Yes, it is very true- but at least you can afford to buy a nice car while you drive around looking for it!

Its not true. Money can buy you many things- respectability, admiration,jealousy, you name it. For some people those are enough to make them happy, therefore, money can buy them happiness.
The only things that money cannot buy is more life if one is ill, or loved ones are ill. freedom, control over what others think and feel, and love. For others, love is everything, it is the only thing that can make you happy, so therefore, money cannot buy love.

Yes, that is a true saying. Just because you have money, and can purchase "things", it can't make you happy. Being happy isn't something you buy, lend, get in a loan. Its something that only you can make happen.

Dawn has a good answer. money can buy you things that make you happy, but it cannot buy happiness itself.

This is TRUE. I received My Inheritance a few years ago. ALOT of money.
I Had no family, no spouse, not many friends. I couldn't buy any of this.
The ONLY 'thing' that's made the difference for me... was Jesus Christ!!! :)
TRUE Happiness!!! FINALLY!!!

Yeah. You can invest your money in things that make you happy, but you can't buy it.

Well, it certainly can buy you a lot of things that make you happy.

Yes
Happiness is a life lived in virtue
Supreme happiness is a life lived in virtue coupled with money, success, health, friends, family etc.
It is harder to lead a life lived in virtue when you have money, success, health, friends, and family.
