Do you think money can make you happy? If yes, then how much? Although we know that money is not the world, we still need to spend it for things in order to live.

Yes, you are right. Money is not the world, but we still need money to buy the things we need in order to live. For me the amount of money that will adequately supply the needs of my family is enough to make me happy. As long as I can buy food to eat everyday, pay the bills and the debts we owe, send our kids to school and buy all the things they need in school, that would be enough to make me happy. I always tell my fiance that I don't need him to exhaust himself just to get rich. I don't want to be rich, I just want to have enough. Not all rich people are happy. Some rich people have too much money that they become too obsessed with the material things that their money can buy. Sometimes they almost imagine that they can even buy the dignity of the people who don't have money! I believe that as long as my fiance and I and all our kids are healthy, I am happy and will always be grateful that I am alive!

I think there are basics to life that make you happy, and these vary on your personality. Fulfiling your life goals, having a family etc etc. I bealive that for most people without this they cannot truly be happy for all their life, there may be some exceptions but not many. After this, money makes things so much easier.
So yes, money can make you happy, but only if you have more complex things to back it up.
In terms of how much i`d say that really depends on how you want to live, for me $1,000,000,000,000 would probably do nicely :)
