Money does bring happiness if you know how to use it to achieve it. One need money to achieve the goals that he/she has set. What happen is that we believe having money the happiness will start but it doesn’t work like that. Having the money is just a stepping stone where we take ourselves from being in debt. When an individual is financially free and do the things that he/she wants to then the happiness will begin. Happiness starts within oneself.

Hey Ray,

Bang on with the comment about happiness coming from within.

What if we had all the material possessions we wanted? Where we would go from there? The inward journey then begins..

That made for an interesting read, I’m glad I stumbled upon this.
I think that in modern society today, money, to a certain extent, does bring a person happiness.

It’s not fair to compare a wealthy investment banker to a man living among nature in the mountains. Living with nature has also proven to bring happiness. If you want to live among the mountains in modern society, you need money. If you want to live among the mountains in a third world country, all you need to do is go there.

I think that money does provide a foundation for happiness (could I use the word satisfaction?). Money can provide our general needs (food) and when it does we feel satisfied. That satisfaction would not be possible without money. The problem is that money is extreemly limited in what it has to offer but we keep trying to use money reproduce those feelings of satisfaction – but it will never come. When more satisfaction illudes us we are left empy and miserable.

Ray, I’m very passionate about this and try to throw this conept into my posts quite often.

I agree. After certain basic needs are met, the amount of money is unrelated or as you say negatively correlated with happiness.

Unfortunately, so many of us buy into this lie (or have bought into it in the past). Posts like this help us to see through this falsehood.

Thanks for the post.
