Of course it would make me happy! It shouldn't, but it would. It could also make my life better; I could save that money for a car, college, and a house. And, of course, I would take 1,000 of that and go on a shopping spree. (I sound so selfish, don't I?)

Us happy? How many people does "us" include? If there is too many I won't be happy. I would be very happy with one million dollars. I do my hobbies for the rest of my life.

One million dollars could definetly make my life better and happier. I stress so much about bills and groceries and presents for birthdays and holidays, etc. I can;t handle the pressure sometimes. If I had a million dollars or even any dollars, my life would be so much better. I hate thinking about all those things, they cause stress headaches and tension that is unnecessary. I would definelty keep the life I have now and just relax a little knowing that the money would be invested and I was living off the interest.

Agreed. I could buy lots with a million, and girls would be queuing up for me.

Yes and no. Whether it would solve your problems depends on how you manage money.

Ya i think a million dollars would make me happier, and a heck of a lot less stressed out. I collect for American Express, and i hear all kinds of stories everyday because of the American economy right now (you can thank your president for that)...as a Canadian our dollar is doing better but its life in general, ess eche eye tee is expensive.

No, nothing and noone can make me happy but myself. But a million dollars sure could reduce certain stressful elements in my life.

I completely disagree with every single person on here that says money could make them happy!! We see poor people in poverty stricken countries on TV and do you know something? They are happy!! This is all because they have their families alive and healthy and are having a good time with the little resources they have!! Money can make no one happy and i feel strongly that instead of looking towards the airheads with all the money who splash it about we should look to the poor people of our world who have little in the money area but still manage to laugh and smile!! They are our role models

Money can not buy happiness or love or peace. I know people who are more poor than poor and they are the happiest people on earth that i know.

 No, it can't buy happiness...but you can't deny that they need the money and would probably take it if given to them.

No. Money is only a TOOL at best, and in the hands of some? Bad tool.

Definitely happiness, is a state of mind and circumstance: Not a tool. I do not see any correlation between these two ideas whatsoever.

Prove your point to me, please.

If you are not happy now with what you have got money is not going to make any difference whatsoever. In fact it could possibly make things worse.

I think a million dollars could make you happy for a little bit, until you do not spend it right. If you know how to spend money, then it might make you happy. But most people do not know how to spend it. Lets say someone buys a million dollar home. They will need to start making enough money to do things like water their lawn, which they have more of. Pay electric bills, which they have more of. And so on.

Nah it could back in lick 1900 but a million dollars doesn't go nearly as far as it used to maybe a million euro or pounds that would go pretty far

Funny....then why is the millionaire class one of the highest for suicide rates? If you aren't happy before you get rich, you still wont know how to be happy. Ask John Belushi, Freddy Prince, Keith Ledger, John Denver....and on and on and on

Consider this question
Could money really give you everything?
Then read this i heard something about a group of really rich people what they had in common is they all committed suicide
money cannot buy love money cannot make you happy although many people think it can and then they go money hungry never having enough money thinking it will make them happy but it never does

No! Money can't buy happiness or love! Have you ever heard that from someone else? Maybe the Beatles? They were right to say (or sing) "Can't buy me love" because you can't. It just doesn't work! Money is one of the worst things for anyone because it causes greed and many more bad thoughts. Some people steal and some other people even kill to get money. $1,000,000 won't solve anyones problems.

Money cannot buy happiness and happiness should never be obtained through money. Although, a million dollars would change one’s life and it might make them temporarily happy, but what happens when the money runs out? What happens when you discover that material things do not make you happy? One should look for happiness from within themselves. People, material things, and money can only make you happy for a little while. I would love to have a million dollars, but it would not make me happy. I would invest it and use it to make more money. However, if I am not happy inside and with who I am, I will never be truly happy in life.
