Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy me a mobile phone, which i can use to watch Oxford online English lessons. That's happiness to me.

Thanks Oxford Online English for this fascinating and helpful video. I am living in Tokyo, Japan and make decent money, at the first I was happy about this, but time getting by I am getting quite bored now, because each day is pretty similar and I am working with a boring job. So now, I am trying to learn English, take the IELTS and gonna come to another country for challenging and making my dream becoming reality. Thanks again.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Nice, Lois! Thanks for sharing!

[@mdadil2229]

Happiness and money are quietly related with each other. If you could think happiness like water, then money would be the bottle. It's possible that Happiness might come without money, but to keep happiness for a longer period of time, Money acts like a 'friend in need is a friend indeed'. I'm very keen on watching your videos and my real love to both of you just get the ground by posting comment for the first time. Many many thanks for both of You.😊

This is one of the best channel teaching english on youtube.

[@emrealici5196]

Yeah so far

[@waimin831]

Teacher Casia said "Money can't buy happiness".Ok. As far as I am concerned, money can fulfill for happiness but it may be a little. As money is the root of all evil,I can't tell as some people take a fancy to do evils as their happiness. That's why it depends on the host. For me, I'm a frugal and I haven't any debt.Being a student, I save money for my education and I have never took out a loan because it's enough. Thanks for your teaching.

[@zwyeli1873]

Every topic in Oxford Online English is very useful for me. Today I knew how to talk about money with others. For each spending, I will make careful budget. And I earn few money but I get by. And I am struggling to make ends meet. I spend most money on food and clothes. Sometimes I will save money for travelling.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Great! Thanks for sharing your response. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'For everything I spend, I will make a careful budget,' not, 'For each spending, I will make careful budget'. 2) 'I earn little money, but I get by,' not, 'few money'. Hope this helps you!

yes, I think so. Money plays an important role in my family. To be honest, without money, we can't cure our disease and purchase food. Of course, if we don't have money, happiness will not exist. Thanks for your video.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thanks for watching and sharing, Phan! Here is one suggestion for you: '...can't cure our diseases or purchase...' not, '...can't cure our disease and purchase...' Hope this is useful for you!

[@atluu5433]

very helpful, thanks so much !🥰

[@lienvu-ti4nv]

I agree with this idea because: + firstly money can buy time such as people can save time to buy a lot of things. this day they can order and have it delivered to their door. So they can have time to make anything they like and then they can happiness + Secondly, if you can earn lots of money, you can travel all over the world. that can make you comfortable and happy with all things you have. but you can effectively control the money that you earn + Summarize money can buy happiness but sure money can't buy lasting happiness. money can't buy health but it helps you protect your healthcare

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thanks for sharing your response, Liên! Here are a few tips to help some parts to be even better: 1) Did you mean, '...people can save time when buying a lot of things,' instead of, '...people can save time to buy a lot of things'? 2) '...have time to do anything they like...' not, 'make.' 3) '...and they can be happy,' not, 'happiness.' Hope this helps you!

Happiness is a complex concept depends on paticulary situation. Money doesn't bring happiness to someone, but without money, people can't afford the lifestyle themselves, at least having a lot money you will be more respected and do every thing you want. In my opinion, make money much as much possible within your ability (in flamework of law and mindset) and spending reasonable to assure your life and helping the others. Your destiny is most important, and use money as a tools to make you happiness and useful. Thank a lot, from Vietnam.

[@aungzinlatt5865]

thank you all the teachers I have been learning your lessons one month ago I got lots of grammar and vocabulary, it helps my English skills a lot I have been confusing with a topic that you said "money can't buy happiness" it can agree but sometimes it is not true for people who can't educate while others have been studying and learning to improve their skills, knowledge, and lives.in this case, however, love is important than money people said but it wasn't the truth for those people. Can you imagine that!

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thanks for the support, and for sharing your answer! Great points!

Money can't buy happiness but without the money, we can't get any happiness.

[@meyabouni5903]

money can't bring happiness there is no doubt about that, but also we can't live without it, so it's one of the most important thing in life

[@jennypaladines]

Thank very much. What a nice pronunciation!! I’ve always been struggling with the /z/ sound or the other one which is like a lowercase z, but now I think I got it from Mikey. And in my case I agree, money can make you happy, because if you are upset you can go to buy something and release stress or if you have enough or a lot of money you can help the less favoured which makes you happy as well. but you can not buy everything like health intelligence or life forever. Sorry you just have to accept life with the ups and downs

[@ibrahimissaissa6627]

"Money can't buy happiness" is true for some instances but generally without money there would be no happiness.

[@radwafarouk2340]

Brilliant video thank you so much

[@ilayaranibhagyaraj8172]

Money definitely brings happiness. Because we could get anything in this world. But peace of mind is most important in every one's lives. money will not give that. Good family can lead a happy life with some need money to meet their needs.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Hi Ilayarani. Thanks for watching and sharing. Here are some corrections for you: 1) '...happiness because we can get anything...' not, '...happiness. Because we could get anything...' 2) '...world, but peace of mind...' not, '...world. But peace of mind...' 3) '...life with some need money to meet their needs,' is a bit confusing. Hope this helps you!
