I recently took several career, value, aptitude and personality tests at university. One of the questions included how much you value making a significant amount of money. Of course I want to be rich, but why do people always say that money can`t buy happiness?
I think that if I could buy a boat, a nice car, a nice house and go on vacations without stressing too much over money that I would be happy. Should I choose a career (which I hopefully like) just because I can make a lot of money?
Additional info, added Sunday August 12 2007, 10:32 pm: Making a lot of money isn`t my only aspiration, I realize that family and friends are more important..

Alli answered Wednesday August 15 2007, 12:05 am: Everyone is based on their own opinion. Personally my opinion is money can't but happiness. Through my life love and care makes me happy. You can not just walk up to somebody and say here's $5 if you love me! Silly as it may sound but think about it! Of course if you buy someone a nice gift they will love you but I would think just because of your money though. You could be the poorest person in the world but if you have a kind heart that will really get you through life happy. That's just my opinion though.

Think about it, What happens if you get to choose between a job that pays alot but you hav eno interest in it and well you feel its a drag to go to work everyday.
But what happens if you choose a job that you LOVE, But pays little. You would proberly wanna work more hours if you like a job, Which equals more money. There are so many ways I find that you can go on and on about this topic. And I could proberly list alot but I wouldnt wanna bore you know would I:P [ Telly24555's advice column | Ask Telly24555 A Question ]

Here's why:
You can have all the money you ever need, but when you find the love of your life, how do you know that they love you and not your money??
You have 2 kids, and you give them everything that you never had, but when you tell them no, they act like they dont love you anymore. But as soon as you come out your pocket, Its smiles on their faces
What if you push everyone away because you think all they want is money? Then you will be lonely. And what does loneliness equal?? Unhappiness....
