No it does not bring happiness because you would never know if someone liked you for you or for your money. At the same time, wealth can open many doors that might have been closed to you before.

No, wealth is materialistic,no wealth cannot bring happiness, money cannnot buy happiness ever. Inner peace brings true happiness and that can only be aquired by and with a relationship with Jesus Christ. The peace that surpasses all understanding is just that. It is totally a wonderful gift from God.

Wealth brings a form of happiness. It does not provide the same happiness that a dog would show you through his obedience and love. It shows you a form of happiness that comes through material ownership.

Yes, it does. Think about this...
If you are have enough money where you didn't have to work a day in your life, what could you do? You and your family would be set. You could help with charity, ensure jobs of thousands of people, if you spend it wisely. You would have the security of knowing that you time on earth is pretty much paid for.
Wealth, in it self, is a good thing. In means financial stability for you and the ones you love.

No. Having good, loving friends and family brings happiness.

I have discovered three things about this issue.
1. People who say money can't buy happiness are invariably POOR. Many are too poor to pay attention.
2. Money may, in fact, not buy happines but it is hard to tell the difference.
3. If money does fail to buy happiness, it is guaranteed to make misery far more tolerable.

I imagine that were you to give a random person a couple thousand dollars, they would be generally happier than before the money came, if only for a short period of time. For some people, money=life, and life=happiness.
