i don't believe so, not in the long run, but too little money can certainly bring a lot of unhappines.

Answer 2

One place that has a lot of interesting sayings about happiness is Bartlett's Quotations, which you can find online at Bartleby.com. Maybe after you look at some things people have said, you can decide which way you want to try to persuade.  

Answer 3

Money can't buy happiness...but it can rent it for a while! Money is just a means to an end. It can buy lots of things. And it can buy things you can't put your finger on, such as information, knowledge, and people's silence (or lack of it). There's always been some form of money, from the very earliest of time. It was always meant to be a form of trade in order to get what was needed. Sometimes getting a need filled will bring happiness, but it never really lasts. Once a need is filled, there's always another need popping up. Then, there's want, which is different than need. We can't live without food, but we can live without ice cream. We can want booze, but we don't need it to live. It's the act of buying that can make us feel happy, but it's never completely fulfilling. If it was, then there'd be a lot of companies closing up shop because everyone had all they needed or wanted. The thing with money is, it eventually runs out. If we were only happy because of the money, then we'd be very disappointed when it ran out. It's best to put your trust in things that always remain constant, and never run out. Of course, that's another story in itself. <*)))><

Answer 4

money can buy you a hooker but it cant pay for a cure that is not invented yet work with that have fun

Answer 5

thats hard because money really does buy happiness....

Answer 6

I think that money can buy the ability to have happiness.

I understand that money CANNOT buy emotions, but WITHOUT money, you can also be miserable in certain situations...

You can be with the one you love and be in love, but being broke... I don't know... you need to develop a personal theory about it and stick to it!

Good luck!

Answer 7

If you were popular, just because you have money - would it make you happy?

If people said only nice things about you, just because you have money - would it make you happy?

If people were kind to you all the time, just because you have money - would it make you happy?

If people did anything for you, just because you have money - would it make you happy?...

I would have hard time trusting people and would be sad and lonely if this happened to me.

Answer 8

How about something from the song Can't Buy Me Love by The Beatles? There was also a movie called that... it might have some lines. You could also go to google and search "quotes about money" or "quotes about happiness".  

Answer 9

Everytime I buy something expensive, something bad happens in life that brings me down, so I'd say no. It depends what you treasure in life. If you only want materialistic things in life, then money can buy happiness. If you want love/friends/etc, then no.

Answer 10

actually it buys fake happiness eg. Oprah has not gotten divorced. HOW THE FU***CK NOT MONEY!

Answer 11

Money buys happiness in terms of "comfort" and "materialistic items"  but does not buy you happiness that fills your heart "spiritually".

Answer 12

you can say that money cant buy you happiness but it can buy just about everything else

Answer 13

If money doesn't buy happiness you're buying all the wrong things.

Answer 14

Interesting...

It may be true that money does not buy happiness, since there are very many wealthy people who aren't happy, but look a little deeper.  What if money COULD buy happiness but some of the rich people just were not making that particular purchase.

My feeling is that while money does not buy happiness, it DOES buy opportunity.  So 10 million won't guarantee happiness, but it WILL get me a house on the beach in Aruba and a beautiful boat and allow me to spend free time meeting friends, or just doing things that truly make me happy.

Money does not buy happiness, but it can help create opportunity to be happier, and poverty doesn't have a lot of benefits that I am aware of.

Answer 15

s*x. Nothing is as good as great, free s*x.  

Answer 16

happiness is a sincere feeling and there is a long way between money and happiness. Just  i want to say " when you believe in your own feeling the happier will be"

Answer 17

@ ayalaant: that would be because your materialistic person who has never been able to show love/has never been loved in their life.
