Most people are happy? Really? That is news to me.
“All I want is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy.”
Ditto that, fireflight!
Really?
I still have to stick with Thoreau on this one.
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.”
And of course, I should think it applies just as much to women.
Who’s rich? I’m 125,000 in debt… stupid mortgage. I guess I’m poor and apathetic?
Scrooge is happy?
Opinions are good! You get to see different views of people. My opinion is that I think you can be happy with money or not depending on how you approach it. I don’t think having money is bad, since you can do some good with it.
On the other hand, I think money can be a distraction to happiness, either striving to make ends meet or using it to fulfill the void.
I say be happy either way. Money is still a necessity to sustain yourself and your family.
By the way, nothing wrong with being Scrooge McDuck!
“The man who is happy is not he who is believed to be so but he who believes he is so.” •Michel De Montaigne
2B or not 2B. That is the question.
I w/ other commenters. Most people are not happy.
Zvi, I think you hit it on the head. Most people want “to be” happy more than rich.
