This bullshit about how money can't happiness is ridiculous. Show me how happy you are without money and show me how happy you are with money.

The question is, though, how much happy you're getting for how much money and how much unhappy you're putting in to get that happy.

I could definitely be a lot happier with two hundred and fifty thou extra a year, in a vacuum, but if I had to do something awful or insanely stressful or wherein I was treated abusively, it would take away from the marginal utility of the happiness bought with said bread.

Onstar was doing something that thousands of people are working terrible day jobs so that they can pay for the webspace to do on the side, of course...

Is everybody here drunk tonight or something? A-crabby, I know you gotta wave the flag of capitalism and all that, but again I'll be taking your opinion with a salt lick. I've been rich and I've been poor, and the money wasn't the deciding factor as to whether I was happy or not.

mo' money mo' problems for sure.

I really believe that living simply is one of the most important keys to happiness. That said being so poor that you are constantly worrying about paying your bills is one of the most stressful things.

I do really like this episode of This American Life, especially the last segment. Choosing to be happy (unless you are clinically depressed) can be done independent of your tax bracket.

Money can't buy happiness but lack of money can buy lots of unhappiness.

Kinda seems to go along with what we are discussing here.  File this one under shit my ______ says.  Of course it's utter bullshit.  Wealth and Success are not Love's constant companions.  They have an adversarial relationship at best.

Quote
A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them.

Then she said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked. "No," she said. "He's out." "Then we cannot come in," they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. So, he said, "Go tell them I'm home, and invite them in!"

The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a house together," they replied. "Why is that?" she wanted to know. One of the old men explained. "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and pointing to another one he said, "This man is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now, go and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was over-joyed. "How nice!" he said. "Since that's the case, let us invite in Wealth. Let him come in and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "Why don't we invite Success?" But, their daughter was listening from the corner of the room. She jumped in with her own suggestion. "Wouldn't it be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

The wife agreed. "Then, let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love in to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward the house. Then the other two also got up and followed him.

Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success, "I only invited in Love, as you directed. Why are you all coming in?"

The old men replied together, "If you had invited only Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed. However, since you invited Love... wherever He goes, we go with him... because wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"

They should have invited in "Children Keep Their Mouths Shut While The Adults Are Talking".

Don't forget--if the man of the house isn't home, you can't have any of them.

Well, if a lady, alone in a house invites a drifter in for "love" when she's home alone, that's a whole different parable/porno.

That was all really a lot of fun, so cans all around. Oops, can't do that - oh well, I guess you should have invited in the can fairy.
