And I already explained how money can be used to cope with any situation in real life in my earlier post, successfully.
Yes. The more money I have, the more I want. In fact, do you realize it is a self realizing thing and thus, can lead to more and more happiness? Let me explain.
Consider a poor person, he has only $100. Next year, he aims to make $50. He does it and next year, he has $150. Now he wants more. He wants to make another $100 next year. It will be EASIER for him to achieve this aim, considering a compound and variable rate of PERCENTAGE return on his investment. So, in fact, the more money you have, THE EASIER IT IS TO MAKE MORE AND MORE MONEY. AND of course I will want more and more money. Exponential rate of money. So, it becomes EASIER and self fulfilling to earn MORE and MORE MONEY which I want!
This is true because in any investment, it is the % return which matters, not the lump sum. If I have a billion dollars iA, I will want another billion dollars, which is more and more money. Because the rule of PERCENTAGE return, that will be so much easier for me to achieve iA! So, since it becomes easier to earn exponential amount of money, I will be realizing my aim of more and more money. Since I will be realizing it, I will definitely be more and more happy.

I know this girl. She is extremely rich and part of her family comes on the tv. They are famous as in. She would have ANYTHING she wants because she always had the money to buy everything BUT her mother and father wouldn't get along. Lots of fights would happen between her parents and it was official that they were going to get divorced. Was she happy? No. Her mom was crying all day and her dad wasn't happy.
How can money help in that Borakk? You can't buy happiness. You never can.
I agree about having some money in your life to live with but there are far more important things in life other than money.
About you having a medical care because you are rich, well never underestimate what life can bring you.
Money is just a decoration for this life and it doesn't last forever. It alone will never be the reason for happiness.

Well, that girl's parents obviously doesn't know how to use money and are just busy quarreling with each other. Its not money's fault. Its their management's fault. And Money can still help them. Why not hold a mutual discussion between the hubby and the wife? Maybe the wife wants many things, but the hubby is just too stingy, though rich? Or he doesn't want to give his wife what she wants? Like a luxurious house in her own personal name (maybe her hubby just keeps all properties in his own name and not one in his wife or daughter's name)? Just spend some money and meet the wants! MONEY can help to solve EVERYTHING.
I do believe of any incurable disease. Now ask yourself- do you have a higher chance of catching that kinda disease when you are very rich and do regular medical checkups? Or is it higher in a middle class or poor family who are not bothered to do any regular medical checkup because it would cost too much money? The chance in case of a very rich health conscious person is substantially less.
So, it is only more and more and more money than I can think of which can make me happy. Nothing else.
*Hope*:
For me..happiness is self satisfaction of what u have and what Allah has written for u..whether it is a thing that u always wanted but never got or getting something u never wanted..

There is something called love. As I said, they were rich and famous. The mother, father and daughter had everything they wanted. =]
Money can't help solve everything. Hollywood stars are the richest and they get divorced. Why couldn't money fix everything then?
Why couldn't money make this world in peace without wars? Actually, money is the reason why people kill each other nowadays.
About people getting sick, well it is not about the chance of getting a disease, it is God who gives health to people so don't think because you are rich, you are less likely to become sick. Never think in that manner because it is not right.
So, you are saying that all poor people in this world are not happy?

Yes. They had everything they wanted. But more information on what this 'everything' is. I'm sure either the husband or the wife doesn't get SOMETHING what they want, for which they are quarreling. And EVERYTHING can be bought with money. They just need to CORRECTLY identify what is this something which one of them is not getting. And use money to fulfill this want.
You were talking about love. Even love can be bought with money. If I have very excessive amount of money, my wife will love me automatically if I satisfy all her needs and wants with my money. As simple as that. =]
Of course its Allah who gives health. I fully believe in this. Why shouldn't he give me good health if I am very very rich by the grace of him and pray to him regularly? He will definitely. He is ever merciful and ever giving. No doubt about that.
