Not me...but given a choice? Let me try being unhappy with money for a change! ;) I'd honestly like to do a scientific test (hehehe)
I mean really, wouldn't it be nicer to be unhappy in a comfortable luxurious atmosphere than say sitting in a cardboard box in some alley?

Money does not bring happiness. It can make our lives easier in some areas of our lives, but true happiness has to come from something more lasting than money.
Every great philosopher/religious figure, from Confucius, to the Buddha, to Jesus, taught against materialism, because it is so easy to put objects, money, and our own ego above compassion for our fellow human being.
Do I wish I had more money? Sure. More money would take a lot of stress away. But I will not be truly happy if I think a few more dollars in my bank account is all I really need in life.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear...
"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!"

No. Money brings misery.

You can believe this or not but if I had a choice between winning a $150,000,000.00 lottery or having Jesus Christ as my saviour. I would choose Jesus everytime.
And for your information I do not play the Lottery. I think it is a form of gambling and I think that gambling is wrong.

money can only offer different avenues that may lead to happiness, but having money does not equal happiness

I don't. It may make life easier but doesn't bring happiness.
