I'm convinced that a lot of people are unhappy, regardless of their level of income, because they feel powerless or insecure in their current position and can't seem to stop focusing on the things they don't have.
Success in my mind is having reached a goal that you previously set out for yourself. In that sense, real success is deliberate and something that needs to be worked towards with focus and discipline. Success doesn't just happen by accident.
Sure some people make a crap load of money by accident, but money finds it's own level. If those people are stupid, they'll be poor and miserable again in no time. I know of people who work constantly. Sure they make a lot of money, and by all accounts they should be fairly happy, but often times they just use that extra cash to busy themselves so that they don't have to face any downtime and come to the realization that their lives suck.
Asking whether money = success is so difficult because success and happiness go hand in hand, and happiness varies from person to person. I do feel, however, that financial stability is a key to real success. How can you focus on being happy and content if you're constantly struggling with your finances?
So long story short: does money = happiness? Well...no, probably not....but it sure as hell doesn't hurt the cause either. :thumbup:

You've hit the nail on the head kiddo! There are many people out there who are just consumed by making more and more money. They gain all that money only to see things of inestimable value slip away from them (family, friends, etc.) From my experience, the more you make, the more you spend and you are never really better off. Now that you have written all these amazing truths, the question has to be asked... why are you working so much?
To the gentleman who owns Pannon Motorsports... I salute you for putting family ahead of money. From all I have read, you have a great passion for all things motorcycle, so it must have been a tough decision to make, but I think you will discover that it was the right choice. All the best to you in your future endeavors.

I would love to see you point out what im not understanding.
Money does not guarantee happiness, but it still somehow equals happiness? Really?

Ok I guess I will have to go the ESL route.
Step1) NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS GUARANTEED...ergo (that means there for) saying that Money does not guarantee happiness is a moot (which means meaningless) point.
Step 2) Having a lot of money means you have the access and opportunity to things such as better health care, better education, better housing, more opportunity to indulge in hobbies or personal enthusiasms. This means your life is better than someone's who doesnt have access to the things you do.
Go down to the local soup kitchen and ask them how many of them are happy and wouldn't trade their life for a millionaires.

Re: Thank you all - shop closing - pannon moto sports inc.
Being the youngest of 8 with all my siblings working/living mediocre jobs/lives my parents always wanted me to be successful.
The curse that comes with being Egyptian, is that my parents have always wanted me to be a lawyer, doctor, pharmacist, engineer, etc...
School wasn't for me, I went to college to try and make it happen but it just didn't work.
I always wanted to be rich because my whole life growing up in Egypt we were poor.
The poor in Egypt is very poor, not like here where you have things like government housing, free healthcare, welfare, etc...
Naturally, one wants what one can't have and I always wanted to be a millionaire.
I've been at my current job since I was 21 and every year I make more money than the year before. Considerably more.
I have found a career where there is always room to grow and grow and grow... and I'm not giving that chance up.
There are many successful people who never had a post secondary education and I swore to myself that I would be successful to prove to my parents that I will make it. Not just for me but for all of us. I know I will make it.
I am paying for it but I certainly hope that the price is worth it, we'll see how it all unfolds.

100k these days ain't that much dude, after taxes and deductions you lucky if you clear 60k.
Tell you for experience, the more you have the more you spend, add a couple of expensive hobbies, a gf and the other one and you are broke
Re: Thank you all - shop closing - pannon moto sports inc.
Seems that its you who is having issues understanding.
If the poor arnt happy, that still doesnt mean all the rich are.
Money cant buy you everything in life, it can buy a lot of things, but not everything.
