money can make things easier..but make one happy? no, just look at barbara hutton..the woolworth heiress..she spent all her money, trying to buy love and/or friendship..ended up with less than one thousand dollars when she died..

No, having money in no way guarantees happiness. Plenty of rich people have been miserably unhappy.
But they can be miserable in comfort. For example, they can die of a drug overdose in a $500 per night hotel suite instead of in an alley.
My advice is ths: After you're earning enough to be reasonably comfortable, purse happiness, not money. It won't buy happiness.

Money certainly doesn't buy happiness although if you're happy with your life and money is there, I can't say that's a bad thing.

True happiness cannot waver due to wealth or lack of it. If your happiness depends on external things such as money, possessions, and social status then your happiness is false and temporary, wavering due to circumstances. Look at how 'happy' you feel when you buy a brand new CD. You listen to it for a few days or weeks and then, after you tire of it, you go out and seek a new CD that will fill the void and make you 'happy' again. Substitute the words 'car' or 'girlfriend/boyfriend' or 'spouse' for CD and you'll see how our so-called happiness is sometimes controlled by our outer circumstances. If you're genuinely happy then having money or lacking it won't really matter.

Health is far more important than money.

Money can't buy me happiness. But it'll sure as hell buy all the things that make me happy. I forget who said that. But I believe it.
