My friend once said to me "Money can buy things that make you happy therefore money can buy happiness"..i believe that anyone can be happy with or without money...think about it...you have a job that doesn't really pay well your always struggling to get food on the table each week...you have a job that pays great money you can provide all you need for your family and yourself but all your energy gets put into not only keeping your job but doing it well...what are you left with both ways your struggle and your family miss out on getting much of your attention money is the main priority in this society today no argument...it really depends on how you look at a situation to weather you can be happy or not...depending on your mental state i suppose but pretty much money does not buy happiness...the thing thats gets you going through the day is what makes you happy your family of course or friends if you were living in an old shack working hard each day for practically nothing at all at the end of the day when you come home and you see your family there seems to be joy spread right through you so money or no money you can be happy....
