The fact is that money can equal happiness in certain situations and not in others. I don't think money can be included in the best things in life, since it can also be involved with the worst things in life. So, the answer to the thread needs to be what that money is getting you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s certainly not simple. It’s very important to have enough money to take care of your family and provide for their needs, etc. Not having enough money to meet basic needs can lead to unhappiness. Money can allow you to travel and pursue your interests. Money is good for a lot of things! But it does not directly equate to happiness. That is something inside you. Winning the Powerball can actually make lives worse. Tricky stuff. 11 minutes ago, Boca BIlls said: A lot (almost everything) of what people have said requires money.

More money you have better access to those meds if something does happen. You have to use an equal view when looking at things. Cant assume a guy without money wont encounter health problems.
