I feel money can not buy happiness on it own it can be a major force in finding happiness. Money can buy stability and peace with yourself. With the worries of living paycheck to paycheck gone it allows you to Focus On the things that truly can make you happy. Love , marriage , health , relationships with friends , family , and spiritual fulfillment. Money can relieve the pressures of everyday life. But money alone can never by happiness. It’s like a car that can help get you to the place you need to be. Money without the other thing is lonely and I would rather have love and affection in my life then any amount of money. Loneliness is the worst thing I have ever expected.
What is happiness? That's what you need to address to answer the question.
What money can do, unambiguously, is remove many (not all, but many) of the things that cause UNhappiness; if you define being happy as simply lacking those things, then yes, it can buy it- mostly, at least. If you define it as something more, then kinda- it won't do it on its own, but it'll remove obstacles and leave you more free to pursue what it is that makes you happy.
"Wealth distribution promotes happiness!" ... but when you're ready with your daily bugs portion you should work 12 h in your wage cage and you will own nothing and, this will make you happy. XD WEF (Wold Economic Forum) and Claus Schwab are sure about that.
I think it buys pleasure. Like say you buy a beautiful purse. We will be so excited and thrilled you bought it but that's only temporary. That purse can't fix any of your problems. It can help with security. Like you won't have to worry about going broke or not having insurance. Unless you're an idiot that gambles it away or something. But even then it's not going to fill you're emptiness you have in your soul. Only God is true love and he brings joy this world can't!
It can buy happiness but it can not cover everything! But I am sitting here in my warm home, behind my pc with a delicious danio drink in hand all cozy... that all costs money. That kind of happiness I can buy!
Accomplishing things can cost money too. Travelling, working out, learning a new skill like cooking or a language.
Obviously, money empowers you to do whatever you love to do. A new car, the latest iPhone, DSLR, a luxury car, a yacht, a jet, a world tour, sex with your favorite person, or helping the poor enough to change their life, all this stuff is possible with money.

i would be very happy because then i can finally get 1 out of the 3 things that i desire in life that i have been wanting for a long time. and i wouldn't even use all of the $2 million to get it... like literally i'd only be using 20% of it, if that.
Wish I got that 2 million. I could buy some happiness, by paying off some things and setting up a college account for the kids. If you aren't happyn money won't buy you happiness for the long term, just the short term instant gratification. But paying off a house and freeing up some bills, can bring a little more piece of mind, and then that can be happiness
No, money can't buy happiness. Money can buy you products, services not people. Happiness is a state of mind. You may be rich or poor but you should know how to be happy, to control your emotions and remain mentally stable. Problems and obstacles will come and go.
People you once thought were friends then expect help too. You can become a target of crime. You lose out having to pay taxes unless you know how to hide it. And some..
No. Money can alleviate sources of sadness, anger, and stress. It can buy or allocate food, entertainment, and other items and resources that can facilitate happiness. But happiness itself is up to the person.
Let me say that Everything has its price, nothing come gor free. Except love XD but love is enough in the period where everyone grows and achieve new things and etc? No, love is not enough, and if u stuck only kn love, u No grow, no travel and etc, u will be u happy. XD so money can buy happyness. Money can buy almost Everything.
More that money can bring security and peace of mind to someone. From that freedom that money can provide that person can be more able to pursue things that make them happy.
I believe in todays era money can buy everything even happiness and people will automatically get attracted towards someone rich and influential they want to be friends with such a person in a realistic world out there money is everything
2 million could stop the worry of rent or mortgages and petty bills. Being poor is horrible from experience and very stressful. You are enslaved to employers who treat you like crap. Having the things you need and good family's is most important of all. Having huge amounts of money does not lead to spiritual or relationship fulfillment. Actually It often pushes them further away. Money becomes like a drug and all you do once it has got hold of you is enslave you.

I think that the lack of money can make people pretty miserable so being wealthy can fix that. Material things really don;t make people happy. A better car or a fancy vacation might be fun but in the long run it will not make you happy.
Home > Society & Politics > Questions > Recently, a study was conducted in which 200 people were given $2 million on whether to buy happiness. Do you think money can buy happiness?

But Claus is exempt from this? lol
No, you are happy when you no longer need to worry about money, so when you no longer need live paycheck to paycheck.
Once you live a life with no worries you are happy and any more money doesn't mean you are more happy.
Worries makes your life unhappy, and money often gets rid of these worries.
No but it'll certainly make life easier and less stressful

Love isn't one of them. That one costs time.
Yes, but most individuals who get a large windfall are often worse off financially after a few years than they were before they received the money.
