People who say $ don't make you happy never had any real.

So if your filthy rich yet have a terminal illness an your wife left you and took half of your ten mill as your two kids

Your gonna be happy still?

Everyone is different some people are happy living on some little hut by the river and Catxhing fish and living off the land

You can't measure everyone's happiness the same

suicide and depression are mental illnesses. Money is a cure for suicide the same way money is a cure for mental retardation. Whether you're rich or poor, if you're mentally ill you'll still be fukked in the head.

So rich people are more prone to mental illness?

Risk of suicide in relation to income level in people admitted to hospital with mental illness: nested case-control studyCommentary: Suicide and income

the suicide risk for patients admitted to hospital with a mental illness fell significantly with decreasing income (P=0.0001). The table shows that, in comparison with the group with the highest income, the suicide risks for people recently discharged from hospital fell from 0.50 (95% confidence interval 0.25 to 0.97) in the second highest group, to 0.37 (0.18 to 0.77) in the third group, and 0.35 (0.17 to 0.69) in the lowest group.

Privileged kids can be at greater risk for depression, substance abuse and suicidal behavior than disadvantaged children who live in an inner city.

nikka, I was on my 3rd passport by 15. I went to Jamaica 3 times a year to visit family. I was just down thee visiting my brother a few years ago. I damn near grew up there and I still got people there. You went on a fukking cruise and went to the beach. I'm not even having this conversation with you.

That's like someone from Haiti visiting Hollywood and talking about " man all Americans drive Lamborghini's"

I didn't say all Jamaicans were happy I said during my trip, spending time with people from both ends of the spectrum the poor people were happier. That doesn't mean all Jamaicans are poor and happy, nor does it mean that all rich people are unhappy, it just means money alone does not buy happiness.

nikka. You went to Jamaica on a damn cruise. How much time did you actually spend on the island. I swear some of y'all nikkas are straight retarded.

It doesn't matter how much time I spent. The fact that there are poor happy people, and sad rich people disproves the notion that money alone buys happiness.

There is a dude somewhere right now living in the bushes who is happier than all of us. He needs no money to be happy

you determined they were happy because you met some people who you know nothing about at the beach.

You think they are unhappy cause you posted a picture of a rundown street corner.

To be fair I dont think anybody here is saying that.... what people are saying is money in itself will not make you happy

To a lot of people money will make them happy, everyone can understand that...but the minute you start telling people that there are plenty of unhappy rich people they seem to find the premise unbelievable

first of all, they are saying that. second of all, even if they're not, the mere thought of such idiocy deserves a punishing reprehension. only a dense idiot would believe that.

yeah its nice to have money to buy the finer things in life. but where money really comes to play is in situations like that of hurricanes where people without money are thrown into utter discomfort and loss!

when n1ggas up here in nj/ny lost power, folks couldn't get gas. n1ggas was standing up in the cold with kegs, looking for gas. it was all a sad and pathetic site. why were these people putting themselves through discomfort? cause they needed the gas to go to work!!!!! they needed it for their generators. without the gas, many would have to sleep in a cold house.

what about the n1ggas who didn't have generators? the ones that lived in apartments? well, they couldn't get generatorss. i guess they could, but most of them didn't have it. so they had no choice but to sit in the cold waiting on "fate" to save them. waiting on the electric company to get their sh1t together.

anyone who tries to lessen the importance of money is an idiot, point blank.

if u have money and some lame ass hurricane wants to act up, u can get ur ass up and go somewhere. rent a fuccking hotel for a month or whatever till sh1t calms down. or you can go to another one of ur houses.

if u had money and some of ur family members get affected by a natural disaster, how good would it feel to be able to house them? provide for them? feed them? them and their closest friends??

i swear, some people are just cursed to be blinded to the grace that can deliver them from their wretchedness.

how about if that happens annnnnd you're not rich?? what then? misery x infinity!

if ur poor and ur terminally ill, having money can make ur last days a heck of a lot easier. u'll get the best medical care available. without money, ur family will hurt along with u as u deteriorate into a desolation void of the breath of god

Firstly in all fairness a hurricane is an extreme example and is not representative of everyday life...

but for arguments sake I will use your example of a hurricane... If I lost my mother and father in a hurricane, no amount of money would make me happy...

would it help me get back on my feet? yes.... but it wouldnt make me happy

So basically it depends on your situation. if you suffer from a mental illness or drug addiction having more money will not help, but if you are a regular "lower to middle Class" person with no real mental ilnesses or major drama in your life, having more money will make you happier. I think good way to some this thread up is the old saying " its better to have and not need than to need and not have" I'd rather be mad because I just missed the waiting list for that new bently truck than be mad that if I dont work atleast 80 hrs a week I cant pay the car note for my 04 honda

 

[Nemesis]

The bottom line is this....

For me to believe every rich person is happy I would have to believe every poor person is unhappy....both cases are untrue in my opinion

What your speaking of is having enough money to take care of yourself, which is very important, but beyond that more money does not equal more happiness.

Its one thing to say it wont make YOU happy, but to say it wont make anybody happy is when I have a problem.

 

[TRUEST]

The problem with these discussions is that people let the extreme conditions cloud their opinions. Ignore the people who are so poor they're starving and without shelter....of course money will make them happier (even if you argue it's the food and heat that's actually making them happier, you're just arguing semantics). Also, ignore the insanely rich who have no concept of the importance of money...it would be like arguing if running water makes us happy. Sure, losing it would make me unhappy, but I can't say it makes me happy...its the base level to my idea of life. Ditto someone born insanely rich.

Everyone here falls in the middle, so the question becomes: if you had more money would you be more happy and on the flip side if you had less money would you be less happy. Again, don't cloud the question with extremes so don't focus on how your happiness would be affected by becoming a billionaire (or destitute) tomorrow.

Consider this hypothetical: if you got a $10k raise for doing the same job you have now would you be happier? I'd argue that most people would, initially, but then their lifestyles would adjust and their happiness would normalize.

Same thing if you had to take a $10k pay cut. Initially you'd be bummed out, but as time passed you'd adjust and your happiness would normalize.

what??? no you wouldn't. if any sane guy who had real responsibilities took 10K paycut, he'll start looking for another job almost immediately. why are u people so delusional?
