Hi deepak2j,
Yes ... I agree with your opinion, that money can never buy happiness. Of course we all need money for our lives, such as buying food, clothing, shelter, school fees, etc, ... but I think someone who currently has a lot of money, not necessarily being happy. Well, he can get or buy something what he wanted, but I believe happiness lies not in the object or material things.
Something that we eat, the things we see, what we hear, etc ..., just at first we just really enjoy ... and it is limited. Humans like something at first alone, ... if you buy a car, a house, a new gadget ..., in the days or the first few months of course you really enjoy it .. but if after many years of enjoyment it will be the same you feel? I believe the answer is no.
So long as we seek happiness in things, objects or material, we do not reach it. Happiness is something that is in our soul, which is not visible, it can only be felt,,, yes ... happiness is when;
- In the evening it was getting late, you see the faces of your children are sleeping ..,
- Your little child call you and say what time to go home ... and say I miss you ...
- Giving a piece of bread to a hungry beggar in the street ..., though it was a piece of bread for your breakfast
- Etc, ...I am sure, you know yourself better when you feel happiness is ..
Give the best of you to the people you love around you, your friends, to God, our creator. I guess that's true happiness.
Have a nice day mylotter friends.

I believe that the best things to have in life are happiness, good luck and good health. It is hard to be happy when really ill or in considerable pain. It is wonderful to be lucky in life and this is something that can't be purchased. Money doesn't make a person happy. A severe lack of money can make a person really miserable and give him or her sleepless nights with all the worry.
If a person is having the time in their life with a romantic partner then life can feel fantastic. If the weather is warm and sunny with no rain a person, a couple or a family can have a very happy day out. Simple pleasures like walking along a scenic track or seeing the orange sunset can be fantastic.
A person needs things to make him or herself happy. My collections and photos make me happy. I enjoy quality time with my children and my pets.

Most things that can't be bought by money are usually easily enjoyed. There are of course things in life we need to buy with money in order to enjoy them. Its all a matter of balance. How much we can enjoy is fully up to us and how our minds are set in life.

money is important in life but money alone cannot bring happiness. you can buy a costly bed but you cant buy your sleep, similarly you can buy a horse but you cant use the money to make it drink water. so i agree with you that money can buy material things but cant buy happiness

Yes, things also will go bad, they can not help us enjoy them all in our lives. Maybe enjoying life do not rely on outside for example money, it depends on ourselves. We need money to survive, then wo need make ourselves happiness which money can not buy.

sorry to say this but it takes money to buy a lot of things we enjoy. food, shelter, not to mention a good computer which seem to be the one thing we enjoy most these days. so for me, money helps us enjoy life and makes us happier then the person on the street, homeless.

Of course, money is necessary. but you don't need to have too much money to be happy.
Yeah it takes a lot of money to have all the things you desire. But, desire can never end. We have small amount of money in our family. Still i am happy. Sometimes, it feels bad though people having cars and many things which i have not. But that's desire. You can never satisfy your desire.

The things we buy with money to enjoy are so fleeting but yet its something we crave quite often and strongly I've come to find out.

Hi,
You are right. Money can not buy happiness. If it so then lot of rich people should not be sad. Sometimes some poor people are happy with whatever they have. Money is necessary for life to fulfill our basic needs. But we should not greedy about money. money can buy things and not happiness.

Hi friend, I agree with you. Yes, some people say that they have much money they will happy and enjoy their life, but i think it is unfair. Because there are many people that can enjoy life and happy although they little money. I know money can make our life easier but money cannot make we enjoy life if we are not happy. Do you see many children that play with happy, they are not have money. Yes, money does not thing that make we happy and enjoy life.

They also say "the best things in life are free."
This and your observations are very true, but you need enough money to live on and the more money you have, the easier it is to live and to enjoy the things that are free.
Too much money can easily corrupt you, but you have to be the corruptable type in the first place.
