No, but it'll buy me loads of nice things and enough botox to make me look happy!

I don't think it's a yes or no answer, if you're lonely and unhappy I don't think money could make that better but if you're already happy with life money could make you happier by taking some pressure off and allowing you to spend time doing stuff you really enjoy

I don't really know because having money can take the stress off from people because of bills and all that stuff but then you have people changing around you. It's a yes and no answer really.

Depends how much.

If you had too much, would you still have any ambitions or dreams?

I suppose it depends.

Money doesn't make me happy, I don't spend a lot even though I'm earning. I'm happy enough with the things I have.

Ask me in a few years.

Not really, although you could be miserable in comfort and ease.

Millionairs kill themselves so its not a guarantee of happiness, it depends more on the person and how they are in their mind and body.

If you are miserable for personal or existential reasons then no amount of money will make you any happier... so I would say no.

However, on the flip-side, not having enough money to be comfortable can certainly make you depressed, stressed and unhappy. Debts, bills, not being sure how you'll survive month to month. Working long hours in a job that you dislike will obviously wreck your happiness, too. So in those situations, yes, money could take that stress away and allow you to spend more of your time with people you actually like doing things you actually enjoy, and so you would be happier.

Health means happiness. Family, love, security... it's nice to have money but if you don't it doesn't mean you can't be happy.

yeah but it's all about how you deal with money

if you come into a sudden fortune and the next day you're acting like a dick, you're going to become lonely very quickly
