   It might not be able to buy happiness, but it sure can help buy some items that might make you happy.  Money isn't everything, but when you don't have enough money, it sure feels like everything.

   Well there is an old proverb in Indian Civillization related to money which I want to share here:
   
   "Dear Money is not God, but its not less than God."
   
   I don't think that you can buy happiness from money but yes for making a life luxurious you need money. That's all i need to say about this.

   No. People who truly find happiness want for not. Including money or material things. They may have them but it doesn't change the core of who they are. Happiness comes from knowing and loving oneself and being able to share that with others. Could part of that be money and generosity? Sure. But, having money or not is not a discerning factor. You can't talk to money, you can't shake moneys hand and you certainly can't make money happy so how would one expect it to make them happy.

   I think that money can buy aspects of happiness. If you really want an iPhone, love isn't going to help cover the cost of one. But if you want happiness in the form of a relationship or friendships, money isn't going to do you any good.
   
   It depends on what kind of happiness you want.

   You're dead for a real long time..you just can't prevent it. So, if money can't buy happiness, I guess I'll have to rent it!-Weird Al Yankovic from the title track to Johnny Dangerously;-)
