What makes people happy?
It seems like the less you worry about spending money, the happier you are. Once people have enough for simplistic needs, they worry less about money, and concentrate on things that make them happy.
Rich people are not happy people. Let me rephrase that, rich people aren’t happy because they have money. In fact, if a person is a miserable miser, just because he’s a rich miserable miser doesn’t make him happier. The more you have, the more you have to worry about.
What’s the secret to being happy if money can’t get it for you? And why are we so obsessed with having more money if it isn’t worth having the majority of it?
Even as many people talk about it, most still strive to work toward savings and building wealth. Me too! I still work (part time), but I hope to go beyond simple need for money and use my free time to improve the lives of others and to be a benefit of some sort.
Passion, excitement, drive, creativity. Those make me happy, and I don’t have to buy them. 
Is money all that much fun? What would you rather be doing?
And why aren’t we chasing fun and fulfillment more when we find a stabability of home and income?
Maybe you can share your favorite activities. Mine? I love spending time with the Cajun, the kids. I love my experimental cooking, inventing, reading, working on my novels, watching incredible fantasy stories and so much more to list. Very few of the things I love cost much more than a few spare dollars a month. Most involve me being creative, more than anything else.
What’s does your happiness look like? Is it experiences or materalistic?
