You know the saying? Money can’t buy happiness, but poverty can’t buy anything.

I have been studying belief systems for over 25 years and know without doubt that Money is just one belief system. There’s an old saying that goes, “The rich get richer the poor get poorer”, this is because poor people have a belief system called ‘poverty consciousness’ they mostly unconsciously believe they don’t deserve or are not worthy of money.In order to feel you are worthy to have money you just need to get rid of your negative beliefs about it.

Nothing can buy happiness because happiness is just a small part of the human psyche.Happiness comes from shedding your negative belief system and becoming self-determined. There are poor happy people and unhappy rich people, many rich people are seriously depressed and as are many poor people. The problem we have as humans is that we are rarely satisfied. We always seem to want more. My job is to even the playing field so that more people are happy with what they have and stop yearning for things they believe will make them happy.

I learned from personal experience over many years that it’s the constant worry about money and the stress that causes, that creates the great divide between the ‘haves and have nots’. If you are serious about creating the money you need to have the life you believe you want and are struggling to get by, log onto my website and contact me and I’ll send you a FREE COPY of my e-book ‘Wealth Beyond – Belief’ so that you can stop worrying about money and attract what you need. May you have all you need and some of what you want.

I feel everyone is just trying to be moral by saying money doesn’t buy happiness; social proof at work. The following is a partial truth: MONEY BUYS HAPPINESS. Anyone who disagrees I will say just hasn’t experienced certain life events. I will not criticize or condemn, rather I will be tolerant and understanding.I grew up on less than $12 a week by a single mother in a developing country. I’ve been there ladies and gentlemen, I worked hard to get where I am. I came to the US and I attained a higher education. I read books on real estate, taxes, investing, and my all time favorite, Dale Carnegie’s how to win friends and influence people. Today I’m very affluent. I remember wanting to travel, wanting to eat something different for once in a while, having nice clothes, not having to worry about paying bills, being able to have the latest gadgets, etc. Did money buy me happiness? yes it did. Did it buy me complete happiness? no, ATTITUDE and WISDOM did. Do I give to charity? yes. Do I buy nice gifts for my friends? when they deserve it. Do I spoil people? no, instead I promote self sufficiency. It’s attitude and education which win happiness people, money will only go so far.

Maybe I’m just bitter but I know money is the number one cause of divorce. Money broke up my family and ruined everyones’ childhoods. So in my opinion, yes, money leads to happiness. Maybe it can’t buy it, but it definitely influences it.
Men with money get more women.
You have tons of options with money.
Girls can look better and feel better about themselves with money because they can buy nice clothes.
Children with money can go to nice private schools instead of ghetto public ones.
Think about washing dishes. Most people don’t like washing them. Think about how annoying it is, like, “I have to wash these dishes because I have no choice.” Now what if you are rich but washing dishes? You wash them because it is morally right. Technically you could just pay someone to wash them for you. It gives you the option of doing something for yourself.

I agree, so here’s something you can ponder about: when or if you’re rich, you don’t have to live in luxury, I would be the same old me: no luxuries, no good food (but plain, boring, or healthy food), while being rich, I’m proud of this. But enough about that: I know money buys happiness because I’m not happy because I have no money.

Correct! Money buys happiness because I’m pissed off I didn’t get money. Never mind, s@#t happens! Why am I sceptical? Sometimes I have no idea why I deny people’s comments. On the contrary, are you rich? I calmed down about my poverty, so righty-O, I’m happy again. But it would be nice if half of us got $600,000 when we win it, come on! I can rent an expensive apartment with that. Any questions on me? Apartment joe says, an ascetic should never mock or disparage a rich man, if you don’t tolerate a rich person’s way of life or eat their food when they were nice enough to offer it, you’re a fool.

Wrong, wrong! Money does buy happiness, I’m sad, I’m poor, and I want money, I was supposed to win money!

Jobs aren’t a cause of happiness, but they’re obviously a cause of money. If a rich person claims to be happy, he or she is right, I know this because I was supposed to win over $600,000 and I wanted that money and still don’t have it, so I’m sad and pissed off because I’m not rich.

Yeah, money does buy happiness, but if I had too much money, I wouldn’t buy luxuries, and I would eat a certain way and wear shabby clothes, but live in an expensive flat in a vertical building (i.e. it’s called an expensive apartment). Asceticism if you combine non-suffering techniques is truly liberating, and I believe if a rich person did it he can forgive the pauper for hating him, and wouldn’t be such a clown.
