Question

Does money really holds the key to happiness?

Answer 1

People say it doesn't but if I could get my hands on a lot of money I know I would feel over the moon! We all need some to survive and if we don't have enough we are going to struggle and that makes us unhappy.

Having said that money alone cannot make us happy, we need someone to share it with. What would be the point in being able to have every thing money could buy only to be the loneliest person on the earth? I can't deny I would like a lot of money but only if I had a special person or people to enjoy it with.

Our problems differs, money is a major problem most people face, but what I noticed is that when people satisfy a particular need, they seems to move on to another problem, so those that have money does not mean they don't have other problems weighing them down.

Well said. Money is also important to lead a happy life. Thanks for your answer. 

Answer 2

Somehow it does. Money can buy everything but cannot buy happiness. You might be a billionaire but your life very miserable. Happiness can be brought If you have that one special person who gives makes you happy. You can have enough money that you can hire comedians to come and entertain you but in the long run your internal happiness matters.

Comments

It is better to have less money and be happy than to have more money and be sad, happiness is disassociated from money. The best form of happiness that can come from having money is to use it for the help of others. In other words let the wealth affect the world positively. 

Answer 3

Money is a key to happiness. People work so hard to earn enough for themselves and for their family. Those who cannot make ends meet definitely endure a lot of struggles, which I think make them extremely unhappy. 

No matter how much other people deny it, money will certainly be a huge factor in people's happiness. Take for instance those who can travel to certain places, those who can afford to take a vacation somewhere far, those who can give what their child wants, those who can plan their future, those who are privileged. These people have less to worry and are therefore far happier than others.

But as I said, money is a huge factor but this is not the ultimate determinant of a person's happiness. A person can only find true happiness or happiness that lasts once he/she learns what his/her purpose in life is. I know a lot of us struggle with this, but ones we find it, be it being a loving wife to your family, a good public servant, a community doctor, then you will realize that things beyond what money can buy are the source of unfleeting happiness.

I understand your point your view, but if you ask the very rich in the society, they will tell you the opposite. It is good to have money, but that does not solve the entire problems we have, remember the popular saying more money more problem.

Answer 4

There is no definitive answer to this question. Some people do find money does hold the key to their happiness, while others do not. Some people believe that money does hold the key to their happiness because it is a source of large payouts and it is difficult to be without it. Other people believe that money does not hold the key to their happiness because it is a source of large payouts and it is difficult to affordable.

Answer 5

We can't say no..!!

Money plays vital role nowadays. We need money for everything. So money is important but that alone is not enough for happy lead. It is one of the part to lead a happy life. 

Answer 6

Money is a medium of exchange that holds so much importance in today's world. Without money, life becomes unbearable because you cannot get what you need. It's not a key to   happiness always but it helps us live comfortably for instance,  when you have money you can purchase what you need. But it cannot replace happiness as there are billionaires who have lots of money but are sorrowful. 

Answer 7

Actually, yes on one side it holds all the hapiness of the world. As if u hav money then u can buy anything and everything in this whole universe. Somewhere wen u cannot afford to buy a thing then u feel sad and u start feeling that if i would hav had more money i would hav bought that. So in some of the matters yes it holds the happiness.  But as the coin has 2faces. In the same manner it can even lead to sadness too.  

Answer 8

I have never came across someone broke who was happy. We all need money to be happy. Money brings in good food, great shelter, fun activities, trips, vacations and overall happiness. That's why we wrk so hard to make money, that's our form of happiness.

Answer 9

Money is only part of one's happiness. For sure money cannot buy happiness or make one happy in one's life. You can see very rich people and their families but you cannot see how each in their family treats each other. There are incidents in that they have different issues and at times money is involved due to their inheritance later. The money they say sometimes the root of evil. If you have the money you have the power to do things that are not right and only will lead to misunderstandings between family, friends, and colleagues.

Answer 10

I would say yes . While people always jump to the conclusion that "love" is what gives humans happiness, its not entirely true . for example , will you have peace of mind until you pay off all the expenses for the month ? yes you need money .  Will you be satisfied until you get your favorite food or drink ? yes you need money for that too . So in conclusion , no money can't buy you happiness but it can buy you the things that may or may not make you happy . 

Answer 11

In a way yes , because if you have enough money you can live in a comfortable way, in a good house, and you can buy all the things you need and also you offer a comfortable life for your family.

At least you will not be homeless and you can go to hospital if you are sick and you can buy medicine and so on.

From the other side it does not make happiness all the time , for example if someone is diagnosed with cancer  money can't save life.

With money you can buy medicine but not health, in this part you loose happiness.

Answer 12

As for me, not everything can be bought by money even happiness and love but it can sustain our needs in our daily life. The true happiness is found in God and everything will follow if we are with him.

Answer 13

Money to me works as an agent to happiness, some people might have just a little and they will happy, some use their money to bring happiness.

Answer 14

In this case, I'll stick with the Beatle's song "Money can't buy me love". Most people loves money because it's the asset to buy something we want to have. Money also has been chased because it symbolizes wealth and pride. There are still some aspects that can't be bought by money like these examples

1. Love

2. Respect

3. Faith

4. Mindset

And many more

Answer 15

Well in some situation yes and some no reason been that I have seen so many people who become unhappy and sad when they don't have money but one truth is that we can't find real happiness in money.

Answer 16

Money can contribute to happiness, but it does not necessarily guarantee it. Research has shown that money can improve happiness up to a certain point, but beyond that, its impact on happiness is relatively small. Once our basic needs are met, such as having adequate food, shelter, and access to healthcare, additional income does not necessarily lead to more happiness.

Instead, factors such as relationships, meaningful work, a sense of purpose, and good health have been found to be more strongly associated with happiness than material possessions. Happiness is a subjective experience that is influenced by many factors, including genetics, personality, and life circumstances.

In summary, while money can be important for meeting our basic needs and achieving certain goals, it is not the sole determinant of happiness. Happiness is a complex and multifaceted experience that involves many different aspects of our lives.

Answer 17

Money can provide basic needs and some level of comfort, but it alone cannot guarantee happiness. Happiness is a complex emotion influenced by various factors such as relationships, purpose, and personal fulfillment.

Answer 18

There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that money holds the key to happiness. There are many factors that can affect happiness, including intake of other items, amounts earned, and efforts made within the budget.

Answer 19

It's depends on people for a poor person who works hard everyday but still can't fill his family stomach I think in his prospective money can buy happiness,  in second scenario if a person is sick and his family need money for his or her treatment isn't money can buy their happiness now let's imagine we have a dream but for that we need to get into a university or get a training but we need get this what do you think so I think money can buy happiness or not it depends in which scenario we are saying it sometimes it can buy sometimes it can't.
