Actually I visited the busto forum because this forum has 3 posts per day.

don't hate, I just wanted to fit in with the rest of the 100NL regs so they'd stop ridiculing me for being a station

money buys fun, fun makes happy,

oldschool has lost his ass.

money makes things easier allowing you to do extra things to make yourself happy

while it doesn't bring automatic happiness directly, it obviously helps a lot

pretty sure im winning the million today

already bought a balla cigar to celebrate

as sad as it is, todays society revolves around money. everything you do involves money in one form or another. i can understand for some people that have it all or were given the silver spoon cant fully understand how it is, but some people who came from almost nothing or worked up from the middle know how important money is. there is such thing as having too much money, and by that i mean money that leaves you in a spot where you will do dumb things and ruin your life, but having money is always a + and gives you a stress free life by being able to pay your mortgage(s) and other bills. money is what it will always be, the key to everything in society unless you wanna go live in the wilderness if that makes you happy..........

I didn't mean money wasn't important. It is obviously more important to me even than most of my peers, thus why I play cards 30 hours a week. I understand the importance of money, and I strive to have it.

The thing is money, can solve some stress, like mortgage and bills, but if you are genuinely unhappy before(not unhappy because of money, mortgage problems), then the new car will not make you happy. It will give you a short burst of happiness, as will getting drunk, ****ing a hot ho, and many many other things. But if these short-bursts of happiness are all you strive for in life, then you will never be happy.

Most of the people who sit here and say (seriously) that money is everything, it will make them happy, etc, are usually the ones without money or the ones too young to understand that money won't fix things or at least "new" money. Money will get old to you, it does to everyone, and it will eventually stop covering your problems.

Don't ask me how I know this knowledge, I just do.

Anyone who says money is everything is a moron imo

That said money is very important. Infact if you had to name the biggest factor (assuming ur a normal person) to being happy or being miserable, money is def it.

disagree completely, the people around me are the biggest determining factor in how happy i am

and what allows you to be surrounded by 10's with loose morals?

Come back when you have it. I mean if you have like 3-5 mill, and are 30, and tell me that is #1. It won't mean **** to you then.

I think it makes someone a moron saying money is #1, as well. My dad(divorced) has been poor his whole life. No good jobs, nothing ever goes right, always broke. But he is happy. Extremely happy. I would be the same way without money. No doubt does money help solve stressful situations, like bills and worrying about paying for things, but it doesn't really bring much happiness except for the quick joy you get whenever you buy something. I know this sounds stupid, but to me it more is a way of stopping a situation that could be stressful instead of bringing happiness per se.

Basically money keeps less stress in your life, but won't make you "more" happy, it will make you less happy if you don't have it, but once you have it, you will get used to it and be just as unhappy as before.

Edit: Also, the people around me are likely my biggest factor as well, although that is a loose definition. My friends are cool and make me happier, but I could do without, I could make different friends. I would say a lot of it has to do with my family, but I also don't have 1 main factor, because the biggest factor for me is just how I was made. For some reason I don't have a temper, or rarely any unhappiness. It's nothing I had to work for, it was just there, and hopefully always will be there. It is def. something I am grateful for though.

so saying the opposite would be:
The lack of money adds more stress, but you'll still be as happy as if you had money.

nope.

not having to worry about eating out, paying rent, buying premium cable, buying something every time i feel like it, etc. makes me very happy because i don't have to worry or stress. It's not what makes me the happiest, but it certainly adds a lot of happiness to my life.

so i guess what i'm trying to say is that money makes me happy indirectly. less stress/thinking about money = more happiness

In terms of importance to 99% of people:

#1 Health
#2 Money

If this isn't your order, then you're weird, dunno what else to say. Fact is (and it was said earlier), money may not buy happiness, but lack of money causes a great deal of unhappiness. And if you truly think that having more money won't make you happier (not happy, but happier), then you're 100% downy

yeah. at least to me personally it does. obviously schwallie and his dad are freaks and very weird dudes

I am saying it will take out stress, which will make you happier, but if you have other problems then you will get used to the money and be as unhappy as before.

Someone who is inherently happy will continue to be happy, and money will obviously add to that, and I didn't say the opposite was true either. Someone who is happy and doesn't have money will likely still be happy, if not only later in life, I dunno. I know that if I didn't have money I would still be a happy person because of the people around me and my general attitude. If you feel like you would be completely unhappy without money then I doubt you are a happy person in the first place, but I'm not really focusing on that,

I'm simply focusing on the point I was making, which is an unhappy person that is unhappy because of other things, not just unhappy because they worry about mortgage and bills, will continue to be unhappy when the money comes. The money will not fix the other problems in their life. I'm not trying to argue other points or say the opposite is true, I'm simply saying that people who look to make a bunch of money in this because they are unhappy with their life(looks, friends, family, attitude) will realize very quickly that the money will not fix them.

Well no freakin duh, I don't think anyone in this thread said that having money = being happy

lol, you are so young for your age.

Saying 99% of people have that is just absurd, and completely wrong. Ask every 30+ Y.O, and I bet there will be soo sooo sooo many that don't mention money.

I don't believe everything that he says or agree with it all, but I can't believe how you think everything you say is right, and I srsly can't believe you think 99% of people care that much about money. You are older than me, I thought as we got older we all started to realize money wasn't everything, but some people never do. You see those guys that are 50, in their BMW, driving to work and being there 15 hours a week, those are the guys that don't realize money isn't everything. If you want to tell me that guy is happier than someone with a good, loving wife and family with a job he loves and a good enough home then I will know you are blind to the obvious.

if i have no money id be stressed
stress makes me unhappy
so money makes me happier

yes
