I will answer with a question. If you went to the doctor becasue you were unhappy and he pulled a case out with ten million cash in it and said " its yours". Would you be happy??? Now if your unhappy because your parents died.... thats all different right??? What if the insurance man shows up and says the each had 2 million dollar policies??? Think you might smile???? I would!!! It would ease the pain a little. After all, they could have been broke and left you with their debt.
You cant buy happiness! But having money makes it easier to be happy! If you asked 100 poor people every day for a year if they were happy and did the same with wealthy people. I would fair to guess that the wealthy are alot happier.

Yes. Money can buy a lot of hookers. See Pretty Woman with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.
I remember watching an interview with Tom Hanks on reflection of his life. It was pretty fascinating. He was in this movie where he played this really rich guy with his own private jet and all but ironically, during this time, he was still a nobody and one of his first gigs at the movies - fast forward to now - he has his own jet and he is that guy that he played in the movies - life imitates art - how about that? But I never forget one thing he said in that interview: "I've been rich and I've been poor, and I must say, it is much better to be rich"
The people that say money can't buy happiness are poor. Trust me.

To me money can pay the bills,provide for your children's needs,and any other necessities that your family has to have, and it can also help others in need. I don't think that money can buy happiness but we can live more comfortably with it.

No... I love to read the responses from women about money.. They are some money grubbing, gold digging women in this world.... Some of the most miserable people are rich people believe it or not. They just buy things to compensate for their unhappy lives. I believe Love is what causes happiness, and finding the one who you were meant to spend the rest of your life with.

Yes. Money can buy happiness. Try living without it and see how unhappy you are.

NO....money can only buy you material things. Happiness is a feeling and it can not be bought.

I think I saw some "happiness" on sale in the clearance isle at Wal Mart yesterday, right between some "common sense" and some "great sex".
I was gonna purchase all three, but the greedy lady behind me rammed me with her buggy and snatched it all.

No, money can't but happiness. You will think it does but it really doesn't. Because if you have money, you will have friends but as soon your money is gone your friends will leave you and go somewhere else and find some one else to rip one. Like in the Bible about the Prodigal Son. He had money and friends, but as soon as his money was gone, his friends left him and went somewhere else.

Yes & no because some people find happiness in luxurious or costly kind of things while some find that in other things like spending time with loved ones!!!!

No. Comfort yes. Happiness comes from within yourself.
