    yes. if i had the money i need right now my happiness would quadruple. money is what's holding me back from so much right now and it's slowly ruining my life.
    maybe it depends what's needed bc it obv can't bring back dead people and stuff like that but for the most part i think it does.

    It's partially true or mostly, but not always. Money is a tool.

    The one thing that money can't afford is Love.

    It does up to $80,000 / year according to a Ted Talk I watched or something. Takes a lot of stress out of day to day living. Seems reasonable.

    Money makes everything better.
    To say otherwise is stupid tbh.

    Money equates to happiness but it doesn't eliminate sadness. Sadness is something internal. You can be broke as all f--- but still be happy with what you have. Money would settle your 1st-4th chakras for sure, making your situation better no matter what, but it can also invite negativity into your life as well if you let it such as negative people who are around for your money. People can act very differently around you once you get it as well. Basically If you get a million dollars nothing guarantees you're happier in life because of it, only thing that makes a difference is the way you handle your money and what you make of it.

    So imo no money doesnt = happiness because it's just not a mathematical situation. Plenty of people have had their lives ruined because of money because theyre stupid as f---.

    Not really. I know miserable rich people and really happy less privileged people. As long as you have enough money to not have to strees about money, other things are more important for finding happiness imo.

    Having money doesn't mean you're happy obviously but it sure can help -no money problems, do/buy nice things- etc

    Money would make me happy yes cause it would make it easier to live by witch i mean i could fully afford all bills my moms surgery a new vehicle and all that no problem also when it comes to having fun i already do that but i guess i could buy cool stuff to show off and play around with, like a new bike or expensive illegal fireworks which i already do but i could get more or whatever u get the point it just makes it easier.

    It's doesn't. The best years of my life were when I was in my early 20s partying and hooking up with girls all the time with no responsibilities and I was only making $25K/year at the time. Money makes life easier but doesn't make you happy.

    I think a healthy amount of money can. Enough to live comfortably. If you have a fuckload I can imagine you start to wonder who your real friends are etc. That's where I could imagine it not leading to happiness.

    This past year I made the most money i ever did in my career thus far. I went on a Louis Vuitton shopping spree in Dubai just because I wanted to.

    I wouldn't say it made me more happier, but it did prevent a lot of stressful situations I could of been in such as moving my wife from Japan with no support from the government and moving us to California, and i'm thankful for that.

    To me, appreciation and humility is better than happiness.
