  I would hope that I would have all or none!  IF it came down to none, I would choose happiness (H).  'cause my kinda happiness would grant me all three!!!

  Money can provide almost anything in the right hands. In fact infinite financial freedom would allow me to be more happy than I ever have been to date. Sure money is not everything, but it sure can not hurt if you know how to utilize it to make your life very comfortable. It is merely tool, and a stepping stone to happiness...but not necessarily a prerequisite.

  Money is money.  It is nothing more.  YOU will be happier, or not, with or without it.  My best friends are just above the poverty level, and I know of no one happier - or more in love.  They ran away and married at 16, now in their late 60's, they are the people commercials are made of.

  Having said that, I will improve their lifestyle a million-fold - when I win tonight!

  You've got a good point there; BUT it might be the family and the health that making you need the money.  And Emily, some families are just 'family' due to a biological phenonemon.

  However without money none of us would exist. Someone has to pay for the food, shelter, and other life necessities. Whether it be us, or someone else. So having a huge sum of money cannot hurt any, and in fact would actually create more opportunities at better health, providing the person with the money has the intelligence to make the right decisions.

  Spirituality goes a long way, but in the corporate world even it has it's limitations. The secret is finding the most productive, and least strenuous ways to come up with the money needed. This also is conducent of great health.

  It's not the money that causes happiness; only the freedom associated with winning a Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot does. :-)

  When I claim the MM money in the morning.  I  promise to cry all the way to the bank.  I promise to not smile and will use a whole box of Kleenex during the press conference.  I will use up the whole box of tissue you see in the back windows of limo's.  I will not let money cause me any happiness!  I promise!  Honest Injun!
