Would you say something encouraging? Some advice? The lottery numbers?

That depends on how you define your own happiness though Egg. For you Id imagine its to do with material goods but Im sure some people dont agree with you about that. Dont get me wrong, money certainly helps the situation by quite a bit bit it wont "buy happiness" for many people.

Money removes all worries, which leaves only the pursuit of happiness.
Therefore money buys happiness.

It can buy you sex and drugs and maybe even rock and roll but it tends to come up short on the happiness stakes. Research has shown that , once you gain a certain level of wealth more doesnt mean being any happier.

If you honestly believe that money removes all worries then you really arent exploring the premise properly. Off the top of my head I can think of at least five things that are entirely unrelated to money and wealth and have a lot to do with happiness.

Yes and would removing all the money related worries make fulfilling those other things easier ?

No, from my own point of view of course. A lot of this is subjective and based on your own point of view and could quite possibly be very personal so its not my place to pry onto exactly what you consider essential for happiness but as I stated I can think of a number of things that are in every way unrelated to money, lack of money, or not having to worry about earning a living; having a lot of it and no financial worries in no way makes them easier to achieve.

Well its each to their own. If you had all the money you needed, wouldnt you be to busy enjoying yourself to even wonder about happiness?
I know Id be perfectly happy eating at the best restraunts, drinking at the most exclusive bars, going for a gamble in vegas, sailing my boat & flying my plane around the world...
and if I got the energy, boning the all them supermodels.
I certainly dont see happiness in settling down with someone & having a few puppies. No time to do anything else, infact that would make me unhappy.
-
Im afraid Ive got to agree with egg... in principal anyway - not bothered about living the high life...
I honestly dont really care about money... I just also realise its much easier not to care about money if youre minted..... ?

Im going to be one of them :D
Hope to start my flying lessons in a few months. £3k for the 45 hours
-
seems to be deadly expensive to get into it - he flies the Jumbos - very few of those pilots about apparently,
Absolutely rakes it in - and hes only 32. He became a captain last year
Does a load of private charter work too. Gets us the odd cheap flight, and has a customs free box.

bargain :D
You can do a full comerical airline pilot course for £50k, Wages aint brilliant though to start off.
Obviously the best route in, is by being a former RAF pilot or somthing.
What do they say? the bigger they are, the easier they are to fly.

He classes himself as a glorified bus driver.
His dad was a pilot for BA and put him through all the training - lucky sod.

I dont think I could be a pilot & in a relationship.. Id be chasing skirt whenever possible.
-
My sis and her partner dont like it when I call them glorified bus drivers. But its true.
Seems like they hardly work too, as if theyre not off, theyre on standby. I think shes (un)lucky if she gets to fly 4 days a week haha.
Worst thing ever is when you get two pilots in a room together. Even though they take the piss out of the plane spotters, they just dont shut up about flying!

Threaten GBH and claim it would be regarded as reasonable by a judge. Really though they do it to urinate on everyone else.
