I have never had a lot of money or material possessions so I don't really know what I am missing. But I always say that
I wouldn't mind having a day or two to see what it is like.

No, because like they say, money can't buy happiness. I would rather be happy in a loving relationship with my family, than being rich and every single family member or friends go their own separate ways because they are miserable with their lives! Been there, done that! lol  :-[

I could handle being depressed better if i had a fancy house in Malibu California,and drive a Ferrari, than being depressed, while living in a little trailor and driving a rusted old station wagon! Life is ruff for both rich and poor!

I'd have to say no because it would take more and more to satisfy them.

Being rich helps of course but it doesn't bring you longterm happiness.

I like what Zig Ziglar says, "Money isn't everything in life, but it ranks right up there with Oxygen".

Being rich financially is great for a few things like being able to afford what you want, no worry of hunger and being able to help others. I would not be mad to be in that situation.  :angel11: :cat:  :fish:

No, its only a substitute.
Especially if you do not have what you want.
I 've got plenty of material things that ease pain and boredom, but nothing brings back the dead mate and friends.
I can't speak for those who have only known material wealth, but I have to say that from my point of view, it is only a small solace.

I could not tell you that because I am the total opposite of being rich, but, looking at it logically, I don't think so. Yes, being rich you can buy whatever you want, but it does not change anything else like your health. Also, people with more money tend to live much like we do and have the same problems we do with bills and all. They just have more, so they spend more.
