There is a popular opinion in the locale that "A man who has money doesn't easily get angry or offended, lol". This statement goes the other way as well, that "A man who doesn't have money is easily offended by everything and everyone".

I have put this statement on analysis a lot in mind, trying to watch my mood and correlate my happiness with the amount of money I have each time. Everytime it seems like i have overspent and almost becoming broke, there is a feeling of irritation and sadness that comes with it. Also when i get some credit alerts, there is an associated joy.

I know it is not proper to tie your happiness to finance, but i did some research into the subject and found a study that was conducted with the result that happiness increases with the amount of money one makes up until a point where there is no greater degree of happiness from making money, but unhappiness if ones income drops beneath that range.

What is your opinion on the subject of "money & happiness"?

I quite agree with the existence of money is not everything but everything needs money. Happiness and money are two mutually supportive factors, where happiness without money is hypocrisy, even though there is happiness that money cannot buy. But at least money can complete the existing happiness. Can give, give charity and others

What is clear is that the two between happiness and money are two interrelated things,
and we don't have to deny that everything needs money to survive for sure,
so I don't think we can choose just one because we need both and that's important

Money irrespective of the amount available has only but a quarter to contribute to ones happiness. The universe is faced with lots of challenges and some of which money can't really afford. Would you call a blind man who has excess money a Happy man, or would you call a barren couple who can't conceive happy. Money has it's own limitations and can't be a base for general happiness.

I suddenly remembered a saying i had heard before，“Comparing to those rich people，i think we are happy，because our problems can be solved with money basically, while theirs can't be solved with money ”.

This is an eternal debate that does not have a clear and unique solution for everyone. On the one hand, lack of money usually causes unhappiness, and going from not having much money to improving the economic situation usually brings happiness. On the other hand, the rich also cry. The point is that money usually helps to be happy but it is far from being the only thing to take into account.

Between "Money and Happiness" lies your perspective and attitude in life. yes we all know that money can buy everything but not all happiness depends on money...sometimes you just have to learn to be content. you can have plenty of money yet feel empty inside. Bu money can help you in one way or the other to be happy. when we attached ourselves too much on money and revolved our life into it. it simply mean that we allow it to control our lives but if we control our money we can still be happy.

There are kinds of happiness mate , Happiness that contented in what he is seeing but there is happiness inwhat he feels.

Money can bring for what we see, but our hearts can give in what we feel.

meaning Happiness and money connive in some instance but not in totality.

I'll just generalize and say that money may bring a certain amount of happiness, but that's not because of the money itself. It is because with the money one can do the things that he/she loves. If I can travel, eat my favorite food, stay in a beautiful place, and so on without the need for money, I'd be very happy even if I'm penniless. But that's how we are today. Everything revolves around money.

Anyway, what I also noticed is that those who have the money are still as easily irritable as those who don't have it. To a poor man it could be understandable. But to those who have a lot of money and having a smooth life, a tiny glitch, interruption, inconvenience, and the like are most often enough reasons for them to get irritated. The reasons are different but that's one indication that money won't actually make you genuinely happy.

I think it depends on the people on how they are going to use their money for their own happiness. Some would certainly want money to satisfy their desires (you know how criminals buy drugs and stuff like that) to attain happiness. Some would certainly want peace and a normal life that doesn't require as much money to satisfy their desires.

Money can certainly help with achieving happiness but that doesn't necessarily mean money will guarantee happiness.

Well I agree with this statement because in reality this is true. This might be not applicable for rich people who used to have lots of money but for someone who is poor and struggling to survive, having money in your pocket can change your mood.

Money cant buy happiness? probably the kind of happiness that is priceless like the love from our loved ones. But money can make us happy and that's a fact, you can buy anything and everything that can make you happy.

Anyway it still depends on what kind of person you are since we have our own way of thinking regarding this matter.

Money and happiness both are totally different things. Happiness is a mind state where your everything is going great but in bad situations money can not convert bad situations to good. Sometimes both relate to each other. Money gives you options to make life better in every prospect , but you can't say money is key of happiness. Poor person can be a happy person but rich person can not be in happy mood. Happiness mood means your every work going through your way money can't do this for you.

Security adds to the happiness of a person and one way for a person to be happy is able to provide for his family and it needs money. Whichever line of work you have as long as you can provide and have money to secure tomorrow you are going to be happy.

But if you are unsure of what is to come and might not be able to put food on the table, you are likely going to be irritable. Men do everything for survival, kill and steal had been an option for the crooks.

Money can't buy happiness but it can help you to be happy, better to cry on a roof that doesn't leak and have a car and an insurance and investment rather than smiling through without any way to find food for the next day, being happy without money is just ignoring the problem which is being broke.

Happiness is a choice though, so I would rather cry on a mansion than be happy on a street or muddy and leaking roof that's a lifetime burden if you can't change what you are today. That's why I prefer to make more money than suffer because people who experienced poverty know what it's like to have no money to spend when you have something that you wanted to buy.

And being broke is too challenging because you have to think how or what are you gonna eat in the next day. That's why I said happiness is always a choice, you can be happy without a money/broke or you can be sad with a fancy house.

not because of money, but indeed because of his calm psychological condition. don't put money in his heart but put money in his hands. sometimes it's not because a lot of money makes a man calm and not quick to anger, but how to feel safe, a feeling of calm can beat the feeling of the difficult economic crush. but very few people have that character. usually from religious circles because their belief in the throne and women is only a deposit and does not need to be fought for excessively.

Assuming that you don't have a background depression or something of the sort (so that nothing will make you happy), and aren't going through some serious stuff, like illness, family problems, breakups, money does actually makes things better.

Another important thing is being a well-rounded person, that takes interest in many different things. People often fail to point out this fact. For instance, if all you wish for is money and power - you'll never be happy. You will, but for a very short period of time, and then you'll get used to it pretty quickly and will have no more aims because the initial ones were not thought through and sucked.

On the other hand, money opens possibilities, and that is important for someone who wishes for more than just being rich. If money is just a means of reaching something else you really want (e.g., traveling or getting the desired education and so on) - that can make you happy, and not being able to have those things because of lack of funds can be frustrating.

You cannot buy happiness but you can use money to be at a better type of living which won't put you at distress in life. We've got several descriptions about being happy and relating it to money and it varies.
But for me, I'll be happy if I'm living financially free and that's what I want. I've got more time to myself and family and that's the description for me of happiness. Being able to enjoy life with them and at the same time, I'm already out of the rat race.

It's definitely a good feeling if you are financially stable and enjoying the good company together with your family. But only few people have achieved this goal because the truth is most of us have different issues about money and family.

Happiness does not only come from finances because even poor people who don't have good finances are still feeling happy despite of their status in life. So i must say, happiness is built within. If you can be happy with small things around, then there's no need for you to earn huge amount of money. It's a matter of satisfaction and contentment even in small things.

This is very true. Happiness is a state of mind where it depends largely on the person himself. He may not have the riches, but he is already contented with his life and be happy with whatever he has. But for some, even if they have enough money, they are not happy with it because they want more. But it is always better to be financially stable so you are not always in stress where to get money even for your basic needs. It is hard to be happy if you don't know where to get your next meal for your family.

What is your opinion on the subject of "money & happiness"?

Money can easily be tied to happiness and is only natural since most of the things in this world are driven by money. Heck, even lovelife can be a piece of cake with money. But honestly though, there is no better feeling in the world than being satisfied by with what you have(not in an unproductive way obviously). That freedom from the anxiety of being on top of others or maintaining your spot on the social hierarchy or status. That is why I am so amazed by keanu reeves; by the way he loves his life simply yet full of happiness and satisfaction.

Every individual has a different perspective regarding money and happiness. For me, it is not mandatory that if I have money I will be happy but no doubt they are related somehow. I feel I am more comfortable having money as this is important to live a healthy life and health is one of my priorities. Indirectly it is also making me happy because I love to eat good food which also keeps me healthy. So, you see all these are interlinked in this current world.

What is your opinion on the subject of "money & happiness"?

I agree with you. Nowadays, you can almost have no means of survival without money, due to this, some resort to criminal activities, even those who are supposed to be really good people gets left with no choice but to resort to such things. But even with these facts, I still believe that theost valuable things in life van never be bought. Also, I kind of disagree with that popular opinion of yours since I have witnessed for myself a bunch of rich people being easily angered and offended because they know they can get away with almost anything and so even with the slightest mistakes, they tend to take it very seriously not because of the offenses but because they want to show off their capabilities. At the end, it all just comes down to how your parents or guardians have raised you. Money can't buy everything and genuine happiness are often seen on poor people.

What is your opinion on the subject of "money & happiness"?

This is 100% true. When I have close to zero money and having hard time surviving life, there is really less stress in my life, because I have a certain goal and that goal is to survive, as long as I can survive then there is nothing wrong in my life and I am happy with whatever I am doing.

However the moment I have a bit of excess money, I try to do something with that money to make it even more and that creates a huge problem for me. Just this past year thanks to crypto going up I ended up with a good amount of money for me, it is nothing compared to many people but for me it was a good amount, and it was one of the hardest and most difficult periods of my life. Thankfully .... I lost it with this drop and now I do not worry about anything, am I capable of living until my next paycheck? Yes, then that is more than enough for me and I am happier.
