Money doesn't buy Happiness

True. But I would add money buys you choices and choices make me happy. For example if I have money I can afford to drive a nice car. If I don’t have money I have to drive a 10 year old car just trying to make it to the next mile.

Another example: If I have money I can afford to buy what ever I want to eat. So if I want steak two nights a week I can. If I have not money then it’s beans and rice.

For me money = choices and choices = happiness. Not sure about the rest of the world…

You should check out the article below. I like the part about fun is something you have until you’re bored…

Just like Dave says, money can buy fun, but not happiness. There is a big difference. Fun is something that you have until you’re bored with whatever you’re doing. Happiness is being content with what you have.There is actual scientific evidence to back this up. According to a study done by a Princeton economist in June 2006, once you reach a certain income level, earning more doesn’t necessarily smiling more. If anything, it could mean more stress.Money can mean breathing easier if it drastically affects your basic standard of living. Harvard professor Daniel Gilbert said that going from $5,000 in income to $50,000 will raise your spirits, but going from $100,000 to $1 million will not affect your happiness level much, if at all.
