Gosh, I think so! I don't have any and I am not happy alot of the time. I am however, VERY thankful for my husband, son and baby on the way, and for our health. What about you?

hello there. It really depends on how you define happiness. I personally think money cannot buy happiness. Money might be able to buy us things that will make us happy ie. beautiful clothings. But it can never buy us things like Love, Kinship and Health. If one treasures material possessions more than love, kinship and health, he or she will be happy. But if one treasures love, kinship and health more, even with alot of money but no love, kinship and health, one would not feel happy.

We can say that money can buy hapiness,but no totally.If we have enough money to spend for our life,that's good,we will always be happy.

I would sure be happy with a lot of money. And it is not that I want to buy everything in sight, but I want to have just enough to live comfortable without having money troubles.

Without money,we cannot do anything,but owning money is not the only way to become happy ,on the one hand,money can buy happiness,on the other hand,money can't buy permanent and onefold happiness.it's more complex than others. for example,it always be connected with the moral.
