Well hit the poll....

Cause seemingly I am the only one who thinks that money brings happiness.

pease delete, forgot to hit polllll:o

Money can't buy happiness, but poverty can't buy anything.

Yes. Winning the lotto would make me extremely happy.

kelle · 30-06-2008 10:59PM

Of course it would!

Holsten · 30-06-2008 10:59PM

What poll?

And without question it would bring me untold levels of happiness.

You'd be set for life.

chickenhawk · 30-06-2008 10:59PM

yes.

brianthebard · 30-06-2008 11:01PM

Yep be real happy.

mike65 · 30-06-2008 11:01PM

Only if it was between 2 and 5 millon anymore and I'd end up drowning in notes.

yes being a tradesman ant the way things are gone with the celtic tiger a lotto win would make me very very happy

Winning the Lotto in and of itself wouldn't make me happy, but it would sure
(a) allow me to eliminate several causes of unhappiness in my life, and
(b) create opportunities for fun / happiness.

Thrill · 30-06-2008 11:05PM

In a word.......it most certainly would make me happy if I won the lotto cause then I'd be rich and wouldn't have to worry about bills and food and so on.

Poll added.

I'd like to win because then I could fund some of my larger plans for world domination.
But I don't need money to be happy.

And if i did win it I would never tell another living soul....to avoid messiness.

30-06-2008 11:08PM

It would certainly enable one to buy away sadness....

Pj! · 30-06-2008 11:10PM

It would definitely make me happy. But have no idea how long it would last.

We're not supposed to talk about the plan in public.

lol how could you hide a lotto win? Only way I see you getting away with that one is faking your own death and never see your family and friends again. The new house and car might give it away

TripleAce · 30-06-2008 11:17PM

Yes it probably would, but I am very happy with my life anyway so I don't think it would change much, apart from a lot more traveling

Also 1M would be more than enough....no need for 10-15M.

As if I'd let you in on my despotic aspirations. :rolleyes:

keen · 30-06-2008 11:19PM

Defo, no question about it, it would buy my happiness.

sugar love · 30-06-2008 11:23PM

after reading about face lifts in the sunday papers think i keep my millions if i won for traveling. i may share some with my family, but i would never buy another lotto ticket again.

And you still think they're your despotic aspirations :rolleyes:.
You are but a pawn in a larger game.

Steve · 30-06-2008 11:29PM

I'd be happier if I won it than if I didn't win it, simple really.

Loopy · 30-06-2008 11:37PM

I dont think money brings happiness, I have seen it destroy families who were perfectly happy beforehand..

I would like to have enough money to live comfortably / not have to work and not have to worry about bills etc..

zuutroy · 30-06-2008 11:44PM

No chance...happiness from buying stuff and having money is obv shortlived. The mind has a way of making new problems. The striving to survive and the routine that comes with it are very important to mentle health, and if all of that is taken away suddenly you could go nutso very quickly. Buying stuff is over-rated imo.
EDIT: I bet there's a big division in age between the yes crew and no crew

Very Happy

It would be a good start

Dave! · 01-07-2008 12:02AM

eh yes... I don't believe in that "money doesn't buy happiness" crap. Of course it does. If you're rich you can choose to be poor; if you're poor you can't choose to be rich. 'Nuf said.
