Money Confession – Money & Happiness

I had the opportunity to speak at an event. I asked the audience (100 or so people) to anonymously write down a secret money confession. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be posting some of the more powerful of those confessions. This is number 3 in the series:

“I don’t believe people that say money can’t make you happy.”

Other confession already listed:

Nobody will convince you otherwise until you make a lot of money and see that you aren’t any happier. It’s the things in life that make you happy, not the money.

It may not make you happy, but it sure as hell would help. No more money fights, or stress because an unexpected bill comes in…

Money may not bring you happiness, but it’s a good down payment.

Money is instrumental thing. Use it or lose it. Happiness is the mind and feel, brain and heart. No money on these two last things.

I agree with Kenny. Itâ€™s what you make of life that will make you happy not what life makes of you. Because the more you have, the more youâ€™ll spend and youâ€™ll end up at the same place you started.
