Can money buy happiness? It's easy to say no, and probably correct, but that's just a way to stop thinking about the tougher issues. What is your relationship to money, for example, and how do you use this most powerful of worldly tools? Maybe you see that chasing after money for its own sake is destructive, but isn't it equally damaging to have such a powerful instrument in your hands while pretending it has no importance? Money Is Important Some say that money isn't important to them, but this isn't true. The truth is they don't see the importance. They make more than they need and yet complain they have no time for their children, when they could clearly trade time chasing money for time with their kids. Happiness So, can money buy happiness? Well, it can help put the right conditions in place. Is it easier to be happy if you have food to eat? Whether you call that buying happiness or not, the understanding is more important than the argument. I hope i am making sense! Have a nice day :)

No way. Money cannot buy happiness simply because happiness is not a commodity - it's a state of the mind. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE HAPPY THEN YOU ARE whether you have money or not. Money can buy things that give you happiness but this happiness doesn't last for long, once you lose interest in that thing than you are no more happy with that thing. We got to nake it a HABIT to think everyday that we are happy no matter what.
