Can it?

Money can absolutely buy you happiness. Many people confuse the concept of happiness with the concept of joy. Joy is an ineffable feeling of peace and satisfaction you can get regardless of money. Happiness, on the other hand, stems from the word happen and it only refers to your pleasant reaction to a favorable "happenstance" (old way of saying circumstance).

So, yes, OF COURSE, money can buy you happiness. It cannot buy you JOY, and JOY is what counts.

"You know the phrase 'money can't buy happiness?' That phrase should end with 'just kidding.' Money can buy you a waverunner and have you ever seen anyone frown on a waverunner?"

With money you can buy things that are fun or amusing or even just comfortable, and those things can make you happy, at least by my standards of happiness.

It can buy you a false sense of happiness, but true happiness, no.

Money can not buy you happiness there's no way first of all you will never now if people like you cause you have cash in you pocket or because you're you.

You see my grandparents have a lot of money so yeah my family gets a lot from them but I don't go bragging about it I would rather be poor and have some friends then be rich and never know who the true ones are.

I find that I'm happyer just hanging with my boyfriend walking around then going out and doing different stuff that cost money all the time. My boy friend has no clue that I'm pretty much rich but I don't feel like he needs to know either

Money cant buy you happiness it can make you happy for a short time but once the money is gone your not happy. And you will always be wanting more money or you will buy something that you are happy with then find something else that you think will make you happier but in the end it still don't make you happy

True love cannot be bought with money. You have to find it yourself... People claim to have bought it with money but you cant buy how you feel about somebody. For example if you pay for a hooker and fall in love with her it's your emotions that make you fall in love, not the fact that you have paid her

It can buy objects. Not emoticons or affection. Sure it may help break the ice. But if you are a boring, spiteful or just generally a horrible person to be around then you have no chance.
