Is it possible for rich people...?

Question

... to be unhappy with with lives too?

You can explain why, if you want.

Answer 1

yeah. you can have all the money in the world and people will only like you for your money.

Answer 2

yes.

money doesn't buy happiness.

Answer 3

Have you seen Britney Spears!!!

YES

Answer 4

Of course.  I know plenty of rich people that are miserable, lack confidence, are divorced, have even committ suicide.  Money doesn't buy happiness.

Answer 5

Yeah, but they don't give away money to feel better. Giving away money actually saves money, because a $6000 donation saves about $20,000 in taxes.

Answer 6

Yes.    MONEY DOES NOT BUY HAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DUH!

It can help.

Answer 7

Oh yes, because money cannot buy happiness. All the money in the world could not buy a single drop of happiness. And most of the time, 'rich people' are the most unhappy people because once they make money, they just want more and all they can focus on is making more money and they have no time for themselves and their lives suck. And they are really unhappy. Just because they got the money, and the camera is always on them doesnt mean they are happy.

Answer 8

I think so, someone I know for example, can't have kids, and you can't buy them

Answer 9

yes. because they have so much money the dont see the value of life. osthey just keep spending it and thinking money is my life...and rich people are usualy the snobs...

Answer 10

yes just like the first answer said money can't buy happiness...

You could have all the money in the world and still feel like you have nothing.

Answer 11

Yes, of course. Money can never buy you any happiness. It can however, get you access to services that people of lower socio-economic classes might not have easy access to.

I have had access to money and spending has made me more unhappy. It doesn't fill the void, even though you think it would.

Answer 12

yeah, it is possible for rich people to be unhappy, most are. Money isnt everything, what kind of question is this money doesnt determine your feelings

Answer 13

yes because even when they're rich they can't get everything they want to make themselves happy and satisfied.

Answer 14

I am sure that being rich doesn't make life better, if you don't know how to share, meaning seeing someone is hungry, feeding them, needing and just walking past as though they don't exist. I think that you must have a loving heart, or you will be miserable no matter how much you have. Some of the poorest people I have met in life are the happiest, because they respect what they do have.

Answer 15

Of course. Imagine being the spouse of a person who works long hours and doesn't have time for you, yet brings home the paycheck, gives you money for whatever and expects everything to be peaches and cream. If I were in the position I know I would be unhappy. Or if you were in a relationship with someone you once loved, but they've grown to be all about moeny and expect you to do the same. You still love them, but can't live with their attitude and want a divorce, but you know they have a prenupt and you won't be happy either way.

Answer 16

yes they can because they dont have time to spend with their loved ones if their always at work

Answer 17

With their richness?

well i am very sure most friends are there for the parties money free stuff not many real friend.....

and at night they are alone and sad.....

kind like may artists who are surrounded by people all day but at night they are alone and feeling sad and lonely

money does not buy happiness or love

besides rich people are always thinking about their money on how not to make more and more and going crazy on the idea if they ever loose it.......

poor people are happier!!!!!!

Answer 18

They might be unhappy with their lives because they are always worried that someone might steal their money

Answer 19

YES,MONEY ISNT EVETHING!!!LOL

Answer 20

RICH FOLKS have the material things and they are mostly stuck in a perpetual belief that folks that do not have any money or little money are jelious of them.  That's number one.  No 2 they are in constant search for the things that once made them happy when they were younger only to find out that while it's true that they purchased the things that they once could not afford - they can not turn back the clock.  And lastly and my favorite :

Women who marry into money take on a aire that they are better than folks who were not as lucky as them to marry into money.  The person becomes  to what seems to be an overnight transformation first she developes an English accent then she believes that she is the smartest person in the world. --

Answer 21

Why not?

Money can't buy everything... especially with some of these Yahoo Answerers I've seen bashing rich people all the time (Maybe they've been disillusioned by a couple selfish ones, but I'm sure not all rich people are that nasty). I know I'd be unhappy with my life if everywhere I went, people told me how selfish I was and how I should donate all my money to charities.

Answer 22

No, they are all completely happy all the time, and have absolutely no problems. Money is the only thing that matters in the world.

Answer 23

Yes. When you have money, you buy things, and when you get something you want something else. The things you buy only make you happy for so long. It isn't money that makes you happy for life.

Answer 24

Haha ofcourse. Look at the number of celebrity/rich people's deaths. I don't think that money can buy happiness, or not longterm happiness anyway!

Answer 25

Of course not! Prosperity = instant happiness!

Answer 26

Yes.  They're probably bored after a while.

Answer 27

yes because u can be rich but still have problems

Answer 28

Everyone is looking for a love and happiness. I mean, that they are unhappy, because women/men loved only her/his money.

Answer 29

Yes.  What would make you think that money would people happy?  Money is not what makes people happy, it is not the trappings that people happy either.  It is the life that they live that makes them happy.  Money does make them happy.

Trust me, I'll be the first one to tell you that.  Here's my favorite saying....

"Wealth is of the heart and mind.  Not of the pocket."

Answer 30

YES.

no doubt about it.
