Money is something that is essential in modern society It brings security, as well as some happiness because of what you can buy with it. I like to get money. I'll save some of it, spend some of it on necessities, but put some aside for buying things that I want for my own enjoyment.

Money'll never brings one happiness, but it may amuses one so much that it'll hardly notice its empty life. I'd never allow it to set me apart from people and things I like. Well, surely I know how important is to have enough, I'm not a hippie, either!

Creation's colors seem to fade to grey
And you'll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme

Pay for my wife's labor on the 11/15/10. And sometime money does give happiness. If you're willing to want to buy the things you enjoy the most. It also pays for our foods.

I think most people are misrepresenting happiness here. Happiness comes from what you buy with your money, not the actual money itself. For instance, it goes like "Man im happy I got that X-box" not "Man, im happy I have money to buy that thing I wanted.

If I had a lot of money, I would probably spend about 1/10th of it on myself and the other 9/10ths on charity and such.

This is something I would get if I had the money to spare. No way I could afford it now, though. ;_;

If some people are, as they've said they are, happy for having money with which they can potentially purchase things, and that makes them happy rather than the end result, ie. what they buy, then so be it I say. I think what makes an individual happy is down to that individual's own perception, so that there's no 'misrepresenting' it.

I see money as a distance between its own extent and having to barter my physical possessions away. Said possessions are more enjoyable, but the peace of mind in knowing one won't have to lose any of them seems like a fine reason for contention anyway.

Um, okay... But in other news, even if you have no money, you can still live by the generosity of others and (dear heavens what is this) hard work. So, even in places where humans have taken over the world, you can live without money.

But chances are that if you have no money, you can do something to remedy that.

Money for me is... my name! Lulz, only people who know my second name will get that..

Anyways! I think money can buy you happiness.. like food, shelter, clothes and jewelery. Video games, gadgets and laptops. Pets and other things. But it doesn't always. You could buy something you thought would of been super awesome, but instead it ended up a waste of money. :(

For me, money can only buy you things you want that make you happy. Such as the latest iPhone 4 or that new Xbox you've been dying for as an example. Money itself though can't really make a person happy because it's just paper that comes and goes when you earn it, and spend it. I've gone through my whole life with money in hand, spending it very little, and I've still found more happiness in the people I've met, experiences I've done, and so fourth than the actual amount of money I've had.

When you die, you don't take anything with you. So money is just a tool to get us through life as it's an essential need for the things we need or desire. Other than that, happiness comes from elsewhere in my opinion.

Money brings happiness, but not joy. The way I see it, someone with a lot of money can be miserable or happy depending on how they spend it. There's no such thing as eternal happiness. If you're happy you just got that new iPod or a new phone, it won't be long before you're bored with it and want something else. Humans crave new things too often to be happy all the time.

Money is like a ray gun. You have to charge your lazer to kill the obstacles (buy good stuff). And because I'm a guy that likes explosions, I charge that ray gun pretty damn good before doing anything.

Right, I prefer to have my happiness from a big spend like a new guitar or a practice drum set rather than small revenues on school candy and then suddenly realize I'm $20 short.

Money gives one kind of happiness. It's not the love/friend kind of happiness, but it IS an essential happiness. A sense of commodity, freedom, and power over your life can be felt when those moments you are so free to spend.

Except we guys can control it. Girls are addicted to that kind of happiness like cocaine >__>

It doesn't really buy me happiness, because I have like nearly $2000 in the bank and I don't feel like spending it. All I want to get out of it is B/W, lol.

However, actual coins and cash makes me happy because they make large numbers, not because they can buy things for me. XD;

Money buys me games so that keeps me happy. Until I need to get outside. Then I use money to buy food and entertainment and travel. Then we use money to buy useless crap.

Happiness isn't dependent on money, but a quick boost of happy can be bought easily.

Money is something you need in society today if you want to make it through. Not saying it brings happiness, but what it's come down to is that it brings life, in a sense. Without money, it's hard to live because you can't afford clothes, food, medical help, or shelter. So in some retrospect, money has become life itself.

For me, money isn't happiness. My family is. But here's the deal: Money kinda is happiness....here's why:

Money buys trips...to travel. No money, no seeing the world.

Money buys healthcare (in the United States that is)...and health is happiness. If you get a disease, you better be able to pay for it. Or lose your house to pay for it. For that reason I am glad to be Canadian.

Money buys education (unless you're in Europe or something). No money, can't really go to school. Yes, you can take out loans, but then you better be able to pay for it later.

Money buys time. Why? Because it allows you to just go on vacations and enjoy your family instead of working three jobs and trying to see your kids.

For those reasons, I want money. Do I feel bad for that? No way! I am working really hard in university to have a high paying job so that I can see the world and have a great life.
