Hmmm... I don't think it's fair, to compare them all like this. For one thing, all of them are important, it's just a matter of what is emphasized on specific moments. Another is that they are not mutually exclusive of each other. The first may be related to the other two, or one may have caused the other. Finally, they are not "either or" situations. Prioritizing money, for instance, is not always translatable to lessening priority on friendship. Now that I got that out of the way, I'll answer your question. I would prioritize on my personal happiness than that of others. I think we should think of ourselves first before we think of others. Because if you can't be happy yourself, what makes you think you can make others do? You owe it to yourself to put your own happiness above others. Would it make you selfish? I don't think so, so long as your responsible with your pursuit. It only means that your human, to think of yourself first. And if they are really friends, then they won't let their own needs stop you from pursuing yours. Money, of course, is also important. Sometimes, too important that it plays a role on happiness and friendship. But that's another matter.

Money is important. Of course, this is just a personal opinion. How can one sustain friendship and happiness without money. Nowadays, friends would ask you to go to movies, dine out, go to weekend outings and vacations. Yes, if you don't have money, you will say that they will take care of you but for how long? You will only end up as a freeloader. And eventually your so-called friends will stay away from you.

I believe happiness is the most important.With money we can do many things but not everything. At least money cant buy happiness and friendship.If we are not happy what's the use of money?Of course with money we can live and have a high quality life but all of this is the basic of happiness,so does friendship.

For me I think what matters most is friendship. Because when you have friends you will become happy, friends make you happy and contented..when you have friends money will not be problem to you since your friends can be of help so that you can earn money. They can help you find job, they can be your customers if you have business. What do you think? ;)
