Money won't save you or make you perfectly happy. To that I add...


… neither will your hobbies especially movies and music and computer games, glamour magazines, beautiful usually female celebrities, perfect houses with top wallpaper and well decorated ceilings and floors, computers, technology, cars etc.

It may bring something but never an ultimate ajour-oriented perfection, agree? Thanks.

"Perfectly happy?" there s no such thing. Life has its ups and downs - learning how accept and deal with that is what it's all about.

So, what in your opinion, will make you perfectly happy?

Because I guarantee that the stuff you left out is harder to come by than most of the things you listed.

Money makes me happy.

Money doesn't make a person HAPPY, it just makes them HAPPIER!

There's less to worry about if you have money. More time to enjoy life, living in safer and more comfortable places, less fear of the future, better medical care and healthier food, less self-denial and more treating yourself and others, etc. Of course all your worries won't go away, and money brings a few new worries, but overall prosperity makes people considerably happier than poverty. And it makes them healthier.

It won't make you perfectly happy but it can certainly save you.

Perfectly happy sounds like a standard set so high that you can never achieve it but hobbies, music, and things, can make people happy. Money doesn't buy happiness but neither do empty pockets.

Perfectly happy is dangerous to the human condition.
