    Can money buy happiness? Naah (but then neither does poverty). I know happy/unhappy people on either end of the wealth spectrum. Money can darn sure make being unhappya lot more comfortable though.

    Well , look two ways , not one way gangs.
    Money cant bring happiness , but without money we hard to live happy. Money is needed conditions , not the full.

    Well my girlfriend said if I go to the marines and get shot and die the money will make her happy.

    Its only like $100,000 but she said shes going to buy a big truck.

    I think she was just joking cause she doesn't want me to go to the armed services but yeah I guess it would to some.

    Money can buy you freedom from a lot of everyday inconveniences, frustrations, difficulties and problems. The extent to which freedom from all those things equates, for you, to happiness, is the extent to which money can buy you happiness. People vary a lot in this regard.

    Well I'm going to be a little biased here and say that everyone that visits DP is selfish because come on... DP is a forum that teaches you how to make money.

    If people are finding ways to make money, then of course, they are a little bit selfish, and that includes me.

    I don't believe money can buy happiness but I believe money can help you find happiness.

    What's the point of being rich if you have no one to share your wealth with?

    Money can give you more freedom, and with that freedom you can search for your own happiness.

    Happiness can only come if what you do fulfills your soul.

    I think it can buy short term happiness but not long term ones.

    Well, since shopping is one of my favorite hobbies, then I guess money does "buy happiness" in a way. :D

    Money can't buy happiness but same goes the other way round because there won't be happiness if there's no money.

    It depends on who you are.

    For the selfish and greedy, money is required for happiness. But for those who are kind and selfless, money is just a little something for a bit of extra happiness. Those people get happiness from their own satisfaction in life, which is true happiness, as opposed to happiness gained through purchases of excess items.
