    At some point in our lives we have try this notion and its true it doesn't buy happiness, because u always want more and more but then u wonder is it enough? just look at celebrities they spend so much money to make them happy but look at how many are divorce in just a couple months or years sometimes even days. Just like the saying even when ur too smart it doesn't make u a happy person, u find it boring.

    For young couples, they will grow older together (maybe), and years from now, they will look back, and realize that they were the closest, and the happiest during the time that they struggled to make it.

    Believe me when I say that money cannot buy hapiness. I know several wealthy people that are miserable. Yes, you can buy whatever you want, BUT, everyone you see, everyone you meet, and everyone that you know will want your money. It will be the most-thought-about thing about you. When they look at you, they will see dollars.

    I am working for a lady and her husband right now. They are billionaires. They have more guns in their home than anyone that I have ever met. There is a reason for that.

    Christ said, "Verily, I say unto you, that it shall be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into heaven." There was also a reason for this.

    Those two reasons are the same reason. Also a truth told by Christ: "For where a man's treasure is, there his heart is, also."

    Happiness- cant be bought, no use tryin to chase it.

    Money - can buy some other goodies - comfort , luxury ...the works.

    happiness is just a state of mind..and there's pretty much nothing one can consciously do to attain it...In fact, when u r tryin hard to be happy, is when u r least happy.

    What they say about happiness being a butterfly, chase it and its gone, but when u r not trying at all, it might just come and sit on ur shoulder..... is quite true.

    Yes. From where I am, it could certainly buy me out of a lot of misery -- which is pretty close to happiness.

    Personally, no. I'm an incredibly irresponsible person, and given adequate funding, I would have a much greater potential to f*ck up my life permanently.

    It may not buy happiness, but it makes being miserable a lot more bareable.

    it may not buy happiness but you could rent a lot of happiness if you had a lot of money.
