Yeah, no matter what you'll be happier with money.
It's not everything but no matter if you're a depressed person or someone who's pretty satisfied with life you'll be happier with money. If you're depressed it won't make you too much happier but you'll be happier than if you were depressed and poor.

I don't see how anyone can deny money can bring happiness. It won't make you happy but it can help you get there.
All the kids starving in Africa, idgaf how happy they are to have a meal every other month, would be happier if they were rich. If they had the community and zebras and all that shit they love along side money they would be happier.
Same with anything really. Getting your dick sucked won't make you happy but you'll be a hell of a lot happier than if you were jerking your shit raw and it's going to bring you a lot closer to happiness.
I don't see how you can argue against that.
I actually did see that when you first posted it and...I'll get back to you when I have an argument.
Interesting story, but you can't deny that the guy was being an absolute dumb fuck with his money.
Its clear from ths responses in this thread that everyone has their own idea of happiness. Money does not buy happiness because happiness is a choice. If you buy something that makes you happy it may appear that money is buying your happiness, but it is still your mental decision to associate happiness with whatever it is you just bought.
Respond if you want but this isn't going anywhere as long as you don't realize that not everyone in the world hold uber materialistic values, those starving kids in Africa prolly just wish for rain and a bounty full harvest, while they might enjoy a PS3 with MW2 and an Ethernet connection did you ever stop to think that maybe they get just as much if not more pleasure from just kicking a ball made of plastic bags around a dusty field with there friends??
And this isn't just "Starving Africans" i'm talking about a lot of people even here in the USA are content with just living and don't need or want a boat ton of money.

its also really situational.
like, a monk who has no worldly possessions can live a life filled with happiness.
but then lets say his mother gets sick needs an expensive operation. the monk can't pay for it, and she dies.
having money in that situation would have lead to his happiness. or at a minimum, having money would have avoided sadness.
its like the kids in africa. you dont know what does or doesnt make them happy.
its all about the state of mind youre in.
better to be depressed in a nice car, than depressed taking public transport

Money does not bring happiness. Recently won $26, 000 playing poker (hit a badbeat jackpot) and doesn't really change the way I feel about things at all. Same shit for me but just a heads up for future savings.
My co-worker said to me the day after I won, "You look pretty depressed for a guy that just won $26, 000."
i agree with virunga. i lived in a third world country alot of my life. life was simple i was happy, less stress. but moving to america added on so much stress so much emphasis put on how big your house is, what kind of car u drive, what ure wearing. its easier to find happiness in urself rather than the things money can buy. but yea.. temporary happiness can be bought but money will never make u content
quick question: can money bring you happiness when your sadness is unrelated to money? Death of a family member? Divorce? Parenting difficulties?
Can money bring you happiness when it really counts?

Meh, the guy didn't really think this quote through. You love what you want too.
he is asking people to be contended with what you have .
Right. So don't you "have" things that you keep buying? The guy just left his quote with a big loophole. That's all.
