I was thinking of all the things that make me happy





and they all involved money.

I've heard of the phrase money can't buy you happiness...ok, but i have never tried buying things without money.

Those who say money cannot buy happiness don't know where to shop

Perhaps money can't make you happy, but lack of money can certainly make one miserable.

Disagree. My wife knows a reasonable number of millionaires. Few are all that happy.

Yes, there are some things in life more important than money--but they won't go out with you unless you've got some!

Now, what's yer point?

I don't know about all of you, but a nice house on a front beach costing a million dollars or two would definitely make me happy.

If they are not happy they have nothing to blame but themselves,
and I doubt if they would get any sympathy from anyone.

Well, two have been the victims of gold diggers. Is failing to spot a gold digger something to blame them for?
