Money cannot buy happiness but it can by a yacht that you can name "Happiness" or a hooker named "Happiness". Poverty can't buy . If you are wealthy and aint happy, it's not the money.

DMC is bringing the goods to this thread , I love it when people even take it so far so they act like wealth and happiness are mutually exclusive. If you're wealthy and unhappy, wealth isn't your problem.

Basically.

[Axe Murderer]

it can buy a little happiness tbh but ask anyone rich who's lost a loved one they'll tell you they'd give it all away to bring that person back..some CEO making 5 mil a year bonuses but so stressed he doesn't get to enjoy it and finally has a stroke from the pressure would also tell you money ain't everything..shoot for a comfortable 80-100k living and you'll be livin the life.

agreed

[Kyle Orton]

I don't get the "people would give money away to bring a loved one back hypothetical". It's not like being rich leads to family members dying.

[ALVAREZ6]

^exactly^

I think poor people have an at least equal but probably higher probability of family members dying anyway

[Axe Murderer]

i think my TC was just saying that money sometimes consumes people's lives so much that they forgot about their loved ones and they don't realize it until it's too late. i think

but i agree in the sense that a lot of ppl today are too worried about getting that next big job/big raise that they can't even enjoy their life when they are perfectly well off as it is

[Kyle Orton]

Money isn't mutually exclusive with family and health. You can have all 3. Family and health is irrelevant to whether or not money brings happiness. You don't lose family and health by having money.

[Nick Manning]

"Money doesn't buy happiness" is just something poor people say.

[dirk4mvp]

"money never brought my anything but headache"

-grandpa TC, former millionaire

" i have money, family, and good health"

- grandpa4mvp, still alive and kickin millionaire

"Money doesn't buy happiness" is just something poor people say.

Teachers have patented it more than anyone else .

[Kyle Orton]

Yeah I'm saying family and health is irrelevant to having money.

It'd be like saying, "Having a nice car is nice, but making sure your penis doesn't get chopped off is more important!"

[Kyle Orton]

you just don't get it. who said they were exclusive? i said money wasn't the most important thing in life. health and family >> money. those are necessities, money is icing on the cake. you can be totally happy without piles of money. and plus there are a thousand other scenarios where money can cause more headache than it's worth. basically if you set your heart on money you'll never be fulfilled. but if you earn a comfortable living and live your life to your desires, you can be very happy.

Is there any kind of an inverse relationship between money and family + health?

They're two completely unrelated things. It's not like chosing to be poor guarantees no one I'm close to gets a terminal disease.

[Kyle Orton]

um what?

i never said that the 2 weren't mutually exclusive. i said chasing money never fulfills

If you have ty health and ty family, will choosing to be poor alleviate the problem at all? I don't understand how family and health is relevant at all to having money.

[Nick Manning]

This

family, health, and money are mutually exclusive things

[Nick Manning]

You can be in good health, have a healthy family, and still be living off ramen noodles and skunk beer.

Money enhances and improves your life, and makes happiness more accessible

[Kyle Orton]

dude, go take your adderall. i said 2 posts up that they were exclusive from one another. did you not understand what that meant or something? it's another way of wording what you just repeated twice

Then why do you keep bringing up family and health in a discussion about money. You can say it all you want to avoid looking stupid, your actions contradict it.

[Kyle Orton]

Money and health aren't mutually exclusive, but I'm gonna keep talking like they are mutually exclusive and keep acting like you have to chose between one or the other!

[Kyle Orton]

it's hard to have a good relationship with family if you're obsessed with money.

so you are saying they're mutually exclusive. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Nick Manning]

as far as "mutually exclusive" money goes, chasing it won't ever lead to fulfillment. money can't bring you happiness. it's hard to have a good relationship with family if you're obsessed with money. it won't bring you a woman who actually loves you for you, and not your cash. worrying about money too much is bad for your health.

these are the things im saying

I think you're reading too much into it. You'd be hard pressed to find somebody who isn't chasing the American dream, be it passively or aggressively. More often than not, they do it to better their lives and the lives of their family. A family that does not want for anything is usually happier.

[Kyle Orton]

I actually think they're the opposite of mutually exclusive. Who the wants to have poor family members who everytime you visit say, "Hey, can you give some money to help the family out!"

[Kyle Orton]

it's hard to have a good relationship with family if you're obsessed with money.

i mean they are independent variables, neither one has an effect on the other.

lol contradicting yourself

That would suck. Thank God I'm white.

[CubanSucks]

GranddadCubanSucks- this thread sucks now

[Kyle Orton]

That would suck. Thank God I'm white.

[Kyle Orton]

must i break everything down for you, or do you just do this on purpose? i'm really not sure.

i say that they're independent in the sense that you can have both, but a lot of people with messed up priorities don't appreciate the family that they have. having a father, mother, etc doesn't necessarily equate to having a good relationship with them.

You said they have no impact on each other, then you said if you value money too much it's tough to have a good relationship with your family. How is that not contradicting yourself?
