I do agree on this matter. We cannot buy happiness despite having lots of money in our pockets. But then, we still need it to survive in this world. It is considered one of the basic necessities in life now. Perhaps we can edit the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs about this claim.

I believe that money can't make you happy, only jealousy and the will to get more and more so that you can boast that you have money. I am not impressed to see how people even go to war just for money.

Yes I believe in this saying that money can not buy happiness because even if you are rich you can also lack something that you would want to have which money can not buy for examole love ,you can not force someone to love you and also you can't live long even if you are rich you will also die just like a poor man

Money cannot actually buy happiness. This life is all about perception, how you see the world, your desires been content with what  you have. It doesn't mean you won't strive for more but at the end of the day they are things money can't actually buy.

We have a lot of depressed rich folks and we also have a lot of happy middle class or poor folks also so it depends on how you see life from your own perspective

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy some things that can make you and people around you happy. Remember the NEEDS and WANTS. Do you think that you and your family can live and smile while suffering from hunger? Of course not. You NEED FOOD. To buy food you NEED MONEY.

That is easy to say if you are actually fairly well-to-do. If you really are destitute, life is bound to be completely miserable and access to only a small income must bring what counts as happiness under those circumstances.

Or to give a more flippant answer, as Spike Milligan did, one could say that money brings you a far more enjoyable form of misery.

Not 100% agree. Sormetimes a something joy need money to get it. Like travelling, maybe you really wish to visit Norway to see auroras with your loving partner, you will need money to go there if you live at another side of the earth. Or when your mother is getting sick, you need money to pay hospital bill.

Happiness is an emotion a feeling you get emotionally its not a materialistic object that you can buy at a corner store so no money cannot buy happiness its something that natural comes to you.

I sort of partially believe in it. Since my happiness if not in any materialistic thing but atleast lies in the wellness of my family and any fool can demonstrate that how important is money in real world for anybody's wellness. If you want go to hospitals for treatment you nedd money, if you want medidate you need money(since there are meditation tutorials), if you want to travel and just explore life you need money, even if you just want to be alone and do nothing you atleast need enough money to buy food, clothes and have a roof over your head. If you want any new sort of exprience like under water diving you need money. Even if you want respect in society you need money, if you want to keep your lovel ones & family safe you need money. There's a price tag on everything in today's world. So MONEY IS INDEED IMPORTANT. But that doesn't mean if you have money you have everything yeah you heard it right. People who may have may not have the time or energy to use it. Time ia s very important aspect of life and when people like millionares spend their whole day in making some good amount of money they don't get happy when they have it at thevend of the day as time my dear friend slips away and their whole life slips away in working in front of their eyes, so they do have all the luxuries but they aren't with their lives. They have became the machines.

Happiness isn't any big sort of thing you can get happy but just lying under the starry sky watching the stars and the moon they can make you happy (they do make me happy). So this statement is controversial. And remeber balance out everything in life.

No, I do not believe in it. As a person who grew up in a poor family, the first reason why there is always quarreling and fighting is that there is no money. There is no food to eat. There is no money to pay bills. There is no money to buy the basic things that we need in life. Even if I was told that I only know material things and money can't buy happiness, I will not agree for me having money will help to secure you and your family's well-being.

Research has shown that there is a correlation between wealth and happiness up to a certain point. Generally, people who have their basic needs met and a certain level of financial stability report being happier than those who are struggling to make ends meet. However, beyond a certain point, the link between money and happiness becomes weaker. This suggests that while money can certainly bring some level of happiness, it is not the only factor and may not bring long-term happiness on its own. It's important to remember that happiness comes from a variety of sources, including personal relationships, meaningful work, and a sense of purpose, and that these things are often more important than material wealth.

The saying "money can't buy happiness" reflects the idea that material wealth alone doesn't guarantee emotional well-being. While money can provide comfort, security, and access to experiences, true happiness often involves factors like relationships, personal fulfillment, and a sense of purpose. It's a complex and subjective matter, as individual values and priorities vary. Money can contribute to aspects of a good life, but it's not the sole determinant of happiness.

I don't have individual convictions or sentiments. Nonetheless, the truism "cash can't purchase bliss" mirrors a typical point of view that material abundance alone isn't adequate for generally prosperity. While cash can give solace, security, and admittance to assets, bliss is frequently affected by variables like connections, reason, wellbeing, and individual satisfaction. It's a complicated and emotional matter, and individuals' perspectives on the connection among cash and joy can fluctuate.

Yes I do believe in this saying that money can't buy happiness. You can never buy love with money. There are things money can't buy. Money is necessary in our life but we can't buy happiness with money.
