Would you rather...

If I take the money does that mean I have to be miserable?? Cause I'm pretty happy already.

Yeah for the purposes of the question it's one or the other, sorry girl!

So if one chooses money, they will be miserable?

It's purely a hypothetical question. If you could ONLY pick one or the other (I am obviously aware it is possible to have both) then which would it be?

Then I’ll stay with money

Money, hands down. I firmly believe that happiness absolutely can be bought with enough money.

That's interesting to me when people say that. I don't think so. The richest people are always the ones with the most problems. Often drugs. I think money can buy you things that may provide some happiness but ultimately money can't bring you happiness if you're not happy with yourself/your partner, etc.

I already have both.

She said “if you had to choose.” Honestly I don’t understand why you even post in here.

Money
I'll take my chances, I'd rather be rich and miserable than poor and happy

If it is you can only pick one scenario — happiness for life, sign me up!

I am middle class now and am so damn blessed and grateful. I really am. Do I dream of riches, sometimes, but really at the end of the day, in a world full of 1) poverty and 2) rich, but mentally unwell, lonely people — me, well, I am pretty lucky!!

Numerous studies show that happiness levels do not improve with wealth. After enough income to live securely, money is not the key to being joyful.

Okay, I mean, that's your opinion. For me, personally, I can absolutely buy happiness with money. I've always been at peace with myself, I've had the same friends when I was broke and now that I'm not, and my happiness is not particularly contingent on my husband. Everything that makes me happy, traveling, experiences, nice things, financial stability, peace from knowing that an expensive emergency of any sort wouldn't destroy my life, all of that I could buy with money.
