QOTD: Can money buy you happiness?

It's payday for me. Terrell Owen's publicist, Kim Etheridge, said that he has 25 million reasons to be alive. The Kennedy Curse certainly seems to be affecting one of the richest families of the world. It's an age-old question, but it's a good one.

Can money buy you happiness? Is the quality of life determined by how much you've got in your wallet? Should the phrase, "Money doesn't buy you happiness," end with, "Just kidding."?

If the money in used to good use... say, in the form of Johnny Depp...
The yes. :)

Haha, joking. If you are the poorest soul on the planet you can be the one who has the most happiness.

From personal experience, my friend couldn't get me anything for my birthday today so she made me a funny card.

I say it's the best present I ever had, because it is. :)

it all depends on your definition of happiness.
if happiness to you means having an obscene amount of luxury items,
than yes money can buy you happiness.

but if you're the type of person who takes pride in the simple things in life,
like watching your child's first steps or the company of a good friend.
than no.

money is just paper with stuff printed on it.

it doesn't last.
but memories do.

Yes, yes it can.

What would make me happy? Enough money to have a place of my own and to be able to fix my credit and be able to get a car. Why would those things make me happy? Because I would stop being a drain on my mother, and that would ease our relationship.

Maybe I'm shallow (ok I'm shallow) but I think that sometimes to get yourself into a place to BE happy you need some moolah...

You can get happiness without spending money.
I'm sorry some of my happiness,
USD 1000000 for 1 happiness [IDK either how to count this]

Do you want some??
Quick! Buy some!

Money can bring happiness or it can be a curse...it just depends on the importance you put into it. There are people who the more they have the more they want, and those are the ones who are always living in misery, because nothing makes them happy. And then there are others who know how to share what they have and are happy to use their resources to make a difference.
