Sep 15, 2014 The real question should be how does this money get from our back pockets and into the coffers of the big movie studios. Some of the pathways are incredibly obvious, some perhaps a little less so.
I am a strong believer that real happiness has zero correlation with money, sometimes money and happiness even have a negative correlation (more money = less happiness). I have stated earlier that money should just be a means to an end and nothing more. Let’s look at some reasons why money does NOT bring happiness.
Apr 29, 2021 50 Beloved Movie Stars Who Are Jerks in Real Life. Some movie stars are known for being wonderful in person: like Hugh Jackman, Matthew McConaughey, and Kristen Wiig. With that being said, you can't say that about every actor and actress. Some of them aren’t so nice in person. In fact, they’ve gained a reputation for being some of the.

Interesting side note, fake money has to be very specifically made to appear realistic enough on screen without being so realistic it could be mistaken as real money. There have been a few instances where companies have been threatened to get sued by the Treasury Department for counterfeiting. Whether you want to make money watching movies online or locally, there are so many options out there. In terms of which one is the best, it really depends on your needs. For example, if you want to make a decent income, then you’ll want to try a job like pet-sitting, or being an entertainment writer. Both of these options can earn you $100s.

Reaching financial independence is the ultimate goal for many of us, almost every personal finance blogger I follow state that their goal is reaching financial freedom. The general assumption is that with more money comes more happiness; some say money does not necessarily buy happiness but it can make things a lot easier. We don’t hear many people argue that money will bring unhappiness, what if I said it does? I am a strong believer that real happiness has zero correlation with money, sometimes money and happiness even have a negative correlation (more money = less happiness). I have stated earlier that money should just be a means to an end and nothing more. Let’s look at some reasons why money does NOT bring happiness.

More Money = More Stress

Always Want More [Greed]
You may believe that once you reach a certain financial target you will be happy and not want more. For example, you may believe that if you made $100,000/year you will be happy and want no more, but the fact is that nothing is ever enough for us as human beings. If you make $100,000/year why not try a little harder and make $150,000/year and buy the bigger house and a new luxury car? We always want more and herein lies our weakness and the source of our unhappiness.

Relativism
It’s not that having a lot of money is important; psychology studies have shown that we do not mind lower income as long as we make more than others. Our happiness is based on keeping up with the Joneses and their happiness is based on keeping up with us, hence it’s a cycle in which nobody will ever reach true happiness.

Less Time To Enjoy Life
The primary reason for reaching financial independence is so that we have more time to do the things we love and enjoy life. However studies after studies have shown that the more people make the less time they spend enjoying their life. With more money come more responsibilities and more stress (isn’t that counter-productive?), now put this together with the previous two points and you have the perfect receipt for unhappiness.

Money Makes Us Unhappy
At this point it should be clear that money has little or no chance of making one happy, but that’s not all. A study by Berkeley actually shows that money brings unhappiness. “In a capitalistic society, people generally believe that – all other things being equal – being rich is better,” Chatman states. “But that is not what we found.” Although the study compares differences between individuals depending upon work values, one can draw inferences to the general population.

Money’s Effect On Happiness Overrated
There is also research showing that money’s effect on happiness is overrated, Princeton Researcher and the 2002 Nobel Prize Winner Kahneman, PhD, says that money does not bring happiness. Kahneman says that people overrate the joy-bringing effect of money, he says:

Increases in income has a relatively brief effect on life satisfaction.

Psychological studies show that the wealthier people are, the more intense negative emotions they experience. These studies do not link wealth with greater experienced happiness.

When countries experience a sudden increase in income, there is not a corresponding increase in citizens’ sense of well-being.

If you truly want to be happy than your happiness should neverbe based on external or material things. True happiness comes from within; a poor man living in the mountains of Afghanistan is often happier than a Wall Street CEO living in a NYC Penthouse.

How much of your happiness depends on money? Is your goal reaching financial freedom so that you can have more time with family and not worry about money…? Does money bring happiness directly or indirectly?

Why the ’80s? The decade was all about money, introducing the world to the yuppie and crack, along with film characters like Tony Montana and Gordon Gekko, who seemed to coin slogans about money, wealth, capitalism, and, most memorable of all, greed, every other time they spoke. (We were supposed to be reintroduced to Mr. Gekko this week with Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, but the film’s release was pushed off to the fall.)

Money was a favorite obsession in the ’80s, and it came through on film. Richard Pryor was sold off as a child’s plaything in one movie (The Toy), and given $300 million just for wasting $30 million in another (Brewster’s Millions). Tom Cruise was always starring as a cocky entrepreneurial type on the hunt a quick way to get rich in the likes of Cocktail, Risky Business, and Rain Man. It was a decade when you could inherit millions merely if you swore off booze, smoking, and other vices (Easy Money), and when the whims of the wealthy and powerful could instantly transform rich to poor, and vice versa, a la Trading Places.

So perhaps I wasn’t wasting my time watching all those movies back in my formative years. Maybe I was learning something about money, and how the business world works. So, with the help of the Internet Movie Database and MovieQuotes.com, here are some kernels of wisdom and amusement from ’80s movies, for those who as obsessed about money as anyone was three decades ago. I’m posting 40 quotes today, and you can look out for the rest tomorrow. They’re in somewhat random order, though feel free to comment on your favorites.
