Can money really makes us happy?

In my days of Working i dropped a verse about Money "The love of Money is the Root Of all Evil"

If you use money to buy freedom, you'll be happy. Freedom to spend with your friends and family, freedom to buy whatever you want. If you buy stuffs ( cars, big house, ... etc ) that you can't afford your trading your freedom to money.

that's true... others say, you can't buy happiness. But then when you buy things you love, it makes you happy dba? haha. Pero like what other's say, too much of everything is bad. So jab jab lang. wag masyadong gahaman.. :)

No. Money cant buy happiness. I know some people that has a plenty of money but not happy at all. Sometimes rich people want a simple life even just for one day because having a lot of money has many complications.

Money is to store your value for future use. It brings you services and goods but you cannot buy happiness with money. Some people should discriminate that money can buy things that will make you happy but happiness is not acquired by paying its price.

I sink money dont rise me happy. I only need money, :

1. Buy food
2. Pay rent
3. Save little amout to holiday.

I believe happiness has nothing to do with materialistic things. Money surely doesn’t buy happiness

Money can makes me happy. But , this is not my first choice. Because my complete and happy big family is my happiness. I know you know. We can buy material things that makes us happy, we can use money to buy foods, shelters, tuitions, and that's makes us happy, right? I don't want to be a hypocrite. But I know how to use money, i use it because I need it, that's it. There is always a big difference between Loving money and using money because we need it.

Money may still make people happy. Without it, we cannot buy things that will make us happy. Like foods, accessories or clothes. Still, we need to be practical in using money and be a wise person for us not to be attracted to do a bad move using money. Sometimes, being too much happy with money can bring anyone into addiction that they will do anything to have more money even if it affects others. So always think on the outcome and think twice when using and handling money.

Money allows us to meet our basic needs—to buy food and shelter and pay for healthcare. Meeting these needs is essential, and if we don’t have enough money to do so, our personal wellbeing and the wellbeing of the community as a whole suffers greatly. We all have a responsibility to work towards a society everyone has access to adequate food, shelter, and healthcare.

Beyond meeting our basic needs, as Tom Rath suggests in his book, Wellbeing, “money can increase our short-term happiness by giving us more control over how we spend our time.” For example, it can give us the option to live closer to work, work fewer hours, and spend more time on leisure activities with family and friends. Money can be used to make our lives easier.

But the fact is that most of us don’t use money to buy more free time. Instead, we spend it on more expensive possessions.

Money is just a tool, how you use it will decide whether it bring you happiness or sadness. Just like a knife, it can be used to prepare food or kill people but it all depends on the one who use it to decide.

happiness is not in the money. but unfortunately it is necessary to be able to pay for our basic needs-
