Answer 3

Money buys material stuff. A person cannot live without money, because the basic needs of a human being must be purchased and paid for. On the other hand, money gives you the possibility to do certain things, the things that you want. Money brings you freedom, in a way. But happiness... is a non-material concept. Happiness lies within oneself. Even if you have all the money in the world, you can be unhappy. That's because happiness is not brought by the material stuff, but by the spiritual things. Happiness means to have someone to share your life with, to love and be loved, to have good friends that help you when you are down. Happiness is to see a beautiful flower, to smell it... to see a deer in a forest. The utmost happiness is to give. When you receive something, you feel pleasure. Happiness is when you give something to someone, and see that that person feels good or happy.
Money brings you the freedom and the possibility to do whatever you want (almost). But you have to know how to be happy; it is something that lies within yourself.

Answer 5

I think money can buy some aspects of happiness only, I mean in the form of material, concrete products, some mansions, etc. But from what we have or own, such said things do not guarantee happiness. The happiness we need to acquire from our mind within. In sum, I agree with you the money can buy some pleasures and forms of happiness, not happiness itself.

Answer 10

My definition of happiness is the process in which we repent, be forgiven, and go to heaven after we die.
My second definition of happiness is simply "heaven" itself.
As a result money can not buy my happiness, but, without money, we die quite quick. We need time to grow and repent, so money is also quite important.
