    Money can't buy happiness. Agree?

    It is definitely better to cry in a BMW 7 series than to walk on the streets as there's no place to go.

    You can have all the money your heart desires, but without peace of mind you have nothing.

      With all due respect, don't you think money is necessary to buy a person some peace? Every person wants the basic necessities of life to be fulfilled, without which , there is no peace.

      Money can definitely bring you stability, but it cannot alone bring happiness or peace of mind. For example... A billionaire has clinical depression. Money cannot buy a cure.

      Yes, i agree. I feel that the human nature is such that we are never satisfied with what we get. The poor prefers money over peace, while the rich complain about having all the wealth in their hands, but no peace.

    Money can make you happy so as things that are considered priceless like friendship and true love. The difference is the quality and length of happiness you experience from each of them. Happiness from money tend to be temporary and soulless.  On the other hand, happiness one can gain from true friends, true love, and family is an experience that will be carved in your heart and remembered for a lifetime. I hope you find or is enjoying such kind of happiness as of the moment. God bless!

      I really appreciate your answer as it is applicable to the common man. Having enough money to make a living while having friends and family by your side is just what one could pray for.

    In the immortal words of "Weird Al" Yankovic, "If money can't buy happiness... I guess I'll have to rent it."

      It's funny how a guy who mocks other singers can say something that actually makes some  sense :p

    I know this is not a popular notion but in a sense money can buy happiness for some.  For me, money can buy good health care insurance, and the peace of mind to know that my bills, my housing, and my family will be taken care of.

    Money can also provide a lot of therapy, anti-depressants and any other medications needed for health issues.

    So while it doesn't exactly buy happiness, it would provide a certain sense of security which is huge in today's world.

      Your answer is exactly what i was trying to explain to one of the users who have commented above. In short, you mean that one needs money to fulfill the basic necessities of life, which i absolutely agree with. Thanks for your answer smile

    Money cannot buy happiness.... but it sure does make it ALOT easier to achieve. 

    Having too many choices is a lot better than having no good choices at all.

    If aim of our life is to stay happy and let others to be happy, we will be remembered by all . But no one will actually remember us for the wealth we have gained, or success we have achieved. We know life cannot be predicted but we should not stop trying and at the same time, we should not forget our aim no matter how difficult it is.
