Today is very important for people have a lot of money because they are essential in everyday life, infact I think that it is necessary to do a job where you earn enough. Having a lot of money also makes a person happy, because the latter can buy what he wants, and they are also important when there are some problems like health problems or of family problems where you need a lot of money ]]> 2018-05-08 06:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258794401 Vincenzo Monda https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258794565 Today, many people think that an huge amount of money can make you happy. I think this is not totally true, becouse money can't represent happiness at all. It's true that being happy allows you to buy everything you want, for you or for others, but what you can buy are only material objects, that usually are not enough for the happiness. Indeed sometimes, to be able to earn an huge amount of money you need to become nearly a machine, without emotions and consumed by greed. When this happens, people and familiar tend to avoid you and leave you alone.
Indeed, according to science what makes us happy is only human relationship, and for this aim money are very usefull, but only if money don't make you greedy asnd you keep your altruistic nature (if you have).

The society is based on money and therefore without money you can't do much but not even having a lot of money you can't buy some things. But it isn't important how you spend it and it is here that you understand that money is positive or negative . Money doesn't have life , so it's not bad or good , but you understand it based on the person who uses it . This money can lead you to depression . Too much stress doesn't let you rest and spend more time on yourself and this depression can't all pass through it .

A person is happy when he has fulfilled his wishes. We are even more pleased if we received something thanks to our work. It is true that when we receive money we are happy, because we can buy something we care about. But after a while we are not happy, because we don't achieve this with fatigue. This is also affirmed in the Easterlin Paradox.
" The paradox of Easterlin, also called the paradox of happiness, was formulated in 1974 by Richard Easterlin, professor of economics at the University of California, member of the National Academy of Sciences.

According to Easterlin, people's true happiness depends very little on changes in income and wealth. The Easterlin paradox is very simple to explain. The economics expert noted that when income and economic prosperity increase, human happiness increases, but only up to a certain point, and then begins to decrease following an inverted U-curve. "
The second factor is "leisure time". This factor connects to the first one. Rich people pay paople to do something in their place. This often creates loneliness because you have nothing to do. Often the paid person also can hurts the work assigned to him, creating problems and wasted of time. Even if the work is correct, often you are not satisfied because something done alone is more satisfying than something done by another

Is money essential to be happy? https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258795563 The question we all ask ourselves is: do money make happiness?

Well, it must be said that today money has a foundamental importance in our society...
indeed it's difficult to have a good lifestyle in absence of money.

According to some studies Aristotle was the first to argue that money does not make happiness, he discussed : "wealth does not produce happiness".

Even Adam Smith, considered the founder of modern political economy, with the opposite paradox underlines how "the son of the poor works day and night to acquire talents superior to his competitors" driven by the decepton that the rich man is happier or has "greater means for happiness". In reality the rich man can consume little more than the poor, who has less worries and better social relations than the rich, who continually lives in anxiety for his goods, and grows only old and disappointed for not having achieved happiness and also envied by his fellow citizens.

Although many think that it is not wealth that makes happiness, there are many people who think it is different.

The money and the "wealth" allow us to do a lot of things, starting from primary goods, like buying food or an house and many other important things.
However, it is different to say that money is important to say that they are indispensable for our happiness!
So, at this point, the main question is: "How does the link between money and happiness seem to be very real?"

We must know that

there are two components that contribute to our well-being:
a kind of evaluative happiness, that is "the feeling that one's life is good: you are satisfied,
and emotional happiness, which measures the frequency with which the individual experiences positive emotions as joy, serenity, happiness.

Income is therefore, in some way, associated with well-being and well-being with happiness. In fact, according to me it depends on this, because there are people who prefer to spend their money on the purchase of material goods rather than experiences such as travel or concerts, as these are considered tangible and more enduring.

The relationship between wealth and happiness would seem to be negative ... more income brings more health, education, opportunities, but in advanced countries the higher income is associated with a super job that has, in some cases, negative effects on the person and less time for the relationships with others and for friendship.

Useful wealth is what is needed to satisfy basic needs, to be able to lead a dignified life. So far we are sure that wealth contributes to well-being.

It is easy to think that wealth automatically produces happiness. In everyday life, however, we happen to know many people of fair economic conditions who find happiness in the truest things in life: in the affection of the family, in knowing how to be content with what one has, in friendship, in facing the dignified beautiful and ugly moments of everyday life.

When a person, to accumulate money, becomes stingy and his life is dry because he is not interested in everything around him. Accumulating money becomes the sole purpose of one's existence. Instead, many humble people, with their dignified behavior, their ideas and their power of sacrifice believe in the true values of life to build a better society.

So, in my opinion, wealth makes happiness when it allows us to overcome the difficulties of every day with serenity, and especially when we are willing to help others.

Many studies say that money make happiness, not only because they are essential, but also because if you optimize the spends, you can live happy.
In fact with money you can do some activities and find new friends, furthermore you can spend your money to help other people, or to stay with other people in a local for example
In the end, a resarch, make by a university in England, show that you can use money to "buy" time paying some people that help you in some situations like cleaning, so you can spend more time for the activites that you like. ]]> 2018-05-08 06:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258795620 A tool that we can use AntonioMelchionna https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258795847 I think that money is simply a tool that we can use, that may or may not allow us to achieve happiness. I think a lot of it depends on what you spend your money on.
Therefore, money can be your access to things that can lead to happiness, but not necessarily make you happy just by having money physically in your hand, on the internet, or in your credit card. I also think that there are two things in life that it is difficult to buy with money,the other things are trivial and you can easely buy them, the time and health, if you have a lot of money but you have an illness independentely from the number of your money you will not be happy]]> 2018-05-08 06:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258795847 Maciariello Annaclelia https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258796374 In psychology, happiness is that set of emotions and sensations of the body that provide well-being and joy in a more o less long moment of life.
As human beings, we always tend to desire what we do not have and find a solution to all our problems.
So money makes happiness when they allows us to overcome the difficulties of life in a better way and especially when we use them to help other people.]]> 2018-05-08 06:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258796374 Antonio Temperato https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258797003 Some people think that money makes you happy, while others are rich, even if they live economically in a moderate way, with the most important things of life, that are the affection of the family, friendship, face the beautiful and bade moments and, despite the various difficulties, always be happy. For example, when a person wants to make a lot of money, he becomes stingy because he is no longer interested in the things that surround him, this because his objective is to accumulate money; while humble people, with their ideas and the force of sacrifice believe in the values of life. Wealth makes happiness when it makes us overcome the difficulties of every day, with serenity and willngness to help others; only in this case wealth makes you happy. Happiness is also talking to friends on the phone and spending the best moments with them, spending time with family on holidays, in short it is the set of all those things that help us to become better people.]]> 2018-05-08 06:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/patrusso_ce/money_happiness/wish/258797003 MONEY MAKE YOU HAPPY?

For me, money is a material asset, but not for this reason can make me happy. Of course, if I were millionare, I could buy the house I want so much, a new car, travel and much more, but where would it be happiness ?
For me happiness is when I spend time with my family, when I laugh and joke with my friends and when I have new experiences. But not everyone thinks the same way.
Indeed, economist Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolofers in a study publshed in the National Bureau of Economic Research, say that '' We have discovered very clear proofs that in all the nations of the world the rich are happier than the poor.

The british weekly publication "New Scientist" reveals that the reason for happiness are different.
A person can be very happy even if he has little money; the english magazine drawn up a list on the most happy countries of the world and the first is Nigeria, followed by Mexico and Venezuela.

Many studies say that money don't make the happiness, on the contrary they can provoke anxiety and worries; in fact it is dangerous to have much money a home and you can become stressed if you have the responsibility to use this money in a wise way.
Unlike what you think, with money you can't buy all and the happiness caused by the purchase of things goes on for a short time.

One factor that supports my thesis " money does not make happiness" is friendship. Rich people tend to be presumptuos because they have more money than others. this makes them alone, without friends. To put right, they start paying people to stay with them. These are unfaithful friends, who live close to rich people just for money. Friendship is one of the few things that can not bought.

I think that this is partially true, because whit money you can buy every material concept that you want, but you can't buy every think. Something, like "love" or "friendship" haven't got any prices. If you are looking for these two think, you can't trust on money, but only on yourself and on your personality. Of course if you have money you haven't any care.

In my opinion money can indirectly contribute to happiness because it allows you to have a better life and plenty of choices, but they are not what absolutely matters to be happy.

Money can be used ad a tool to help you be happy. The feelings can not be bought with money, however it can have a positive influence in the life of the person if they are used in a good way.

However, does having the stuff you can buy with money guarantee fulfillment? Can money buy happiness?

“It seems natural to assume that rich people will be happier than others,” write psychologists Ed Diener and Robert Biswas-Diener in Happiness. “But money is only one part of psychological wealth, so the picture is complicated.”

They say: “Rich people and nations are happier than their poor counterparts” " However if you have clothes to wear, food to eat, and a roof over your head, increased disposable income has just a small influence on your sense of well-being."

Therefore, what determines happiness?

That is how Roy Geer, joined by the Doctor Sonia Lyubomirsky, answered.

· The 40% of our happiness comes from Intentional Activity. It means how we think and what we do.
· The 10% comes from our circumstances. For example, how much money we make.
· 50% of the source of happiness is “The Set Point”, it means our genetics.

The Fulfilment Curve, drawn in the book "Your Money or Your Life" written by Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin, is divided into four parts.

· Survival: a little money can bring to you happiness.

. Comforts: things like the second pair of jeans make you happy. However, not as the items needed for your survival needs do.

. Luxuries: things like getting a whole new wardrobe are luxuries. These push you to the peak of the curve.

. Overconsumption: stuff is taking control of your life. Your house may be full of it. However, none of this can make you happier.

Nowadays more and more people say that the famous phrase "Money does not buy happiness" is false! And numerous studies done by psychologists and scientists seem to confirm this.

"We have discovered very clear evidence that in all the nations of the world the rich are happier than the poor. And the population of the richest nations is happier than that of the poorest nations ". The economists Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers say in a study published in the National Bureau of Economic Research.

To make people happy is not so much the money, but how you spend it! Ryan Howell, a professor of psychology at San Francisco State University, found that, contrary to expectations, people think that buying material goods is better than buying life experiences like concerts and travels.

Actually "The experiences of life meet a larger part of our psychological needs" Thomas Gilovich, a psychologist at Cornell University, says "We often share them with others, which gives us a broader sense of connection, and form our identity. If you have climbed the Himalayas, you will surely have something to remember and talk about forever. Even long after your gadgets have gone to landfill. "

Moreover another important point in the analysis of the link between money and happiness concerns a variable whose price is often not quantifiable: the time. If you want to be happy, recommends Elizabeth Dunn, an associate professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia, "Use the money to buy your time better. Do not buy a more luxurious car to have heated seats during your two-hour day trip to work. Buy a house closer to work so you can use that extra light to play in the park with your children. "

In conclusion, to be happy it is not important to have the latest fashionable phone or a super-equipped car because the felicity of these material things will vanish, but it is important to know how to use the money to achieve your goals and to live a fulfilled life with your loved ones.

There is nothing in its nature that can produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a void, he creates one. "

Benjamin Franklin

The problem is that today's society judges a person on the amount of money it has. However, it is not said that rich countries with a well-off population from an economic point of view are really happy! Money does not make happiness but money has become the centre of everything, desired, coveted, purported. In general, the more things you have, the more things you want. It is an infinite vicious circle, as in the myth of Sisyphus.

There are many examples of rich and unhappy people. Individuals who come to commit suicide because they realize they do not know if those around them are really their friends or are just customers looking for favours. They do not know if they are loved or simply exploited to obtain benefits. When you subordinate everything to wealth, as often happens, you end up becoming a "product", a "thing". You begin to see everything in terms of economic benefits and to treat others as if they were merchandise but while you accumulate goods, you will become empty in other aspects of life, you will remain alone with your money.
So are you sure money can make you happy?

When you think only of money and material goods, you do not even have time to enjoy what you have. We forget that most of the most important things in life are free and are within us, they have nothing to do with possessions and material goods. Loving and being loved are priceless!

Obviously, money by itself is not a bad thing; what can be harmful is the use made of it. Because money is necessary to live, but not for this we must renounce our essence or what we would like to be. In fact, wealth is within you and not what you own. They can take everything from you, but they can never take away what you are. If you are more than the money you own, you can always start over.

According to researchers at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, there is no amount of money in the world able to buy happiness. The New Zealand researchers, who conducted a study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the journal of the American Psychological Association, say that

"the true key to happiness, serenity and wellbeing, personal and social, is freedom , the possibility of choosing every aspect of one's existence in complete autonomy, without conditioning or imposition."

At the end Oscar Wilde wrote

"Happiness is not having what you want, but desiring what you have"

and if we stop for a moment to think about it, it's really true!

However only partly, the happiness given by money is temporary. To buy a new thing makes you seemingly happy, but all this will vanish soon.

So what makes us really happy?

In 1938, Harvard University in the United States began a research called "Study on Adult Development". The main objective of the researchers was to determine what makes us really happy. The study continues to this day and is, in fact, one of the most complete that exist on this subject.

The thing that makes us happier is the quality of our relationships!

"We have found that the brains and bodies of the people most satisfied with their relationships, and that establish a stronger connection with others, are maintained in a better state of health and for longer," Waldinger said.

Many people to the question "what would make you happy?" they answer that fame and money are important, they believe that if they were richer or more famous, they would have more value in the eyes of others, which is false. It is true that fame and money increase popularity, but often those new relationships are not authentic, they are not based on a genuine estimate. Many people are close to those who are rich and famous only for the benefits they can get, but not because they feel a sincere affection towards them. To build quality bonds, we must be generous, good, patient and empathetic. In life, the problem is not finding "special people" with whom to make wonderful bonds. The real problem is being able to be ourselves in our relationships.

At the end I think that everyone, after all, want to be loved. This is the thing that makes us happier. It does not matter how much money you have on your bank account, or how expensive your car is. What really matters are things that cannot be bought, true happiness can be achieved with the people you love, with your family and not with your new phone!

Today, unfortunately, our society has undergone many changes, transforming itself, and developing more and more materialistic interests, particularly in the ever greater value that over time have taken the money.

Over time, the idea has spread that money makes happiness; but this concept is wrong because it has its pros and cons.

It's true, with the money you can buy villas, cars, watches and many objects of great value, but are we really sure that these objects can make a person happy?

Some people say that with money you can buy everything, even time. This could be true, because rich people can pay others to do their jobs, and in particular pay other people to control their children.

But does this really represent a benefit of wealth?

I do not think so, as doing so would end up bored, but above all to lose the relationship with people in particular with children who are often entrusted to baby setters and almost never see their parents

So I believe that happiness is not given by the amount of money available, but by feelings and values.

No man will be rich enough to buy the love of a child or the friendship of a friend
