It was proposed to me once by a professor of sociology that money, in function - does in a way lead to happiness.

Take any situation you are in, love, church, work, friends, house, vacations, marriage, children, families --- whatever it may be..

Add more money to that situation - does it 'seem' better?

In the fourth dimension - I think money matters little, the foundation of happiness is not found in the dollar (or pound or euro) - but in the reality of day to day life - who can say that it wouldn't be better if they had a lot more money.

I could go visit all my friends home groups - travel to all the conventions, help more people who can't help themselves.

Like I said - money is not a requirment for happiness, but it sure doesn't hurt to have more.

So no - it's not the root of all evil, nor the root of happiness. I paid back some financial things that I probably didn't have to (in particular a ticket that was over 10 years old ad the court could not even find a record of it anymore - had been written off. I found the original because I keep everything- and gave it to them with the cash to cover it..), but I got free from it - that was great and the money isn't missed..


Tks Tom - good topic.
