I have always heard that more money always brings on more problems.

LOL, I don't have to worry about winning the lottery....I don't waste my money on tickets!
I don't think I'll ever have to worry about being rich.

I voted for other.
I think money would make me happier because I wouldn't constantly be stressed about money. I spend at least an hour every day thinking about money, rejuggling finances, trying to pare down my grocery budget etc etc. Thats 30 hours a month I could be doing something else!
But I'm really not sure. I know many people who have money but are miserable. DH & I have gotten a lot closer & stronger through this journey, so I'm not sure I'd suddenly want to go backto "having" money and then we spend spend spend....
But hey, I wouldn't turn down like 5,000 right now lol.

I don't buy lottery tix either. Once in awhile I'll get a scratch off game, because they're "fun" but the winnings aren't a jackpot like lotto.
I would be less stressed if I had more of a cash flow. I'm always thinking about "what ifs" and live on a budget. I would be more relaxed if I had more dough. :P
Sure a lot of money can relieve financial tension but I don't think it would make me happier. It wouldn't change the things that truely matter to me. If I won the lottery tonight then I wouldn't automaticly wake up tomorrow
I voted yes, but only because having more $$ would relieve a lot of stress. But I don't think it would make me any happier than I am now with my life. We would travel more, my DH could work less. I do buy lottery tickets but so far the most we have won is $80. (which was put into our holiday fund) If we won a big lotto then I may think about moving and not giving some family members my forwarding address lol. Mostly I would just like enough to not have to worry if I want to spend $5 on a magazine or whatever is $5. I know we will get there.
my silly ticker has stopped working, oh well will have to go and start a new one.
I don't think that more money would make me happier. I know that I am fortunate in that my income does cover all my bills and allow me a little breathing room for a personal allowance.
Yes, more money would probably relieve some stress by allowing me pay off my debt quicker, but in my mind that is not the same as happiness. Ultimately, I know that there will come a day that I have more of my income available to me once I have paid off my debt.
Having said what I have above, since I work part-time and study full-time, I know that I should receive more money (as income) than I currently do once I'm done studying and find a job that will use my qualifications.
