Yes, temporary happiness.

I agree with the last poster. Yes, temporary happiness, but not permanent.

Money can't buy you happiness. I'd say happiness is found in other things such as finding peace in yourself and being content with things.

I think money can buy things that can contribute to your happiness, but really there has to be something more than money making you happy to build on. (Not sure that made sense. Need sleep.)

no. It is true that to be happy is a good thing. But you can't buy it.

Money can contribute towards it, but it just can't buy it if it isn't there already. Happiness, overall, comes from within a person. You can't buy it, you can't pray for it, beg for it, or ask for it from anyone else, earthly, heavenly or supernaturally. Happiness takes will and effort and use of energy and you have to be willing to make attitude adjustments and reprogram yourself, many times reprogramming yourself counter to how society wants you to be programmed. Being unhappy does not take any effort, and besides, hey, everybody's doin' it and it makes for better poetry, doesn't it? Hahahaha!

well some people are very rich but not happy and some people are very poor but very happy. so i think its how you view things. Money can solve some problems but not all. Money also can cause lots of problems and unhappiness. But i feel happy having money in my purse and bank!!

At a certain extent, having money is important to support you and to maintain a balance in your life. But having too much of something is bad. Having enough money is practical and it can lead you to achieve many things that you want in life if you know how to work hard for it and you know how to save money and balance everything, but if for instance, you became successful and your still unhappy, then it means that you need to look inside yourself. I agree with the previous posters. If your happy about yourself even though the situation may seem hard, you’ll manage. Yes, it is all about having a positive attitude that things will work out. Laugh at your problems and be happy. That’s one of the reason we feel great when we’ve accomplished something. We learn to appreciate the value of things.

Money will buy you means of happiness; houses, charity donations, college tuitions for your children, material thinfs for your family. But it can't buy you the peace of mind, contented spirit. Only God can give you that when you go to Heaven.

I think happiness starts with the person. I agree with you that money can not buy the peace of mind. I think its all about the attitude of a person toward a given situation.

I think that if you are in the right frame of mind, that money can deffinetely contribute a great deal to happiness.
Say that you're generally an optimistic person, but you experience problems in your life such as the stress gained from having no money and trying to make ends meet. A goodly amount of money could turn your life completely around, and while you do have to love yourself, and believe in yourself, and work to be an optimust... the money can make all of your material and worldly problems float away... giving you ample time to care for your spiritual well-being.
I think that too much of the time we are with-held from growth by worrying and stressing over trivial every-day matters that come naturally to a person who is not wealthy enough to rid themselves from the bulk of their problems.

Money can't buy happiness.
It can, however, make miserable a bit easier to tolerate.
But I think that lack of money can cause depression. If someone has enough money to live comfortably and there is no stress to pay bills, then happiness is easier to find.

It could be the means of the product you buy, but no, not directly.
