It all depends on the persons definition for happiness or should i say contentment. If your goal in life is to enjoy the fruits of material gains, then yes, money does solve that to an extent however one should not rely on external things or other people for happiness and contentment in life for you will surely fail. True happiness comes from within even if you are happy to earn a small living and live within your means! It's all about priorities in life!
"Kisiko mukammal jahan nahi milta, kabhi zamin to kabhi asmaan nahi milta"! This is an urdu proverb which roughly translated means, "Nobody finds a perfect world, sometimes you don't have land and sometimes you don't have the heavens"!

I have had times where I had no money and then there have been times where I have had plenty of money. I can say that I have been much happier when I can pay all of my bills and all of my needs are met.
Granted there are millionaires who commit suicide every day but that is not a result of being rich. They have other problems that are more deeply rooted. Thus being rich and suicidal has to be much better than being poor and suicidal.
Can you be poor and happy? Certainly. I think so. But if you can be poor and happy, I am sure that being rich can make a poor happy man happier.

Money can buy security but not happiness. Unhappy people are going to be unhappy no matter how much money they have or don't have. There's a big correlation between money and self-esteem. You will see that unhappy people spend more to try to make themselves feel better. It doesn't work. The more you spend, the more stress you have in repaying the debts which continues to make you unhappy. It's a vicious circle. Happiness comes from inside your soul, not inside your wallet.

It's true that money never buys happiness unless you think it will help to have a lot of money. I say that it can't. You'll only find true happiness in somewhere money is not related. In your heart. Think of the blessings you have as of now. You'll see true happiness there

Hello Friend, I think that money don't matter anything. Instead of bringing happiness in life, it make us poor (begging for happiness). There is no person in this world who is being happy having all the luxurious things. Think over my views. Am i right or wrong, tell me.

Material Happiness. Though we keep saving things, money does buy happiness.

No, having money just makes life easier. True happiness and contentment comes from within.

Well it can help...that's for sure. You need to enough to get by and to have a few luxuries too. But money can't complete happiness.

I agree. It's also like the "escape from reality" thing that liquors temporarily gives you when you're sad; but after that, the feeling of something lacking still lurks inside you...
