does earning more have any relation to your happiness ?

say a single, within 20s guy 10k per month

vs

another guy, same age same everything except 5k per month

vs

another crone with 15k per month

is there any huge different in term of happiness ?

put the branded materialism issues aside, like guy who drive camry is happier than who drive vious.

what I see the saturated earning is 8 to 10k ...more than that = more than enough, which means the happiness is not directly proportional

opinion please. or motivation please

Do what u like and ppl pay u 5 figures. Truly happy

Can't say if money directly related to happiness

I earn enough to support all my expenses and save some aside. Don't know if more money would make me much happier

No, cos sure got ppl like that but inside is black heart, like the person below, can only LCLY.

no, i always wanted more and more, never satisfied

happiness is a choice. you can choose to pursue it, or choose to live it.

i stating earn 1.7k , if i were to earn 3k also can , alot of cover and shift and OT.

i tak boleh tahan , i tak mau ,

i rasa time more worth.....

everytime in company i wont stayback / OT
that y i poor now

it's not a choice, look at starving childrens in africa, are they happy, can they choose to be happy?

lol

i am not discussing blown up frog/racist ...at 1st look i think that guy got something on indian

and just want to appear as rich guy ..but who doesnt want to appear rich ?
unless everyone knew u are rich lol



i am more interest in lifestyle vs happiness thing ..

lifestyle isnt about the more expensive the better.

just like eating rm 3 nasi lemak on roadside vs rm 30 in air cond restaurant

in the end, the satisfaction isnt directly proportional
eating in air cond restaurant isnt much different eating on roadside

If you don't know how to spend money, just keep earning and be stingy.. of course cannot be happy la..

not having to worry about money is very nice.

i'm also easily satisfied, a new high end pc every 2 years, plenty of gadgets in between and a few books purchases for my programmer endeavour and i'm a happy man. that means even after settling my monthly responsibilities (homes/cars instalments, duit kasi papamama, feeding my walking vagina and her beauty habits, bills, etc) and i still have plenty. not a car or bike person too, that kinda lets me save alot.

if i'm ever pinched for money (family masuk hospital, emergency, etc) i can dig into my reserves and won't have to beg friends and family for anything.

if you're the kind to living it up i guess rm10-20k isn't that much. imagine all the people you have to please on facebook by taking pictures of yourself visiting european countries every 2 months.

Living cheap also helps, I don't even have a car

i don't have one either 2 years ago, only an ancient second hand nissan vanette for my work. but then i need to get big nenen amoi so i have to buy a car.

I was happy when I drew my very first salary of RM420 back in April 1984! I celebrated by going straight to McD at Jalan TAR!!! The good old days.....sigh!

happy more if no tax..

Nah. You definitely bought weed with that money.

I work from home, so having a car for me isn't that important

when u start reaching rm10k it will become never enough

can. if they accept Christ as their savior. oh wai...

my cousin used to have arguments with her then boyfriend about not having a car/driving license.

"if your kids are sick next time what are you going to do? hope the taxi guy come quick enough to fetch your kids in the middle of the night before their brains are fried by high fever?"
