Does money buy happiness? To answer this question, simply ask yourself the following questions.
1. Does it make me happy to worry about how to pay next month's mortgage, auto insurance, utility bills, car payment, or worse yet - last month's mortgage and last month's bills?
2. Does it make me happy to fight with my spouse over financial problems?
3. Does it make me happy that I am forced to take it in the ass by an abusive boss just to hang on to a job (when jobs are hard to come by nowdays - especially for a middle aged RN) where I am under paid and under appreciated?
4. Does it make me happy that I have no time to enjoy life (vacationing, hobbies, spending time with grandkids, writing that book I've always dreamed about) due to work obligations?
5. Does it make me happy to know that I will be forced to live under the federal poverty level after my "retirement" because I barely earn enough money now to meet my family's current needs?
6. Does it make me happy to know that I will have to work well into my 70's before I could even think about retiring?
7. Does it make me happy to know I have no monetary inheritance to pass on to my loved ones after I die (my life insurance will barely pay for my cremation, and I can't afford to buy more)?
8. Does it make me happy that I can't afford to make a business loan to my hard working daughter who is a single mother of 3, so she can open the day spa she has always dreamed about?
9. Does it make me happy that I can't afford a nice wedding for my daughters, or even a decent wedding?
10. Does it make me happy that I was unable to contribute toward my children's college education (pell grants alone don't quite make it and my children were forced to take student loans which they still owe)?
11. Does it make me happy that I can't co-sign an auto loan for one of my adult children because my own credit scores do not qualify?
12. Does it make me happy to know that my precious grandchildren are forced to attend inferior and barely affordable childcare so their parent's can work (2 yr waiting list for state funds), and there is not a <snip> thing I can do to help them?
BTW, in case any of you are wondering, I am no different than the average person; I have made some good decisions during my life; I have made some bad decisions during my life; we do not piss money away; in fact, we are frugal in many ways. With the economy the way it is today the hardships my husband and I have encountered are the reality of a middle-aged couple. I am a registered nurse and my husband draws SSDI.
I don't know about you, but I am fairly certain that a lottery jackpot would make me a very happy woman!
