We've all heard the old saw, "money can't buy happiness." Well, why not? What makes most people happy? A new car? Fancy clothes? A big, beautiful house? A trip around the world? If money can buy all of those and more, why wouldn't someone be happy with a bunch of money?
Wondering where next month's rent or utilities are coming from is usually enough to start an ulcer in most people, let alone something like the worry of being hospitalized for a month without insurance. The national level of unemployment has started many people worrying about the simple necessities of life; forget how to get that diamond necklace for your wife or that new shotgun for your husband. Everyday items that were always taken for granted have now become reason for fear. What will you do about that?
Another thing we've all heard is that "worrying about something won't change it." Perhaps not, but that is meaningless to the mind of one who is buried in the depths of despair, wondering where the money will come from to get out of a situation. Life can be a real bitch sometimes, and money can relieve that despair once in a while. So, is money the panacea for all problems? No.
Sure, money is a cure-all for satisfying your wants and desires, but it can't bring health or happiness. It can't prevent a heart attack or cure your cancer, nor can it bring your loved one back from the dead. It can get that Porsche, if that makes you happy, but how shallow or superficial is that? A broken leg from an accident will hurt just as much, rich or poor. You can get plastic surgery to fix your ugly mug, but no amount of money can change your attitude towards life caused by thirty years of being disgusting enough to stop a clock.
Do you think that being a millionaire would solve all your problems?

"Do you think that being a millionaire would solve all your problems?"
Yes.
Wait....I have no problems.
Except that I lie.

+1 filename. What you have is mistaken truth.
The saying is not "Money is the root of all evil", it's "The love of money is the root of all evil". But your filename is still true, since in reality it is the game Monopoly that is the root of all evil.

Money sucks, but you need it, so what can you really do? And having a bunch of it would do little to make you happy. Raising a standard of living does not necessarily make one truly happy.
Funny how you posted this directly after my post also posing thought-provoking questions. Are you making fun of me? :(
kidding, of course

I'm sure having lots of money is great when you're caught with your pants down, masturbating in the bushes outside of your local elementary school, pederast
