They say life satisfaction is greater if you have more money. I think Money can buy happiness. When you buy an ice cream that is happiness. With money you can buy technologies, laptop, internet. With money you can afford travels and trips. With money you can afford health care and services and more. What do you think?

I´d sing with The Beatles: Money can´t buy me love. I guess money helps up to a point but it is not all.

I agree.... I think people who say money can't buy happiness have always had too much money.

@averygirl72 Yes, I've seen that, too. It's a shame, really. They're never satisfied.

An ice cream is not at all happiness, it's only a little pleasure. Money cannot buy happiness, but being without money is also a problem. Money surely helps to feel better.

Money surely helps if we want to be happy but there are things in life that are free and can still make us happy

@averygirl72 - Enjoy life with the person you love is free. Money is important to have a decent living, but more than we need is not what I want.

There are definitely a lot of things that money can buy that make our lives easier or happier. But it can't buy joy and true happiness.

Having money to buy the basic needs is better than living paycheck to paycheck and having to eat and drink less meals.

not everyone has money and lives happily, many people fight over it, causing disputes between families.

Money can give you what you want but you need good friends in your life to make you happy.

Money can buy you what you want, so that can make you happy in a way but its not everything. In life, its a mix of all things that can bring you deeper joy beyond superficial or temporary happiness that money can give. Aside from financial stability there's personal growths and relationships, life's purpose and fulfillment etc.

Money can't directly buy happiness, but it CAN make life more comfortable and when you have more of it, you can certainly be freer to pursue your own interests and dreams and have more ability to actually do what you want to do rather than just talk about it. Money is freedom, and being freer can sometimes make one happier. Just my two cents.

@averygirl72 I suppose if I have a LOT of money I'd stress much less over it, that's for sure.
