Money can buy a house but not a home.
Money can buy a bed but not a nice dream.
Money can buy a clock but not time.
Money can buy a book but not knowledge.
Money can buy food but not an appetite.
Money can buy positions but not respect.
Money can buy luxuries but not comforts.
Money can buy blood but not life.
Money can buy medicine but not health.
Money can buy insurance but not safety.

Yes.

For instance, If I lived in a cardboard box, It might be a very nice, homely comfortable box, and I could be very happy, thank you very much.

People can live their lives in pursuit of money hoping to find happiness. But money is not and never will be the key to happiness.

 Money brings caution. Caution brings fear. Fear leads us away from happiness, into the depths of evil. Can we break away from this maladroit destiny of enlightened civilization?

If your of normal height you can still be good at basketball, but it's a lot easier if your taller. And just because your tall doesn't mean your good at basketball. Some tall people suck at basketball period.

No, money can't buy you happiness; but it can help you get there faster with a nice expensive muscle car.

Nothing buys happiness. At best you can rent it for a bit.

This is not always true. Money can help you be happier and live a better life. For example, if you barely had any money, you would have to starve from lack of food and water. Money can buy toys that can sometimes make you happier. Money also can help you fulfill your passion. For example, if you loved to draw, you would need many materials (pencil, eraser, oil pastels, paint, paintbrush, easel, books, etc.). However, if you didn't have enough money to buy all those items, you wouldn't be able to draw anymore, and you would be sad.

It's not that money buys happiness, but rather, access to it certainly can prevent a lot of misery! Rish people can buy all sorts of problems for themselves, while the poor get their problems given to them for free and have no way to resolve them for lack of money. It generally takes money to make money as they say, and most times you can't get a car without a job and you can't get a job without a car, so some money is required unless you want to spend your life under a bridge eating out of a McDonald's dumpster and wearing dirty rags.

Depends on the situation! If your poor, been poor all your life and somehow you hit the lottery for example, happiness can be rented for the time being for some people its everything. Meaning happiness that last forever; with or without money.
