Yes.we need happy to be happy, BUT, we should bear in mind not to ,make money the source of happiness and not to love your money more than happiness itself!

I think money can't buy the happiness. But if we have money, perhaps it's easier to be happy. As we have less worried about the future and we can buy whatever we like.

Money is a factor for us to buy our needs and wants. But it is not the source of true happiness. Money cant buy happiness. The best things in life are free. We can be happy even without money. But in todays life in order to survive we need money but it is not a major key for us to be happy.

I don't think you need money for happiness but it sure helps! The stress of being poor and not being able to make ends meet sure makes it hard to be happy. Having said that, when I was first married and had my first son, we were not poor but it was tight. We had very little left after paying bills - if that. But I was incredibly happy and wanted nothing material. I was just happy with my husband and baby and my little home. Now, fast forward and we are making decent money and I am buying whatever I want (to a degree of course. I am not rich by any stretch.) and I feel like a pile of rubble. So it isn't all about money. Still, it helps to have enough to live on. Being with nothing and worrying how to feed your kids has got to be terrible and miserable. So, no money can't buy happiness but having enough to survive on can allow you to be happy with the other things in your life. Good topic!

yes you are right.but what what i say is there is no love if there is no care in the same way there will be no life if there is no money. indirectly we have to depend on money. there was a saying also money makes many things
