As a person who has seen some poor countries firsthand, I can state without question that some of the happiest people I've ever met were people that had no idea what it was like to have money. It's tough for people like us in a country like the USA to understand this, because we've had things in abundance for so long. I guess I'd go with the 3rd one, since I don't personally believe money has much to do with personal happiness, but we're so used to the idea that it does that we don't know how to allow ourselves to be happy without it.

Money buys the possibility for happiness.

Shitloads of money + no friends family or girl = kinda happy, but not 100%

However: friends, family, girl, and no money = miserable.

I voted It buys a portion of my happiness, but not 100%. I think money can buy happiness to an extent, and there is definitely people out there who think it can bring total happiness. Personally, I can't see myself being totally happy with life being rich as **** but with no friends or family close to me.

Educated response: money is cool and all, but the Bears, Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks winning a championship all in the same year would keep be smiling for awhile, broke or not.

Tiger is the man. If he's not happy, he's a moron. He was banging like 100 whores. Now one divorced him, so he's banging 99 whores. Not bad.

Haha did you recently clean up on the market or something dews? Starting this thread, and all the boiler room/ stock market sigs and avvys.

not recently, just wanted to start an adult convo and gauge where people are at as far as views of money. im one of those people that takes alot of pride in my job, and actually love my job. To me annuities, playing the market, selling life and mortgage protection is like a game for me. its a rush. the downs are very down and the highs are super high....and i love every minute of it. money makes me happy besides the actual dollar amount, its the fist pump when you win. and sometimes it can be a zambrano momement when your off your game.

as far as my old sig, it is my favorite movie, it inspires me. when i am on a loser i pop that it to get motivation.
