Its like saying 'can you give me your name?', I of course can and have the ability to give you my name - but whether I actually give you my name is up to me.
so yes money has the ability (theoretically) to give you happiness, but it depends on money itself.

Having money just gives you more choices, I wouldnt say having lots of it will guarantee you happiness.

[Jamsebob]

Depends. If you live below the poverty line in an LDC then yes

Yes it can, but also it can make others around me happy too.

[Sheep]

definitely, the saying "money can't buy you happiness" is silly

[Rymd]

The money can offer you material things.. It contributes to our well being, but it can't buy us happiness. As they say:" the best things in life are free". Happiness is something inside our soul.

And about jobs that people choose in order to be rich, i think thats a hug mistake, because they think if someone they know has become rich because of this profession so anyone can be rich thanks to this job. We have to find out what we are really passionate about and then make it our full time job and we will be happy, successful and rich .

would you rather be on your deathbed having fulfilled and full and happy life or a person insanely rich but miserable.

These are both polar opposites and neither is guaranteed based on your job or pay. Someone with no money can be just as unhappy as somebody with lots of money and so on..

I would like money just because it is something to aim for, something to get me out of bed in the morning and something I would feel good about if I achieved. I don't really care about a nice house and car. Ideally Id like to achieve something that would make a real difference to world and that I would be remembered for but statistically its so unlikely I don't think it is worth pursuing. I don't think money guarantees happiness but I believe work is good for the mind.

Money can help you procure and seek for more money. Nothing else, nothing more.

[Expertsfromindia]

money is a thing..happiness is feelings...........just turn on your feelings for +ve...money has no connection...it just for buy things..form that we hope get happiness

[jennaz77]

Most people who think money can buy happiness have never been rich and have never been very happy.

[College_Dropout]

It removes a few problem, but the are things money cant buy.

[Luffy.]

Yes money can buy me happiness because if I have money than I can eat healthy food and I can have my own room and I can go to a university.

[udot99]

I can sell you happiness, message me your bank account details

[recurring500]

To an extent

[shaun12345]

Money can buy you bacon, and that's pretty close

This is silly - what if you were crying because your mum died, would you really give a damn? I wouldn't.

My thoughts exactly.... How could such a thought even occur

[kaneboy]

Money buys freedom.

Does freedom make you happy?

[Lunch_Box]

It helps.
