right. how about u tell us again why money doesn't buy happiness.

list 5 reasons why money cant buy/bring happiness.

1. No matter how much money you make you can still go broke
2. No matter how much money you have, you can still be lonely
3. Money can't fix life's problems (if you have a drinking problem now, making more money won't fix it)
4. Some rich people are miserable
5. Some poor people are happy

Didn't read through the thread...


but some of the most depressed people I know are upper-middle class - rich

1. No matter how much money you make you can still go broke
2. No matter how much money you have, you can still be lonely
3. Money can't fix life's problems (if you have a drinking problem now, making more money won't fix it)
4. Some rich people are miserable
5. Some poor people are happy

1. You're an idiot. People go broke by doing dumb sh1t. If you got rich by working your ass off, ur chances of losing it are slim. if you got rich through lottery or some inheritance, yes, u will go broke unless u got people like me around u.
2. If you're that miserable that you feel lonely, money can bring you "fake" friends. who wants "fake" friends? imagine being poor and lonely. yup. poor and lonely. or rich and lonely. not a difficult decision unless you're a moron.
3. lol. are u serious? drinking problems? really? is this the best you can come up with? i'm not even gonna use this. lets pick something more serious. i'll give u another shot at this lame attempt.
4. sure. there are plenty more people who are miserable and poor.
5. some poor people are happy? sure, until a hurricane slaps em with reality. so an hurricane is an extreme example? ok. even though its not, i'll give u that for argument's sake. how about a job loss? do i need to list the possible things that could happen to you which will require a substantial reserve of money?

being poor, u go through life hoping for the best. and if the worst happens to you, u are fuccked.

the list u gave was too weak. try again. i'm giving u another shot. that was painful to read.

ok I'm done I've provided plenty of examples and scientific proof. And all you keep saying is "you're dumb"

Go ahead and live your life thinking money is the most important thing. I can guarantee if you ever make some money you will be one of the rich and miserable mufukkas.

bullshyt statement if thats the case then what does not having money make you ?

 

[pimpineasy]

The problem is that mo money comes with a lot of baggage n responsibilities. Worse yet u may instead develop a phobia of losing said money. My dad once told me the happiest days of ur life will occur when ur young n broke n he was right.

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

Y u hatin on ppl who won't be able to get rich though? U do realize that's 5% of the economy pretty much. The rest are pay check to pay check. If ppl want to be happy with what they have. Y u so mad for? Just shows that money makes u more angry and condescending. I hope u marry a young wife who drains ur bank account cuz the young broad made u happy. Then u will be depressed cuz everything that mattered is gone.

"The more money you make, the more problems you get, it's just jealousy and envy" - Biggie


I think Biggie was right 100%, if you actually listen to the song they are actually talking about the positives of having money but the deeper message is that even though they are positives, don't ever think that once you get it your problems now end. What I notice most is that people who aren't "Rich" per say seem to think Money will solve all their problems. Now they won't have to worry about bills or financial stresses. But from listening to a lot of "Rich" people I've learned that wealth is more of a state of mind than people think. For example. Someone making 75k is not considered "Rich" but if they lived their lifestyle a certain way they actually would be. Me personally I don't think you have to be a millionaire to be "Rich".

But the thing I think Big was saying is that. Just cause you are making more money doesn't mean you won't have problems. It's like Broke problems now becomes rich problems. For example, let's say you are an athlete and you make a huge contract. Now all your family and friends feel entitled to your wealth. That's why ESPN special "Go for broke" was really good. It showed that once people got the wealth their family and friends (who aren't wealthy) brought there wealth down. Look at MC Hammer. The man is a Legend who took his wealth and actually tried to Help his community. What ended up happening is those same "Un-wealthy" people drained his resources. Now some could argue hammer and those athletes were not smart with their money. But I'd argue is their money brought them new problems.

I think Happiness is not determine by wealth but by mind state. Like people say, money only magnifies your personality. If you had drug or alcohol problem before the money, it may intensify. Sure being wealthy takes away broke problems but if you aren't were you want to be in life. If you have a bunch of fake friends and girls f*ckin you for you money. Is that really where you want to be? I say find what makes you happy 1st. Let's say you want to be a filmmaker or musician. Then go for that goal cause if you aren't making the money you want, at least you are happy doing what you want. Also it's very elitist for some of you to say, "Those saying money wont' make happiness will just stay broke". 1st again "Rich" can be subjective. Like I said, someone making 75-100k can be rich in this country if they live a certain way. Also only 2% make up people with 500k or more in their bank accounts. The Majority of our society makes less than that. In closing I agree with Biggie but instead of more money, more problems. I'd say, more money, new problems.

i see what ur saying here though. but the thing is, say u were to get rich today. before today, there were a select number of family members and friends who called u regularly and sought to hang out with u. people who cared for u. this isn't a high number. its only a select people.

when u get rich, it is those people u should choose to help out. when other people start coming out the woodwork, u gon have to lay it down for them. u cant charity ur ass into the poor house. there'll come a time when people will have to kick rocks. especially if said people are like the idiots in this thread arguing against why money isn't this or that. i'd slam the door in their faces with the quickness.

I feel you but you have to understand that family and friends will come out the woodwork. Let's say I won the Powerball and my family and friends knew it. They will say, "You won the lottery anyway". Again sadly family and friends do get entitled when one of their own makes it. This is why a lot of rich people end up broke. They do so much to help family and the family ends up dragging them down. I agree that Hammer and others should of learned to say no but it's not that easy. That's one of the new problems with wealth. Again just cause YOU are wealthy doesn't mean everyone in your family and circle is. I agree with your point though. You know your circle that you can trust, you know who your real friends are. But sadly once money is involved, even your real friends can change. Money changes people state of mind. This is why Lottery winners have so many problems. People kill for money, people lie for money. Even your own friends and family can turn against you cause of Money.

 

[Ain't That Something]

Saying you broke and happy is like saying you fat and happy. Deep down you know it's a lie.

 

[bangedher_wholesquad]

not true. if u ever been to a poorer country, u'll see they are having the time of their lives. when u don't rely on money to make u happy, u end up being happy.

its just here in North America, Money is placed on such a high pedastal because of the illusion its so easily accessible.
