Can money buy happiness?
 

In my opinion, money can't buy happiness, but it can prevent you from being unhappy.

No money can not buy you happiness.

Yes it can.

But you don't necessary need money to be happy.

of course it can, what a stupid question

Only temporary happiness. :)

I have always wondered this, I would just love to have lots and lots of money. But It can also ruin relations in the family having so much money. I think in the short term, yes. But in the long term no.
There are a lot of people out there who have lots of money, and are very lonely people. I think it just makes someone more unhappy than they were orignally were.

No. People think it can. If people have watched The Secret Millionaire, you'll see some of the millionaires aren't that happy, whereas some of the poor people are happy.

Not LITERAL happiness, but yeah course it can. Give a hobo a grand and they'll be ecstatic

You know what they say: "You know who you're real friends are once you're weighed down with cash", and I totally agree with that. :thumbs:

nope it cant
i'd much rather be poor and happy than rich and unhappy money is only a tempory fix for unhappiness

Yeah, it can.

I think so. You don't need to have money to be happy, obviously, but I think people are much happier with money than without it; if you see what I mean.

Money doesn't buy you happiness . . .

. . . but it helps!

Money can't buy you happiness,no way.

It would be great to be rich,you could buy loads of clothes and concert tickets and so on but you can't buy love,friendship and everything thats important in life.

right now at this time i think it can i mean i would love to buy what i want on that day instead of saving up

No it cant... but then again... money can make you happy!

Yes, yes it can.

Agreed. The material aspects of life don't make you truly happy.

Toothpaste makes me VERY happy.

Money can buy you peace of mind - which for some people equates happiness. And I guess if someone is very materialistic, money could buy them happiness.

I don't think money can buy you happiness. You could be the richest person in the world but have no one to share it with.
I just think that money can buy you things to make you look happy to other people.

It would make me happy! but money cant buy it alone

I don't think money alone can make you happy. But it certainly can help.

Hell yes, it allows you to do all the things you normally wouldnt be able to do, so yes I think it can buy happiness.
