Does money buy you happiness? Yes, of course...

It does buy you happiness PROVIDED you know what to buy.Does it buy you friendship? You bet it does.Ever heard about first impression counts? First 3 seconds of meeting anybody, before you even open your mouth - they size you up and you do the same. If they like what they see a door for friendship is opened. And what do you need to be presentable? ... yes, money.Does it buy you love? Sure does – First meeting with your future spouse is no different from the one above. The better presented you are, the better chance you have to being accepted. Let’s face it, nobody wants a financial liability in a form of a spouse unless their middle name is Sh** Hot. Do you want George Clooney? What kinda money've you got?! ... No Money No Honey, darl... Love however, needs more work beyond the friendship door. Figure this: what is it that creates love? IMHO, it is time and interesting activities to do together. There is no such thing as a boring person, person with no personality. As long as you have the time, do things that are of interest to your spouse, let them get you interested as well.. there you have it, a wonderful bond with each other and eventually LOVE. So if you want love, buy time and interesting activities to do together to create that special bond. The key is buying the right things that brings you love – presents do not necessarily do the trick, but buying time and interesting stuff to do, even if it happens to be shopping for presents, do. Does it buy you health? Of course it does… what do you need to get healthy? Good exercise regime, the right food in-take, etc. Hence, get your own private gym, a personal trainer, a nutritionist and fresh, quality food. Piece-a-cake… Alas, I can't afford all these .... Hence I jog around Sydney harbour (free gym) and cook my own food. Rather than eating fresh, but expensive, salmon and tuna, I take fish oil capsules everyday. These cheaper stuff are not as effective as the more expensive ones, but hopefully I won’t be too far behind. Ok, so what else do you need to be happy? Well, that’s the real question isn’t it. What is it that makes you happy – how do you define happiness? That's a bloody long thing to talk about, of which I currently have no apetite to. Money does buy happiness provided you know what to buy. Oh... and it also buys you misery. It is what what you buy not what you wish for ;)So what d'you think?
