For The Love Of Money Podcast | Business | Philanthropy | Entrepreneur | Lifestyle And Success With Chris Harder

  Today I’m talking about the question I probably get asked the most in regard to my podcast, and that’s, “does money bring you happiness?” This can be a complicated question, but I’ll try to break down the complicated (not-so-complicated) answer.   Money does indeed impact your happiness, but only to a certain degree. I’m a firm believer that money magnifies who you already are. If you’re a giving person, you’ll give more when you have more money. If you typically give less, you’re not likely to give any more when you do have more money. You with me?   “An unhappy person with bad habits simply becomes a wealthier person with bad habits.”   The money doesn’t change the person – it just changes their income. But here’s what money can do…   “Having wealth increases the number of opportunities that you will find happiness.”   On a scale of 1-10, there’s never going to be a 12 – more money doesn’t change that. But there can be multiple occurrences of a 10. Money ensures that you’ll have opportunities to have “10”
