Question

Is it better to pursue wealth or happiness?

Answer 1

I would love to say both, but if i had to choose, i think i would rather be a happy person than a rich miserable person. Money cant buy you love either...

Answer 2

Happiness, without a doubt.  I've always found that if you pursue what you love, somehow things work out, including money.

If you pursue money, happiness is always expected to come with the next buck... Or maybe the next one... Or maybe...

Well happiness is better than mere wealth.

wealth without happiness is of no use.

Peace is what  we want.

Answer 4

my answer is;

That would depend on the persons Heart.

If one wants a Life. Then wealth takes a back seat to Happiness, aka Love in ones life.

Happiness no doubt, you can be wealthy and miserable. Money brings you 50% of what you need but not necessarily it makes you happy. Wealthy people live in fear,  worries, social and family problems.

Pursuit your happiness, follow your dreams , change your attitude.

Answer 10

The problem with $$$ and stuff is people always want more. Have you ever met anyone who EVER has ENOUGH money and doesn't want any more at all? $$$ and stuff can be lost or stolen, and you can't take it with you when you croak.  

Instead, your true treasure is where your love, joy, hopes and dreams are. Those things can't be lost, stolen, devalued, and they'll live on after you die.  

Answer 11

You can not pursue both. Wealth has to be earned and happiness can not be bought from a super market. It is better to give importance to peace of mind than spending time after earning more and more. Once you get addicted to money making, your life will become miserable. It is the case of many multi millionaires.

Answer 12

I have to go with wealth because these days you can't do anything without money. Wealth can bring happiness if spent wisely.  A life with no money can only result in utter misery in my opinion.

Hope you have a good day ;-)  your friend soupie x
