Can money really buy happiness?

[Jenou]

I say yes. While some say that maslow's heirarchy of needs is all one truly requires to be happy, I say get real. We're humans; we're naturally materialistic and gluttinous.

Food, water, and shelter might keep me alive, but its money and material things that bring me other happiness as well.

But really, this whole argument is opinionated, so I'm asking you for your opinion: do you think money can buy happiness.

note I never mentioned TRUE happiness.

[dalmo]

No. True love cannot be found based on a money relationship. Being pennyless and with the one you love is true wealth. More than a person with a million dollars will ever had.

Jesus, not another fantasy-driven person. Get real, man. Money CAN buy happiness.

[X8X]

To a certain extend it can IMO. But you'll probably get all those fake friends and stuff you aren't waiting for.

But being richer than God with the one you love is even better.

Well if I had the money to buy anything i wanted I know that my life would definatley be a whole lot less stressful and probably a whole lot more fun which would, in turn, make me more happy.

Im not saying it can't. But one person with no money but a true loving spouse. Can be just as happy with someone with tons of money. I didn't think so until I lost someone I truly love. I would give all the riches in the world to hold her in my arms again.

It's not fantasy, it's called Idealism, Romanticism, or just plain optimistic.

Money can buy objects and services that bring temporary happiness, but in the long run wealth can never buy intrinsic satisfaction and psychological validation. It can be a means by which to achieve it, by accommodating oneself to have the freedom to seek out happiness, but overall it's up to the individual mind to find it ineradicably.

[Toastman7007]

If money can't buy happiness, you can just rent it.

I had serious hopes that this conversation, which began with a smidgen of intelligence, wouldn't degrade so quickly to this level of embarrassing idiocy.

Jenou, do not sink to a level that is beneath you. Please, remain the civil person I'm sure you are capable of being.

AwesomeRific , there are people here with an IQ greater than 65 attempting to have a serious discussion. Why don't you go play in the corner with some legos or amuse yourself by staring at this while giggling and clapping your hands.

No. You're smelling shit. They're not alternate accounts.

[Snayke]

I would say it varies from person to person. Some people (like me) don't really have a NEED to love someone. Sure, it'd be nice but it's not a necessity. I'd rather have money to make my life easy. Other people value love above materialism, however, so they would be different to me. One or the other cannot cover everyone.

Do you want a cookie for having an IQ over 65? The average IQ is 100, so unless you're an inbred moron who thinks one of the most cliche topics can actually bring you into a deep conversation, then you have made a big mistake.

[Dezimo]

i don't think money can buy happiness

i've spent the about $160 on games in the last 2 weeks because i've been bored, but none of it has made me any happier.
it's just keeping me from going insane because i've been stuck inside for so long

for me to be happy i need to be out with my friends

Starving with the one you love !?!?!?! your not going to be happy for very long!
with a million dollars I can buy all the love I need , & we can eat drink & be merry :)

[ScrubbyNinja]

Money buys Sex, Drugs, and the ability to do just about what ever the fuck you want and get away with it.

Sounds pretty cool to me.

[Snayke]

Also, who says that you can only get happiness by loving someone who returns that love? If that is the only way you can be happy, you are a very sad person.
