Hahahahahaha good ones guys about being rich and depressed than poor and depressed lol @SuzieJ 5555 @040156 yes, keep me coming 55. I feel like money is what buys happiness that most people don’t want to accept but ultimately money is what makes us move forward....

Depend on what your definition of happiness is. Are you happy when bills are paid? Are you happy when you get to buy what you want? Are you happy when you are less stress? It also depends on how much money is enough money. For me it is yes and no. Money can provide comfort which is food, clothes, shelter, vacations.

But I don't need a lot to make me happy. I just need enough to pay my bills and enough in saving to be ok for sometime if I lose my job. As for the no is because I won't sell my soul or dignity for money nor will I sell other people's soul or dignity for money.

I feel like maybe I’m getting more greedy and needy that money does convince me it truly does buy happiness besides love. Love without money doesn’t really work in reality, I think.

Lol, the second comment @KitKat516 555 okay keep ‘em coming guys. Love reading.

i think love can exist without money. It’s harder for it to work in developed countries such as the U.S. and European countries but in poorer countries where poverty is the norm, it’s easier for them to be in relationships together without money

Money is a two-way street. It's important because it's what helps to bring you a lot of the things that could/will help you towards being a happier person. e.g. financial stability. That being said when your world is just about money, then it's very easy to lose sight of your own moral compass.

Y’all are deep. Haha however, I think having money and morals can go hand in hand too. Poor people don’t always have morals, lol

Love and money is a complicated issue. Will I enter a marriage base on love but poor as heck? Hell no. I just think if you can't take care of yourself, you shouldn't add another person to the mix. I'm not asking for a millionaire, I'm just asking for someone who can be financially responsible.

I agree. For some, having no money but being married is fine but I could personally never get married with someone who doesn’t have some type of job. It’s just not ideal for me

Same here @SuzieJ. I can never allow myself to depend on others for my own fanancial stabilities. I've seen too many bad outcomes and vowed never to put myself in that situation.

True @xodxo! Money can work either way, it's up to the individuals circumstances and their moral compass on which side they want to be on. I was told to always look for someone who has potential and is driven because your guaranteed that they'll pull through for you in your highest/lowest times. Don't know how true that statement is.

@x.ATKD.x my mom and dad always tell me that when I choose the person I want to get married to, it’s fine if he doesn’t have all the money in the world. My dad and mom had almost nothing when they first cake to the U.S. but after they got married to each other, they built they lives up together and now they are very financially comfortable. As long as my significant other has a job, Im fine with that

So with everything I said, I also wanted to add that money isn't everything though. It is very important but just not everything, it just gives you a choice in certain things. Like just right now (excited to share!!) I got an offer at my dream hospital.

It doesn't pay as much as where I'm at now BUT the values and skill sets I'll be learning at this facility are worth more than more money. However I am able to do this because I am financially comfortable. All in all it leads right back to money can buy happiness lol.

@KitKat516 CONGRATULATIONS! Love hearing news like this, excited for your new beginning! xx

If you make money the only happiness in your life,I think that’s when you start to get unhappy with yourself and too greedy! And @KitKat516 congrats love! Happy for you :)

Thank you, thank you.
I do wonder about those who said money cant buy happiness.

Woot!!! Congrats @KitKat516 dream jobs are the best!! Haha :) I think for me it’s as equally important to have a good income and career/job as well as a loved one. But ultimately I would like to be spoiled by him. Lol!!! I can’t live with a cheap partner. Lol. I need someone generous and giving. Someone that can bring sunshine to me lol, I think we women deserve to be spoiled and loved so effortlessly. HEhe^^

Poverty is something that no one should romanticize. In reality we need money to survive. On the other hand, having a good family, set of real friends, and someone to spend the rest of our lives with are priceless.
