Well I think that money it is VERY important, there are a lot of people who say that if you have your family with you, your friends and all the people you love, you must be happy... Confused

But what happens if you have all this people around you and you don't have a house to live or food to eat, most of us in this forum are not having this problem but that's a real situation in the world.

Another example: Supose you have children, Will you be happy if they are with you? you will say "Yes" (I hope Very Happy ) but If you don't have money to give them all what they need? will you be happy?

That's why I think money is very important, it doesn't gives you the happiness but you need it to be happy.

Unfortunatly this is the real world Confused

Life can be rough
Money is lubrication

Money is not necessary, but it can make life smoother. Very Happy

when you have little money, more money definitely can bring you a great deal of happiness, but when your money is much enough, you will care about something else, and then money can't bring you more happiness anymore.

Sometimes I wish I was rich enough, that way I might quit my job and live a cozy life without working hard, however, what will I do if I quit my job? I will feel very bored and upset. some of my friends quit job after they got married, that's their choice. they spend plenty of their time on MaJiang, having their hair done, going shopping...and that's not what kind of life I want. I like to be a working woman, although not rich.

Yes. Money is important. I have excellent grades in college.. a nice family and etc.. but we don't have money ( and now that my dad had problems with his check Evil or Very Mad ) we are like broke.. so I feel really and extremately unhappy. so. yes. I need money to be happy.. at least "now".

One of my friends told me that she really had to look for a rich man if she considered marriage. I asked her:"why? why do you think it's necessary if a man is rich or not?" she answered:"simply, rich men could more turn me on than a poor one."

Yeah, she was definitely money-oriented. and finally she married a rich man as she hoped. but now she is not as happy as she wished. I guess she never actually loves her husband, although that guy isn't bad.

Now I am not rich, but I am happy. I guess I won't be happy if I am too poor to raise my daughter. but I don't think it's all about money. many facts can make people happy or unhappy. money is just one of them.

I'm so happy that you all agree with me. Finally you have also seen that money is the most important thing in this world.

Oh! I've seen this trick before. Using facts to prove your point.

It's a bit unfair, don't you think? Laughing Laughing
