no way.. my parents have many friends who are highly rich and affluent.. in my experience the more money and power someone has the more miserable they are.. the more manipulative and controlling.. usually their kids hate their guts..
if you are not happy without riches.. you will never be with it..
unless you're so poor you are starving then its true..
if you're not enough without it.. you won't be with it..

everyone has said it all. Money cannot buy happiness but it can encourage you to become happier faster
Money from hard work makes us feel achieved especially if we are always striving for excellence.

working from home has it's disadvantage also ! you me be more lazy, even less motivated and " less happy "because of physically contact with different people decrease ! for that reason most of the training calls, are inspirations calls to motivate you! to take into consideration the addiction to stay in conjunction with your PC! so we have to know know how to manage our time , to know when to sit and start to work, at the same time to know when to finish! think about it!

I recognize this contest is closed, however, I feel obligated to post my life's experience and knowledge.
1. Wealth can never buy Happiness. If this was true all those rich people who are on drugs, and commit suicide would not exist.
2. Without health, wealth is meaningless.
Which brings us to Happiness!
I am 62, not in the best of health. I searched for happiness for years, but could never find it. I've made my share of money at one time was a six figure income for years. (Yes, it made life easier without bills, however, what I made, I spent on a variety of "stuff".) I own two homes outright, so it is a good feeling not having a mortgage, and have a steady retirement government income. With all this, there is only one way to receive happiness!
You must give it freely! Giving others happiness, comes back in a self-satisfaction rewarding way.
I am a professional magician who entertains children, and makes money. It's not the money, it's the fun, the laughter, the joy I see on the children's faces. It makes it worth the effort.
You want happiness, stop searching for it. Find a way to give it to others and happiness will come back to you.
Happiness can only come to you when you give it to others!

Very true Dennis!
True happiness is found only inside. If you keep searching for happiness in material things, you'll never find it. They'll only give you pleasure, which is short lived.
In spiritual sense, bliss is nothing but a sensation that we feel inside. To experience it we have dig inside and not outside.
Here's a simple exercise to deepen our happiness. Whenever you find satisfaction or happiness through something, just remove your attention from the trigger (outside) and try to feel the source of sensation inside. You may not find it initially, but through practice, you'll catch it. Once you master it, you'll more and more happy and your happiness will not depend on external things.

Hi Dennis,
Few things in life make me feel as good as when I give to a person or any type of worthy charity. Personally, I like to give to animal and environmental charities.

Even if the contest's already closed, I want to express what I feel about it!
Here it goes:
If someone gives me a million dollar, I probably be very happy..
But money can buy happiness for only a day or two!..
The best happiness for me is the love of the people that I care so much!

Money can buy you many things,though I believe there is not a greater satisfaction than doing something that you honestly enjoy doing. What happiness does one get by plagiarizing an article for example. There have been numerous posts on this forum where the happiness was evident over a few pennies they had made. Just the knowing that their work had paid off was more than sufficient.

If you are in debt, I think money can buy you some happiness. Once you're out of debt, I don't think you actually need much to live. Whatever got you into debt was probably a symptom of material indulgence, an expensive education, or an unexpected accident/medical problem. Once you're out of it, it's easy to limit your spending and change your lifestyle (especially if you don't have kids).
My debt makes me crazy and keeps me up at night. I like to think of myself as someone who is not materialistic, but I do think money to pay off my debt would bring me happiness. I think what I would be able to do with the energy freed up by not worrying about my debt would make me even happier.
