Money can buy temporary happiness but it wont last forever like most things, Money just happens to be an example of that!

The only ppl who say “money can’t buy u happiness” just don’t know how to use it.

Having money can allow you to live your life without stressing about if ur going to be in debt bc u had to go to the emergency room.

If u have enough money to buy food for your family.

If u can give ur kids and/or ur self a happy life full of traveling, a good education, vacations and stability.

To name a few examples.

I personally don’t want luxury brands and ridiculously ginormous houses.

I just want enough to be able to enjoy the one life that I get in this world.

This!
People who say "money can't buy you happiness" tend to talk about buying fancy luxury things like clothes or cars. Having enough money to take care of myself and the people I care about without having to stress would make me happy.

Also, you can use your money for things that genuinely make you happy in the long run, such as donating to a cause you support. If I were rich, I'd have a huge home for stray animals to care for them, possibly finding their forever homes, and if they don't I can care for them for the rest of their lives. With enough money it could even outlive me and become a legacy.

I think yes
because you can buy what you want and won't have any money issues
also you can still form amazing friendships with money so it doesn't ruin that it just makes it harder
this is coming from someone who is from a family who is very tight on money so that might be where that opinion comes from but idk
I think half of it is about knowing what to do with money

imo, the answer likely depends on ur social position.

if your poor & have a lot of issues that would be marginally better with money; access to that money would likely provide that person with happiness even if it doesn’t take away all problems (I think the increase in quality of life would cause someone in this circumstance to say they are happy)

if your rich, the answer is no bc whatever problems u currently have which plague ur life cannot be solved with money (or u already would have), so access to more money likely wouldn’t affect their happiness

however, it all depends how someone defines happiness and what they consider of value in dictating their happiness (i.e., love, connection, understanding can’t be bought but those are valuable to the happiness of many)

While money can't buy happiness, it can buy things that will make you happy.

It does
Money buys stuff that makes me happy so yes money can buy happiness

yes and no. yes because buying nice things or paying bills in advance generally makes you happier because you're less stressed over it. no because you should be able to find happiness without needing to buy things

tell it !

If it can buy me a ticket to Italy, then yes 😭✋

Sorry this is so long and u dont have to read it but this is what i think abt that question:
Money cannot buy happiness, but it can buy us products and services that make us happy, for the most part of our lives. It can help us in purchasing the basic necessities of life that will surely make us happy. Have you ever seen or come across a homeless person struggling to fill their empty stomach, happy?

We live in an age where the pursuit of wealth is often conflated with the pursuit of well-being. From glittering advertisements to cultural narratives, the message is relentless: affluence equals freedom, and freedom promises happiness. Yet, countless cautionary tales and the quiet despair behind gilded doors reveal a profound, heart-wrenching truth: money, the most powerful tool of transaction, utterly fails to purchase the deepest emotional needs of the human spirit. While wealth can build a comfortable life, it cannot construct a soul's contentment, for happiness is not a commodity to be acquired, but a state of being cultivated through experiences and inner peace.

The material gifts of money are powerful, but their emotional returns are tragically brief. This phenomenon, often called the hedonic treadmill, ensures that the initial burst of euphoria from a new purchase—a luxurious car, an opulent home—fades with disheartening speed. The human heart quickly adapts to its elevated circumstances, mistaking fleeting pleasure for enduring joy. We become prisoners of escalation, chasing an ever-receding horizon of "more," only to find that the ache of emptiness persists beneath layers of expensive possessions. The true sadness lies in recognizing that the objects we acquire are merely distractions from the internal work required to find peace, leaving us richer in things but poorer in spirit.

Genuine, resonant happiness draws its sustenance from sources that are fundamentally non-negotiable and un-sellable. Consider the profound comfort of belonging, the unwavering loyalty of a friend, or the unconditional acceptance of a family member. These deep connections, forged in shared vulnerability and mutual respect, are the very bedrock of emotional resilience. Money can purchase attendance at a social event, but it cannot buy intimacy; it can fund elaborate vacations, but it cannot manufacture the shared laughter and silent understanding that makes a moment sacred. The most cherished memories—the quiet dawn with a loved one, the triumphant feeling of fulfilling a difficult purpose, the unexpected kindness of a stranger—are always paid for in the currency of presence, effort, and authentic emotion.

Furthermore, the relentless, often isolating, chase for financial security frequently demands a heavy toll on the very things that grant life meaning. Time, our most finite and precious resource, is sacrificed at the altar of ambition. Relationships fray under the pressure of constant work. The anxiety of maintaining a high-net-worth life, the fear of loss, and the paranoia about who is a friend versus who is a beneficiary, introduce profound emotional turbulence. Success achieved alone feels hollow; it is a victory celebrated in an echoing, silent mansion. The emotional depth we crave is eroded by transactional thinking, replacing selfless giving with cost-benefit analyses, poisoning the well of unconditional love and true generosity.

Ultimately, the inability of money to buy happiness is not a philosophical conjecture, but a tragic law of human psychology. Wealth is a wonderful buffer against physical hardship, but a terrible substitute for inner fulfillment. The peace that endures comes from aligning our actions with our deepest values, recognizing our own self-worth independent of a bank balance, and nurturing the relationships that define our humanity. The true wealth of a life is measured not in dollars, but in the intangible currencies of love, purpose, and emotional connection—a fortune available to all who choose to look inward, rather than outward.

Honey you need to write lectures for college students! That’s amazing!

😂😂😂😂thx!

Yes, because money buys me books, and books make me happy :)

(in all seriousness nothing can buy happiness because it comes from the situations you choose to make the best of)

Technically, yes. Money can buy me what I need to be happy like a home and food and water and stuff. Also money can be donated towards helping to make other people happy, so if u think about it, money is a huge source of happiness that you can give to others and not js have for urself.
Also, if I get money for whatever reason, ofc imma feel happy gang. Means I can go out w my friends or buy books.

yes i would say it does these days. people want to be wearing/ owning whats in style and cool things they see on social media and thats how you gain popularity. a lot of these clothes and trending things are expensive soooo
idrk tho this is just how i view it

Money can buy any material thing which is a very big factor in happiness. At least you don't have to worry about finances and getting by. Although, you do need emotional connections with people to be genuinely happy that money can't get you.

Regrettably, your list of what money can buy is a bit lacking.
Firstly, you can use the money to pay for college or university, or to start your own business. In other words, you can buy your future.
Secondly, if you become seriously ill, you can pay for medication and treatment. In this case, you will be buying health and, if necessary, your life.
Thirdly, you can buy freedom. When a person has money, he or she can travel and see the world. When a person is poor, he or she is not truly free. If you can't afford a plane ticket, you can't travel, which limits your freedom. Isn't that right?
Moreover, money can buy memories and even respect in some cases.
For instance, you could spend money on a trip to Egypt to see the pyramids. You will undoubtedly have extraordinary memories of this trip, and that means money bought those memories for you.
As for respect, wealthy individuals who donate to charity and fund scientific research are usually highly respected by others, and I believe they deserve that respect.

I think so too.

No, in the end whatever you buy wether it be: a phone, or a new book, or a car, or whatever, anything you want. It will never be enough. Eventually you’ll want something new, because you have to fill that gap. Say you break your brand new phone. You’d be so sad right?! But then after you get a new one you won’t even care anymore. The ONLY thing that will ever bring you true joy is Jesus. If you disagree ok, but I’m telling you this is the truth. When your life is over (I’m not trying to be dark and depressing, just speaking the truth) will anything you did matter? Sure you got that new car, you bought that new phone, but in the end what value did any of that have? Here’s a hint it didn’t have any. That’s for listening, and if you have questions, or just want to know more of why I think this way feel free to PM me. ;)

you can have happiness on either end of the spectrum for sure. sadly, the world we exist in makes it almost impossible for poor people (speaking from my experience at least).

with money you can:

- have access to further education
- have a comfortable living state
- access to toiletries
- not have to worry about bills
- having clean clothes
- access to fresh food (especially when it comes to fruit and vegetables as transport to stores is also something to worry about)
- christmas, birthdays etc


the list goes on and on really.
i acknowledge also being rich probably comes with its own set of struggles but when you don’t have to worry about the basic means to live, you are far closer to happiness.

I think it really depends on each person and how they define “happiness.” For many, it’s about having money, being able to travel and see new places, owning something of their own, getting an education, having food, and financial stability. I mean, nowadays, without economic stability you can barely live — you can’t really have anything. That’s just how the world works now. Even if your idea of happiness is just family, love, peace, or having kids, or whatever, but without money you can’t have any of that. Everything’s a transaction now and that's sad

I think money can buy hapinnes, but only temporary. True happiness comes from the love you have for your family, friends, or some things/hobbies that never leave you. Perfume, clothes or even books bought with money can bring you happiness but the happiness is only temporary, that's what I believe in!! And yes, some books really may change your life, but you can't say it's all thanks to money. It's also thanks to how you view it, how it's written and what it means to you.

money is a 100% no towards the journey of happiness.. it will last long, like a really long time, but will not ever fill the hole in our lives. Happiness on earth doesn't last, because eternal happiness can never be paid off.

possibly

Yes, just not realtionship wise. Like my dream is to travel the world and money can buy me that and fufil my dream. But my other MAIN dream is to be famous and yeah money can buy me fame but I wanna work for it myself
