August 28, 200818 yr It can but at the same time it doesn't, having massive amounts of money can buy you things that could make you happy, but it also tends to alienate the person with the money, so in all honesty it depends on your definition of happiness.
August 28, 200818 yr yes, just go ask Ivanka Trump. She married, made sure Donald didn't get a pre nupt, and took over $100 million from him, and she lives very happy now.
August 28, 200818 yr On it's own, probably not, but it sure does help. The lack of money can definitely bring sadness.
August 28, 200818 yr ?Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.?
August 28, 200818 yr I asked a friend recently and wanted to know the opinions of others. It can sometimes buy temporary happiness, IMO. :whistle
August 28, 200818 yr I asked a friend recently and wanted to know the opinions of others. It can sometimes buy temporary happiness, I think. I blame money for all the problems of the world.

August 28, 200818 yr Money doesn't buy happiness but it sure allows you to have a much more enjoyable life than you would otherwise.
August 28, 200818 yr Oh Hell No! Why do you think there are so many VH1 and MTV Specials?? I guess it would depend on your definition of happiness. If you believe happiness is surrounding yourself with material wealth, then your answer would be yes. But, does your tricked out car feed your soul? Does your million dollar mansion talk to you? Do all those Benjamins stir your heart? A quick, true story: Several years ago, my hubby came to help me on a teacher's workday at my school. He left to go do an errand and then was on his way home. A couple of hours later, I got a phone call from him saying, "Honey, I'm ok." I said, "What are you OK from?" He told me he had a 'little' accident while on his motorcycle but that he was on his way home. I tried to get him to stay where he was but he was determined to come home. When he arrived home, he limped up the steps to our home. I could see his jacket sleeve shredded and so was his pant leg. I cannot even begin to tell you of the deep gouges in his helmet. He told me he ran into an oil slick at an intersection and had to put his bike down or he would have been killed by the cross traffic. Still stubbornly refusing to go to the hospital, he told me he was on his way to buy a lottery ticket. I kissed him and told him not to bother. I said, "I've already won the Lottery." He was alive and would recover from his injuries. Trust me- no amount of money could have made me happy if something were to happen to someone I love.
August 28, 200818 yr nope, neither can location or people. You have to enjoy yourself and where you are to be happy.
August 28, 200818 yr I don't think money can buy happiness but debt can ruin your life. Stay out of debt, do what you love and stop and smell the roses. The journey is the reward.
