Does money buy happiness?

[#1]

A common question asked by people who are just starting.

Is it worth it? 

I will start. The short answer to it might be Yes, but if it comes in exchange for your health, and your loved ones then it's probably not worth it.

Looking forward to what you think about this topic!

Have a great day 🙂

Best,

Sohail

Hi, Sohail. It's an interesting question. Of course, you can do that, but only for a limited period of time.

Sohail,

That has been one of my LinkedIn Poll questions with thousands of people taking the Poll.

Is that so? That's very interesting William. I would highly appreciate it if you could send me a link to it in personal messages as I am concerned about this topic and would like to see how other people see it.

This is a life 🤗

money buys you opportunity and freedom - its up to you whether or not you squander it or take advantage of the resources you earn to buy that happiness.

Dont mess it up over thinking it - its nice to be on a boat off the coast of greece.

How about you start asking yourself "will being poor make me sad?" and trust me you will get your answer.

[#10]

You are so right about that. 😀

Don't know man, but you know, it does really make life easier.

Interesting questions,  here is my one cents to this topic...

Money can not buy happiness,  it's not meant to buy happiness. Your definition of hapiness will change over time.  Even today it has different meaning depending on the time and place (country or city) you are in....

- for a new born,  getting food is happiness...

- walking-running for the first time is happiness...

- For a teenager,  freedom and doing something crazy is hapiness...

- Finding love / getting married is hapiness... it also causes stress 🙂 sometimes...

- For a sick person,  getting healthier is hapiness...

MONEY is a very tricky asset,  having less money will cause a lot of STRESS and having a lot of money will also cause you STRESS...find your tipping point and make sure to collect great memories and experiences

[#13]

another thought...

For poor and needy person money can buy hapiness...

For rich,  the same money will buy stress and trobles...(I have heard stories about rich people dying out of drug overdose..in search of temporary hapiness)

[#14]

Very well said!

[#15]

dont talk yourself out of getting rich. trust me your grand kids will love you more when you leave them something behind

[#16]

life is suppossed to be a hard fought victory. the lion doesnt sleep under a shade tree all day - he finds joy out of leading the back and taking down dangerous game too. life is meant to be lived - and earned.

I completely agree with you. Money does buy happiness whether it be buying football game tickets or buy a new car, all of that does give a person dopamine and happiness. 

[#18]

It is interesting that you mention dopamine.... because happiness is nothing more than chemicals in our body, and actually you don't need to go anywhere or buy anything if you learn how your body works and produces them.... as long as you think that happiness comes from something external to you, you will be unhappy.... jumping from one thing to another....

The happiest people are not the ones who have the most.... they are the ones who need the least...

how?

Money can buy almost everything--all except satisfaction.

It can even buy immortality (if you don’t mind being frozen for a few decades). 😁
