Nah. Money buys physical security. Happiness comes from within.

Oh and everyone should have a fair wage and physical security.

Happiness can be elusive and multidimensional, but money sure gets rid of a lot of daily stress. Like most of it. And when you get rid of stress, that relief can sure feel like happiness by comparison to what you’re used to.

100% true. The absence of pain can feel like pleasure for a time. All senses including our emotional sense work by contrast.

Anyone with rich friends knows that money doesn’t buy happiness. I have two friends who retired with $70 million in the bank 10 years ago. They are miserable. They spend money like mad trying to feel happy and it does not work. Meanwhile I work full time and have a fairly good salary for my area and feel happy more often than not.

Happiness comes from within only after your basic needs are met. I don’t care how Zen and optimistic you are. At a certain point chronic hunger makes it too hard to feel happy.

Thanks for agreeing with me. :)
