  3. Money can't make you happy but I think it can buy some comforts in life.

  4. I am so sorry that I was wrong.
    My apologies.

    I thought that teachers teach because they love to make kids smarter
    and not because they have no other way to pay their grocery bills.

    My sincerey apologies for having offended a pragmatic mercenary.
    I guess I was too idealistic.

    I wish you success in trading because the sooner you become successful in trading the better it will be for your students (and for you).
    :D

  6. Being able to give money away (not in the market) makes me happy.

  8. there is a zillionaire HF trader / manager who
    would rather have his family be healthy than
    the millions he is giving away to fund research
    to find a cure for the disease that has struck
    one of his kids.

    I know there are others too who have been blessed with all the worldly goods , material things
    and yet feel like they have little compared to the
    good health and longevity of some of their
    poorer cousins and people in their communities

    I try to do some good deed everyday ... its priceless

    :)

    what is happiness? is it having absolutely no problems - being healthy, rich and loved etc.?

    money does not make you happy - this is what they keep telling you. well - money ALONE does not make you happy - if you have everything you need for being happy - EXCEPT money- then a little (or a lot of) money could make you perfectly happy maybe. what it comes down to is whether you know how it feels to live WITHOUT money - if you ever experienced such a feeling and overcame it - money def. can make you happy. i don't know if you could be perfectly happy if you are 100% healthy but poor and lonely - so you could also say healthiness does not make you happy ...

    even if i was incurably sick - i'd prefer to be sick and rich than sick and poor. money alone does not make you happy but if you arrive at a point were you probably have enough money for the rest of your live then this might also be a good basis to solve all your other problems or at least some of them. and if you maybe own MUCH more money then you ever need - than you can do something for the poor in this world - maybe this will make you happy.

    but hey - i personally don't know anyone who is really happy - life one the long run isn't really about happiness - it's about being healthy - and then you need money to survive - that's it. and if you have a little more money - maybe you are healthy AND free - it couldn't get much better.
