Can money buy happiness?

You betcha!

As a graduation present, I got a new Athlon computer with state of the art graphics card and I am in complete ecstasy over it!

Now I'm off to the store to buy PoR!

'See you in a couple months!

Enjoy Eminem

I have the same spec, after suffering with a dinosaur for years. My hubby LENT me the money out of our joint savings for the upgrade as a BIRTHDAY PRESENT

He just doesn't understand the importance

Well if you would cover my loss - then I might consider it

Nice going, @Eminem. But I think you'll find PoR a little lacking next to some of the other current CRPG offerings (BG2, Arcanum), and will be back sooner than you imagine.

You can buy happiness. Haven't we all learned this from the mastercard commercial? ^_~

Happiness, no.

momentary gratification, yes.

you can definitely buy happiness.
if you were exceedingly wealthy, then you wouldn't have to work and could all the things that make you happy.

Doesn't it depend what makes you happy? Can't buy me love, as someone once sang...

i disagree, with tons of money at your disposal, you would be free to spend time with the one you love, pursue a new love, whatever.
most couples fight over money...with that out of the way, you are free to enjoy life and eachother.

Well I disagree

Having time and money doesn't help you find someone you love in the first place, though I agree it can remove some amount of stress from a relationship

I personally don't think one can buy happiness, at least I know I can't.

Love, inner peace, a feeling of meaning to your existance, health...you can't buy any of this even if a lot of money will make things easier.

Does nobody agree with me?

Imo, Money can buy happiness, but it can't buy joy. Happiness would be things like getting new stuff. Even having sex would be included in happiness by this statement. Love(and the other things CE and Georgi mentioned) would be classified under joy with this statement.

I do not believe that money buys happiness. That being said, however, if I were unhappy I'd rather have money than be without

I'm not the only one on this morning! ^_^

Anyways, I agree with SS, money really can't buy true joy.
