Life is puzzling.

Sometimes I wonder why our politicians steal so much. By God's grace, I became rich and graced to see hundreds of million. A few contracts here and there and a great career. But here comes a new problem. This doesn't excite me anymore. The next 10 million is not going to make my life any better. Promotion at work, increase in income, nothing excites me anymore and worse is that I am not materialistic at all, so acquiring gadgets, toys, or building mansions could never make me excited. I live a very simple life, wear basic quality fashion items, and drive simple cars. This is just my personality and not an act of humility.

Despite all the many good things that have happened in my life and all the things that I could potentially acquire. I am at a stage where I am really confused about myself.
Sometimes I buy unnecessary things I don't need just to feel like I am spending money. Other times, I am quick to assist deserving friends.

If you are not materialistic and yet, rich. How did you overcome this problem? This problem has left me in a state where I am neither happy nor sad.

Your a Mumu man for asking this. I hope poverty doesn't kill you.

Berrityga:

Why this? Smh

If youve tasted money before, you'll understand the op. Been in his position before so I can relate.

Op, you're not alone. There was a time I was so comfortable though not a millionaire but could afford anything I wanted. It got to a point I began to feel like money is not everything and doesn't give happiness to the extent I voiced it out one day to my younger sister. Then, It didn't just feel so special any more like how it makes people go Gaga that they wanna do dangerous stuff to get it at all cost.

At that point it was no longer exciting as whatever I wanted I got. Now, I think differently and want to believe that that feeling/thought was a deception from the devil to make you unappreciative and ungrateful to God.

After I made that statement, things got a little tough and I began to see the importance of money and its tendency to make you happy. I began to appreciate God for all he did that period I had excess and then realized it was actually the devil making me devalue or underplay the importance of money all along.

Now I appreciate and value the littlest of things and above all, God.

So, please get rid of that attitude, it is ingratitude.

So, please get rid of that attitude of ingratitude.

No, It's not ingratitude. In fact, I think it might be too much of gratitude and contentment but I'm not sure. I am very comfortable and appreciative of where I am, was, and came from. I used to be so ambitious but not anymore. The desire for more is now nonexistent yet what was already gotten isn't as exciting as one would expect. A part of me thinks it's because I am not materialistic.

You may not know but it's an attitude of ingratitude because thinking or even asking if money gives happiness is a big pointer to the fact that youre underrating the power of money and how it can affect your mood.

Money gives happiness but you fail to see it now because it's still there. you won't know how valuable a thing is until you lose it. I pray you dont lose it.

you find true happiness achieving your dreams, goals and objectives. Acquiring wealth is an enabler to this. My advice is for you to go back to your passions and try fullfill as much as you can

Meanwhile, could you help me with some loan to kickstart my MSc.

Bro life is empty, the richer you get the meaningless life is.

Money doesn't give true happiness, but it kinda adds to it(happiness) .
Being financially stable is one less thing to worry about.
Money makes you to have access to things, like good health, house , education e.t.c.
So it kinda add to the happiness.
You just have to find what gives you true happiness bro 😑
For some people money is the true happiness.

whts the point of being poor in a world like this

Money is not making you happy because you are not the show off type. No doubt money block some sad mood you might be if you were poor, God forbid but when you think deeply, you will discover what can give you happiness.

We have read about the rich and the poor losing the willingness to live, thereby hanging themselves. Happiness is never a product of money.

Happiness is a state of mind and gratitude is a way of life because it transcends every aspects of our lives. You can be grateful for a new job, contract, good partner, kids, extended family, good health, breath of life. You 'd notice I didn't mention money. FYI, having sufficient money may get all you wanted but is never equal to happiness. The state of one's mental health or wellbeing determines the level of happiness or the feeling of fulfillment.

Money doesn't give happiness but euphoria and I can make reference to people who live in our remote villages, who are happier and more fulfilled than the rich man in the city. Our needs and the things we want in life are different and the emptiness our brother often feels is just a product of his state of mind. Being rich or wealthy is relative as well as being poor - you may not be as rich as you desired but still be content and happy.

Why do we concern ourselves with being rich or poor when we're actually here to experience life.

No
Money can give happiness but only to a certain extent

We are not talking about a state of being happy or sad. He said can money give you happiness? In order words, can it give you excitement? And I say yes.

Take for instance, you've been indoors all day hungry and sad. Suddenly you get an unexpected alert, what will happen? You'll be excited and end up a happy fellow by the time you're done meeting your needs but in his case, because the money is always there, he no longer sees the need to be excited because his needs are always met he now seeks for other source of happiness which may not be there. Things are being taken for granted when their availability is much.

Don't know If I'm communicating.

Even God is not a fan of being poor.
it will be stupid to chose discomfort in world where life is brief.
