When I was a poor student-to-entry level worker, I was clearly not happy.

Then, when I’d increased my income, along with tuition reimbursement, then my happiness factor shot up some more.

And finally, when I got a job where I could control my hours, telecommute half the time, and still have a good deal of money left over, for both travel and coursework, I was the happiest.

Now, my latest goal is to be able to work 1/2 that time, while completing the rest of the income stream, by trading futures/options. Once that happens, then I would have reached a pinnacle of operational happiness.

So don’t believe these money doesn’t lead to happiness propagandists. It certainly does but yes, you need some commonsense to make it work out.

I think not having to think about money can bring happiness. Most of the time, that comes from having a lot of money,but I’m sure I could be happy with no money at all if I had an iron clad guarantee that all of my needs and reasonable wants would be met.

money may not bring happiness, but LACK of money (at least for the basic necessities of life) can bring UNhappiness.

I’ve lived through broke times and fairly flush times and had moments of happiness during both, but the level of stress due to finanaces is certainly lower in the flush times. That leaves one more open and receptive to the moments of happiness.

Cool article!! There’s a survey that had written that happy people tend to have higher incomes later on in their lives. So, while money may not help make people happy, being happy may help them make money… humm think about it!!

I have to admit that I am a strong pro-capitalist (not evil though).

Money can bring power. And power brings happiness for some people.
