Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His �3 Million Fortune http://neatorama.cachefly.net/money-happiness.htm
Karl Rabeder grew up poor and thought that life would be wonderful if he had money. But when he got rich, Karl discovered that he was unhappy � so he decided to give away every penny of his �3 million fortune:
"My idea is to have nothing left. Absolutely nothing," he told The Daily Telegraph. "Money is counterproductive � it prevents happiness to come."
Instead, he will move out of his luxury Alpine retreat into a small wooden hut in the mountains or a simple bedsit in Innsbruck.
His entire proceeds are going to charities he set up in Central and Latin America, but he will not even take a salary from these.
"For a long time I believed that more wealth and luxury automatically meant more happiness," he said. "I come from a very poor family where the rules were to work more to achieve more material things, and I applied this for many years," said Mr Rabeder.
But over time, he had another, conflicting feeling.
"More and more I heard the words: �Stop what you are doing now � all this luxury and consumerism � and start your real life�," he said. "I had the feeling I was working as a slave for things that I did not wish for or need. I have the feeling that there are lot of people doing the same thing."Money can't buy happiness!?
WHAT!

Re: Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His �3 Million Fortune Money obviously buys happiness. Does it guarantee constant happiness? Of course not.

Re: Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His �3 Million Fortune I think it shows great selflessness that he gave up all his fortune to charity. And money certainly does not buy happiness.

Re: Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His �3 Million Fortune Of course money can buy you happiness. It just can't ensure you have happiness for the rest of yer days. I'm sure I'd be a whole lot happier right now with more cash. Originally Posted by Nikos And money certainly does not buy happiness.

Re: Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His �3 Million Fortune No I wouldn't, I have all that I need. Money isn't all that matters to me, neither is getting new things. The only things that truly matter to me are my family and that I have what I need. Originally Posted by The Man Who Sold The World Of course money can buy you happiness.

Re: Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His �3 Million Fortune If buying things makes you happy then money sure helps. I think money can make you happy in the short run but it won't provide prolonged happiness.

Re: Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His �3 Million Fortune I love how people are insulting this guy for giving his money to charity.
He earned his money, he can do whatever the **** he likes with it. Would you guys think he was cooler if he bought a 3'000'000 dollar car?
At least hes helping people.

Re: Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His �3 Million Fortune Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a Jet Ski. And have you ever seen someone not smile on a jet ski? (from some comedian).
But you got to give this man props for helping others instead of blowing his money on Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll.

Re: Money Can't Buy Happiness, So Man Gives Away Every Penny of His �3 Million Fortune Well, each defines happiness differently. Could be that that was not the happiness he was looking for and that he will find it elsewhere, without his money. Only time will tell.
Besides, if he got 3 million out of nothing once, he sure as hell can do it again.
