sol740 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 If life were so simple that it could be condensed in such a way I'd choose happy and poor, which of course it cannot be, so I'm wondering the significance of the question besides satisfying some odd, psycho-analytical curiosity. Though that's hardly your fault. I wonder if this is an exercise in how people answer questions, and not really about the question itself. Such as whether or not folks can answer the question directly, without injecting some pompous rant about ... Oh ... whoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87GT Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 so basically i should change my question to: do you think money can buy happiness? If you have enough to buy a handful of Italian cars and a garage to store them in then yes and a large house then yes. Rich gets my vote I can be a hermit. It is all good.

SinisterSS Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 you don't need money to find happiness, we all know when you die you can't take the money with you or any material object you buy with it, so for me happy and poor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mensan Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 More money very rarely changes anyone positively. That said, losing money can have a profound effect on your being. It is possible to go from rich and sad to happy and poor, but not as likely to go from poor and sad to rich and happy. More money will most likely amplify the things that made you sad wen you were poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 this seems to be a bad question bc everyone is answering the same way! you asked it I'll bite..... I'd rather be rich and sad. No problems with that what-so-ever.No qualms, not a shot. Money can buy happiness, i am a firm believer in that, no joke. im with you on this so basically i should change my question to: do you think money can buy happiness? yes it can. but can bring more issue with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Rich and Sad. Why? Because Sad can be fixed with time, treatment and training ones self. That's much easier than making ones self rich. Some will debate that, but the reality is for the average American, becoming rich isn't easy for them. Not as easy as achieving happiness. IMO, it all boils down to attitude. Money can't necessarily buy happiness but it can releave lots of stress. However, I will say that no matter what my household income has been, there's always been some level of stress, unhappiness at times and pure delight too. Balance and putting priorities in order is key. Me....give me rich and sad. I can work out the sad. However, if you're happy, one could interpret that as being rich. I mean happy is happy. If one can appreciate and enjoy what they have regardless of W2's, then I say they are rich be a perhaps a slight different definition.

ZappBrannigan Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Sad and rich. If the only way to be rich according to this question is to be emo and miserable, then at least my family and friends will enjoy all the money I've got, even if i'm busy crying in the corner helping myself to another piece of cheese cake. too much dumb in this thread. now that statement is true.
