one can hope to find a happy medium!

Happiness can't really be bought, but money can buy you a ton of things that will bring happiness...

 

[Estocavio]

I bought myself some happiness just yesterday, in the form of a new HDTV. So yes, money can DEFINITELY buy my happiness at least.

Vampire Assassin

Worst movie ever.
Worse than Twilight.

what's that have to do with this thread?
and could i make people fight to the death for a cash price if so then ya i would be happy, that and the fact me and friends are materialistic asshats who would be happy so long as something new keep coming out i could buy, and i would work toward perfecting a jetpack because as a nerd i fuckin* love jetpacks. did i censor that right?

Money buys ice cream, ice cream makes me happy, ergo, money buys happiness.

Honestly though, no. Money cannot buy happiness, because happiness is not on sale, I was upset as well, but it isn't coming back untill Friday... wait, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that money cannot buy happiness because all things material are not eternal, something that is not eternal cannot bring true happiness, which is why electronics or any other substance does not make you happy, it simply creates the illusion of happiness.

Happiness is obtained through living life, and attaining a form of inner peace, and self acceptance. The day money can buy these things is the day money can buy happiness (I used happiness a lot in this reply).

Well since happiness is not a tangible or physical product which is sold, money cannot buy that. However, money can buy many things that can make me happy. In that respect, a lot of money would surely make me very happy.

Like Daniel Tosh sai-

Like Danial Tosh said if money can't buy you happness then atleast you're rich enough to make everyone else around you unhappy. And thats how the activision bussiness plan was born.

Damn it! Ninjas...

Well, I was going to post this too:

 

[Harkwell]

Maybe money can't buy true happiness, but poverty isn't any better at it. By a long shot. You need money to buy food, shelter, and water; if you don't have those things you're probably not very happy (unless you're constantly on drugs, which also cost money.) I do think there is a reasonable amount of money a person can have wherein having significantly more wouldn't make them significantly happier, but the fact still stands that you need some basic necessities.

Law of Diminishing Returns? Or am I off?

 

[wolf92]

It can buy wave runners, hookers and any movie you want. If those things don;t make you happy, then you're just being difficult

 

[Treeinthewoods]

It would buy some happiness for me, that's for damn sure. Money can't buy happiness but it can buy all the stuff that brings me happiness, that is to say a stable future and no need to work unless it's something I really want to do (volunteer work, open a restaurant, something like that).

 

[ThatOneJewYouNo]

I quote/paraphrase Daniel Tosh when I say this:
"I think the phrase 'money can't buy happiness' should end in '...just kidding.' Have you ever seen someone frown while riding a wave runner? Have you? HAVE YOU??? No seriously... Have you..?"

EDIT: I knew people would get to this joke before me... >_>
Oh well, it's still funny.

 

[Cazza]

Money wouldn't achieve me happiness. But I would have a side effect of happiness because I'm out doing things I wanted to do instead of working most the time to get money to live.

 

[chris11246]

money doesn't buy happiness it just allows you more opportunities for it most of the time.

 

[300ccs of medicine]

based on the commutative property of currency exchange, and the established fact that happiness cannot in turn be sold for money, no, I do not believe that money can buy happiness. It can, however, buy a yacht.

 

[Mr. Gency]

Money can not buy happiness. It can buy items that come bundled with happiness, though.

 

[sumanoskae]

Happiness is easier to find when you don't have to worry about money

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

Money cannot buy you happiness. However, it CAN buy things that make you happy. It just takes a bit of creative thinking to do it. For example, funding a team of engineers that are trying to build FLAMETHROWER GLOVES so that you can simulate pyrokinesis would, eventually pay off, beause you could then buy a pair and play with FIRE! AHAHAHA!

Maybe that's too distructive... Funding AI research. That'd be cool. Or just buying costumes, if you like dressing up. Or buying things that allow you to have your privacy if you're like me and don't like other people. The possibilities are endless! You could go on a cruise around the world, impress your significant other with a big diamond on a platinum chain, take collecting to a whole new level with 3 dedicated rooms for stamps, bottle caps or what have you, take up fencing or just donate it! It's not the money, it's what you do with it, for you or others, that makes you happy.
