[quote=jpinpb][quote=sdrealtor]Another fallacy about the money doesnt buy everything is that while it doesnt buy happiness it can pay for lots of things that can make you happy and the lack of money can certainly create unhappiness. I tend to think most of those who say money doesnt buy everything says that because they dont have enough to live where and how they want and use to pacify themselves. [/quote]
For those who are not rich, think they will be happier if they’re rich. It’s an illusion.
Of course, my DH has a different opinion and says Julien wasn’t shopping at the right hobby stores.

You can roll out all the anecdotes you want. Yes there are many rich and unhappy people but there are also plenty of rich and happy people. Similarly there are happy poor people and unhappy poor people.
Thanks for repeating me. I clearly said it does not buy happiness. However it does contribute mightily to it and the other side of the coin is that not having enough creates unhappiness for most. Would you be happier if you had enough money to buy a winery in the Old Country and the DH could toil away as a Vespa mechanic without worry about earning a living. I think we both know the answer. Happiness comes from within but money sure helps in most cases.
