The relationship between money and happiness is pretty darned small,".
That's not to say that increased income doesn't matter at all. There is a very small correlation between wealth and happiness. People who are poor seem to get much happier when their monetary prospects improve, as do the very sick. In these cases people may be protected from negative circumstances by the extra cash. Another possibility is that the money brings an increase in status, which may have a greater impact on happiness.
Why doesn't wealth bring a constant sense of joy? "Part of the reason is that people aren't very good at figuring out what to do with the money,"
Do u think money would bring happiness in your life??
or is it that while money may not help make people happy, being happy may help them make money.

NO. Money is the root of all evil. I have been poor, in the middle and at the top. Money is just the source of more debt. They say the more you have the more debt you have. They are right.
The only thing that can make you truely happy is yourself, and those you surround yourself with.
Money and objects do not matter in the end.

well i wud agree to your point if people would have this sense to recognize that whats matter in the end... but everyone wants to have the pleasure of life rather then thinking as what matters in the end....

not always and not the only reason though its one of the reasons which gives you happiness but the real thing is satisfaction which it doesnot give its more your inner calmness which gurantees it

Money doesn't bring happiness; but it certainly lubricates the path towards happiness :)
