Money has gotten a bad rap among spiritualists. It's nothing more than an essential commodity like corn or any food staple. We all have different appetites. Some eat less and some eat more. Some eat all the time and are never satiated.

So, "how to be happy with less money" has an ulterior motive. Is there any among us who has enough resource to survive without worries?

Depends how you define survival: sometimes you don’t need to eat or drink because of choking or how the food goes down...I suppose you don’t need clothes as we are technically clothed lol it’s a win- win citizenship (being in that situation; one can save up for luxury’s... some where you can’t lose apart from gaining free money from the government the actuals or let of what’s promoted on the printing on the money is another ‘let’ all together .... pros and cons

Before we examine the definition of survival, we need to ask the question: the survival of what?

"How to be happy with less money?" was a question that arose and we now need to identify the nature of the "questioner", as well as, figure out the relationship between "being happy" and money.

I used the word survive in the way most people understand it which conforms to the mainstream definition of the word, that's all. You have the necessary resources to perpetuate your material existence in the Earthen ecology: food enough, shelter enough, a water supply, warmth, contact with that ecology including other people if necessary. Some of these need money which usually means trading your labour or finding a benefactor.

Some are happy with just the basics; some aren't.

as well as, figure out the relationship between "being happy" and money.

My point was there's no relationship as long as you have the wherewithal to survive, id est, whether, finding yourself "alive", you can decide whether you're happy or not with what you have. Whether you're content / happy with your lot in life is a different matter.

One can definitely be happy without money—- we are programmed to be; it’s all luxury; which one has the choice for—- nothing wrong with spending for that little extra—- although some laws are available in society (like wearing clothes: funny question; when I reincarnated here I wore no clothes and knew I had to find some , if I didn’t the police would pick me up... wondering around naked is deserting....it’s a win win but without money in your pockets: leads to one questioning...

Yes, definitely.... for spirits of that other world, that is.

Spiritualism can be a bad thing if it is used as a drug for escape from this incarnation where you have to find the clothes, food and shelter that money buys.

We were indeed programmed to be without money, and clothes, but our ancestor changed all that. I am not talking about a prehistoric ape but a human being, an idiot who ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge (i.e. he chose to follow the science and ditched spirituality).

"Lost soul" is such a great name.

There's a way you can be happy with less money that would also make you more magnetic to money.

Think about the essence of what you want the money for - how you would feel if you had the money you were after. For example, freedom, security, joy, and confidence.

Then think about ways you can experience those feelings right now without the money. Then follow through and make it a priority to experience those feelings daily.

The feeling of having what you want is magnetic to the forms that match it, so if the essence of your desire for more money is freedom, then feeling free will make you more magnetic to money.

Thanks—- the belief of the Adam is a difference opinion—-we all have the Adam inside of us..we have to eat from that tree—- we are spared to free our self’s from the avatar in question (anywho a different thread) with incarnation—- just to be incarnations—- to live or to die or to be difficult and know this knowledge ( makes the difference between the chance of survival rate or living in luxury-// Adam could be anyone and if he received discourse came to him via an advisory (who would be there—- there’s conformity- available in all societies and socialism’s.....thankfully I was risen in the/ by the abyss (makes me a hybrid from the creationists... I only deal with society’s higher symmetry—-among the people you’ll recognise!

Thankfully anyone risen or alive has to have ‘death-keys’ someone (an creationist-with their own security and ‘power’ ) would choice to live dead—- not be risen...my account is tumbling...lol stating someone not alive —- truly lives—- I wouldn’t worry being with my twin flame or children ( we are all one)

95% of very financial people are unhappy.
95% of unfinancial people, are unhappy.
95% of moderately financial people are unhappy.

And for those concerned about survivability: There are more dead rich people, than alife ones.

This reminds me of something Abe has said that really stuck with me:

You will always be in a state of unfulfilled desire.

Basically, no matter what you've achieved or how successful you are, there will always be something in your life you want and don't yet have. Because of this, you might as well make peace with the feeling of not having what you want and find a way to be happy right now.

If you can't be right happy now, then you can't count on being happy when you have the thing you most want because there will always be something else that takes its place.
