It seems like a safe bet that you're not very good with money in real life.

You're also not very good at this game.

What planet are you from? Because on Earth money does equal happiness.

So answer this then, would you rather go roller blading or skateboarding down the boardwalk?

not to defend goodle either a trolling douche or just plain stupid, but I can tell you that life on Earth is subjective. I hate money more than anything else on this planet and I am as happy as can be. Of course, in this society money is required, or so we think, and in that I do well enough. But it certainly is not what makes me happy, and I know I'm not alone.

Money is an enabler and, as such, shares a direct correlation with the potential for happiness. While money does not directly equal happiness, it would be unwise to say that they are not related. However, there are always outliers...

As far as "sacrificing" one's life for a game... Well, that is really up to them. Honestly, trying to apply your definition of what a life should be is going to ultimately fail. In my opinion, if Joe_1001 enjoys spending countless hours farming platinum or trading up then the more power to him. My pass times tend to be far more destructive that that these days.

I currently live a pretty good college life with the biggest damper on my social life being the fact that I'm a Chemical Engineering major (graduating shortly, woo). I go out frequently with friends, I pay my own bills, I work hard and I play harder. However, I am finding that I was just as happy power gaming my butt off throughout junior high and high school as I am now.

Yep, I mean money = happiness is a huge philosophical discussion, that doesn't deserve to be had in a thread started by an adolescent troll. Without a doubt, as you pointed out, money (i.e. wealth) is not the only source of happiness. Although in todays society, at least in the western society, which all of us are part of, money (wealth) is one of the most common sources of happiness. This is a simple fact that cannot be denied.

Anyways... does anyone else find the following statements coming out of the same mouth (goodle) a bit ironic?
