I think money can't buy you happiness but you can use money as a way to lead you to something that can make you happy. There are some people that think having more money is happiness for them, but I, personally, disagree with that because life is not all about being rich. I rather be a happy, less rich person, than a rich, sad, stressed person.
ReplyDeleteI do believe the money can't buy happiness and the it can be true if you use it in the correct way. Money is always helpful for other people how needs it. Or by giving something special to someone. All of these things can and may you happy. Money given to other people can make you feel happy.
ReplyDeleteIf anybody wants to become happier, you could always give me a computer or $1000. I think money can buy happiness, no matter who you spend it on. I also agree that having more money is better, and that with more money you can give gifts, buy experiences, and buy super expensive things.
ReplyDeleteMaybe money hasn't always bought happiness, but you need money to have all your basic needs provided for. Shelter, food, security, all the necessities. You need money for that, you can't even think about emotional needs until your carnal needs are filled. So money doesn't buy happiness, but since you're probably not happy when dead, it does give a good base to start out with.
