Gene Simmons said it best. Money doesn’t make you happy, but when you’re rich you don’t have to worry about money anymore and that makes you happier. He’s right. I’m happier than the guy who’s popping antacids because he can’t figure out how he’s going to pay the utility bill and still buy groceries. Somewhere there is a guy close by who’s happier than I am, because he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that his nest egg could last him ten retirements and mine isn’t so rosey that I don’t worry about it. Money might not make you happy, but enough money to be free of financial worry sure goes a long way.
Right. And, it is the love of money that is the culprit - not money itself. If there is no love in a home with money there is no real happiness. The right mind set is key.
