Jan 24, 2011 - You don't think that you are, but you are. Anyone who so confidently and repetitively asserts the rich people are happier in all the various ways you have stated is materialistic. If you weren't, those thoughts wouldn't even cross your mind. I'm slightly materialistic, but I know that true happiness comes from love and belongingness. Being rich is merely icing on the cake.
Jan 23, 2011 - I'm not materialistic at all.. just for the record I think even if I had the money to buy that car I wouldn't be able to drive such an expensive car around, knowing that there is people in this world dying of hunger every day.... I always try to be as humble as possible, of course, I know I work hard and if I want something why not have it if I can, but always humble.... and honestly I'm actually not familiar with Maslow's hierarchy, I'll do some reaserch about it though!
Jan 23, 2011 - You are thinking in a materialistic manner. Once you have enough to live comfortably the extra money won't make you happier. Sure, it is nice to have better things, but measurable happiness comes from things that cost little to no money. Are you familiar with Maslow's hierarchy?
Jan 23, 2011 - That is very affordable.... I'm surprise! maybe one day I could own a Nice BMW and be able to have that great driving experience.... if not I'll be happy with something that just moves me around where I want to go ; ) and remember is just not the price you pay for the car... also insurance, taxes, etc... lolololol but whatever, if you work hard to have something you like, why not going for it??
Jan 23, 2011 - I didn't ment that.... but is ok why would I bother arguing??? I know rich people can be happy because they can have everything they want, but I ment that being rich doesn't have a direct correlation with happiness, and one problem for instance could be that you could get tired of having everything you want without having to actually work or make an effort to get it. I could be right, I could be wrong... who knows? all I can do is hope the best for everyone!
Jan 5, 2011 - Maybe you should focus less on material possessions. There is a low correlation between income and happiness. Who cares about an Alpina that much anyway? If you are going to spend that kind of money get a Ferrari or Lamborghini instead. Most people don't even know what an Alpina is.
Jan 5, 2011 - You definitely are a pessimist if knowing that rich people can be unhappy brings you satisfaction (you imply that wealth determines happiness and also that you are not wealthy and therefore not happy). Deserve it? Who are you to determine what one deserves, especially material possessions. Money earns these kind of toys, not merit. That money doesn't come without cost for most people. Hard work and/or a high level of education are necessary or else everyone would be rich.
Jan 4, 2011 - Even though I probably sound like a pesimist, I'm a realistic person and I know how life is. But don't worry I also know that sometimes a rich person driving an alpina B7 or any other super car is not always happy, while some of us are happy! money doesn't buy happiness even though I know it can buy something like this. It just bother me sometimes that someone who probably doesn't deserve it, is the one who drive it. But I understant your comment and I respect your opinion :-)
Jan 3, 2011 - the fact that you imply the only way to drive an Alpina is to be born rich AND have your parents by it for you is pretty sad

BMW's M division is known for turning the brand's already competent vehicles into exceedingly fast thrill machines. But there are gaps in M's coverage. That's where long-standing BMW performance house Alpina comes in. In the absence of an M-tuned BMW 7-Series Alpina has stepped up to the plate to give it a complete performance makeover. In this video Alpina's top man, Andy Bovensiepen, shares the finer details of the 2011 BMW Alpina B7 with KBB's Micah Muzio.
