I know you've had to face a question like this at some point in your life. If that's not the case for you, that's the case for me. Perhaps, the fact that I have an academic background in Finance and some work experience in the field made it easier for me to be faced with such questions a couple of times.
Money holds a value that's very obvious to everyone and for most people, everything they do each day is geared towards exploring ways to increase the money they make. We see the intrinsic value of money and we go far and wide to grow our financial net worth.
Every time I'm faced with the question of; "Can Money Make You Happy?", I try to imagine the alternative of not having money in this present day and time. The alternative of not having money isn't something cool to think about and it's surely not a good thing to experience. Living in poverty reduces the quality of life.
Imagine Parents who want to give their kids quality Education, but they can't even afford to give them decent meals each day. Consequently, they also can't afford the financial requirement it takes to give quality Education to their kid. I'm not even a parent, yet I can imagine the level of sadness that will overwhelm any parent who's placed in that situation.
So, "Yes" is the answer you are looking for. Money can surely make someone happy although it's very important to note that money by itself isn't what makes people happy. For the most part, it is believed that when money gets in the hands of a wise person, it can be used in ways that will improve the quality of life of the person and this will subsequently bring forth happiness.
Having Money, especially a sufficient amount of it, will make it so much easier to take care of your needs and that of those around you. Even if you can be happy when hungry with no idea of where your next meal will come from, gaining wealth will most likely make you happier.
Can someone still be unhappy despite being rich?
You bet! Certain things about life can make someone sad even when the person is incredibly rich. Things like the death of a loved one, depression, and betrayal from someone special. This is what people consider when they say that "Money can't buy happiness".
It shows that someone's happiness is not completely tied to their financial position. It is an emotion and there is more to it than what being rich can provide. However, we can individually weigh the Ups and Downs on a scale and decide for ourselves what we would rather choose.
For me, the alternative which is 'not having money' is something I can fairly imagine and I know it's a rough road to go down. That's why the hustle and bustle of life is on the list of my priorities. I'm relentless in my attempt to build wealth and I believe that an improved wealth can help give me a more improved standard of life.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma.

It is better to be rich than to be poor.yes you can have money and still be unhappy but it's better than being poor and being unhappy.
Atleast with money you can book a vacation, eat whatever you want, drive any car of your choice and afford to take care of hospital bills. Being poor will definitely deprive you of all these and that is miserable pro max
Yes oOoOO. Suffering is already part of life. That's something we can't escape. However, when we have money, it make sit easier to go through some tough situations. At the very least, the money we have will make it easier for us to take care of things that can be solved financially.
Many things are more valuable than money like family, good health, and relationships all these will give happiness without money.
Money can only command respect for one anywhere, once people discover you are a rich man they will always want to respect you.
Money can't give the happiness one needs in life.

It's been very interesting to get a lot of hot takes about people and their view of money. It's refreshing and insightful to read about.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this.
You are welcome 👍
You alone can make yourself happy, money cant probably buy happiness or health so even if it does it will be a short period of time, i love your perspective on this post
#dreemerforlife
Yeah. Money by itself isn't going to make any difference to how happy or unhappy someone can be.
The way we use the money is more important.
Yahhh thats a pretty good way to look at it
Money is very important in life without money no happiness.
this life is not balanced some richest people have this money and they are not happy while people who do not have a quarter of what they have are happy.
I believe that money can not buy happiness and i also believe that there is nothing more can not do in human life either good or bad.
You are correct about everything you've said. The main takeaway is that this life is very complex and everyone is dancing to the tune that life plays for him/her.
Everything will be alright shaa.
My boss, this is a non arguable fact, MONEY BRINGETH HAPPINESS TO THY HOUSEHOLD. just go broke for a week, then you'll understand. Maybe I didn't read the bible well, but I have never seen where a servant of God in the bible lacks money. The trips they embark on is not free yaknow. Money brings happiness ooo. Job's money was taken away from him and you saw the result. He was never happy after the money was taken away but what of when his money came back? You guessed right, he was damn happy.
Money my brother, brings crazy happiness
Hahaha... I like how you said it exactly how it is. We all know the truth and we know how much we can achieve when we have money. Money that is used wisely will always increase our chances of being happy. That's just the fact.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
You're very much correct..
When money is used wisely, there is a higher chance that we will be happy when we grow old but money used foolishly on clubing and related things will only bring about regrets when we grow old.

Money can never make people happy then the richest people in the world would be the happiest. Few people are happy without money.
That's true. People are happy and poor. Some are rich and unhappy. However, there are also a fraction of people who are rich and Happy. We also have those that are poor and unhappy.
It's a complex world out there and Money by itself doesn't really make people happy. However, in the hands of a wise person, money can be used to boost happiness.
Money is one of the most important element of happiness. It's true that money can't buy the happiness but without funny no one can be happy. So only money can't make anyone happy unless they fullfill others criteria of happiness.
That's true. We can't just ignore the importance of Money in their day and time, but it's also necessary to know that money by itself isn't always enough to make people happy.
That's why even when we have money, we need to be wise about the way we use the money. That's the way we can use the money to do things that will give us a happy life.

Life itself goes beyond having wealth but I believe that when you realize that you have fulfillment along the money you have, you will be happy
That's it. There is more to life than the financial gains. However, having very solid finances can maka life so much easier
