Money can help but I think what really brings happiness is how your loved ones are doing in life. If people, especially your children, are having a tough time, then for me, I am not happy. They are always on my mind. I share their victories and defeats as if they are my own.

If you come from comfortable money, it bestows notions of entitlement, if you come from nothing, it may buy the comfort & relief rather than happiness, that’s the continuum.

NO, just things that will maybe make you temporarily happy

Doesn’t buy happiness but can set the stage for opportunities to create it!

I dont think money necessarily buys happiness, but it definitely helps me avoud things I don’tlike- I can choose who to work with and where to spend my time, and avoid the assholes haha

No. Money itself won’t do anything for us. Happiness from money all depends on how it is spent to change the quality of life. In other words, wisdom with money buys happiness. Otherwise, retirees are just a bunch of brats with lots of money. And we all know what will happen to the kids who choose short-term pleasure.
