MONEY! MONEY!! MONEY!!!


looking at the value of MONEY in this

Our age one could simply conclude that

MONEY is the reason why we live...

As the saying goes "MONEY rule the world"


Try this if you haven't tried it before; try to carry a toddler who doesn't know your face if he ignores and act in an uncomfortable way, stretch your hand with a currency note and watch as he involuntarily crawl to you.....


If you ask 80% of people in Nigeria what there problem is "my brother na MONEY o"


Now my question is "does MONEY guarantee a happy life?"

Note: there is a difference between the following;

*GOOD JOB
*MARRIAGE
*FAMILY
*GOOD HEALTH
*WEALTH

Can we now say the combination of all this is equals to happy life?

Let's discuss it one after the order

GOOD JOB ;if the work is not stressful and the pay is okay. Wee consider it a good job
But how many people are happy with their good job? The attitude of people we work with, the boss, challenge of the work. All this makes us unhappy.

MARRIAGE ; someone goes by the monicker saasala states why everybody must get married on his thread https://www.nairaland.com/4142854/why-everyone-must-get-married#61850442
Going by the comments you'd be convinced that marriage doesn't really guarantee happiness

FAMILY ; to be married is somehow different from having a family, you may be single and still have a family, your siblings, nieces, friends are your family dependon how you interact with each other, as the saying denotes "your true family are the ones who truly understands you"

GOOD HEALTH ;"when you're healthy you're wealthy" but that's doesn't guarantee happiness when you still have to go day after day to hustle your ass out

WEALTH ; we've discussed dis above...

But can MONEY really guarantee happiness? as some who possess it, still lives a depressed life...


So guys what's your opinion on this issue?

.

If money was to be sole purpose of my happiness, I wouldn't be happy at the moment. Cause i feel the one i have is not enough.
Money is only a necessity, but it's doesn't guarantee a happy life..

Of course yes


If i have the opportunity to trade my certificate for $500k, i won't think twice

Good friendships... Vacations... Good health.

money is only one of the spice to make life happy for you but it is not the sole source of happiness , love, friends, family just add up to it .. but genuine happiness comes from the inside

you can have it all and still be the saddest person in the world .. only you can make you happy and nothing else

Money in itself does not make me happy. After all, I am not Scrooge McDuck, my happiness does not derive from swimming in money or money alone.However, money put to good use can make you a hell of a lot happier.

“Money is not the only answer, but it does make a difference” -Barack Obama.

Is money a requirement for happiness? No.

Can it help? Yeah.

Poverty/Hardship is a sin

Op let Me Ask You... Can You Be Poor And Happy? Show Me A Poor Man Who Is Satisfied and I Will Show You A Man Who Doesnt Need Money... If There Is No Money, I Am Sorry but There Can Never Be Happiness Or Joy... Although You Can Be Rich And Very Unhappy but You Can Never Be Poor And Full Of Joy... So Yes! Money Brings Happiness

"There is a quote from Bob Marley which says ‘Money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end’.

This is a fantastic quote because it separates the reality of what it is like to have money from the fantasy people have. Which is having nice cars, a huge house, women etc.

People confuse happiness with freedom; it is money that gives you freedom, not happiness. It might seem contradictory given that freedom does somewhat entail happiness, but ultimately, people fall into this trap of confusion and end up relying on this ‘freedom’ FOR their happiness. When in actuality, there is more to having a significant amount of money in order to be happy. Such as surrounding yourself with the right people in life.

If money made people happy, then why aren’t these celebrities on TV the happiest people in the world? They are not! A lot of them fall into the trap of confusing freedom with happiness and spiral out of control, leaning towards alcohol and antidepressants because they cannot make sense of why they are not happy."
