I asked this question on another forum, but I'm always curious to see what everyone thinks about this subject, especially since we all come from different backgrounds.
Do you think that having money is the key to happiness? No more worries about where the next meal is coming from, paying the bills, etc. It certainly takes some of the stress out of life.
Or do you think that having money can be a negative? We've still seen rich people struggle with depression, heartbreak, and substance abuse issues. Sometimes, having the money and connections can lead to demise. Maybe some celebrities would still be alive if they had never become rich.

I think that money can't buy some of the best things in life. Can't bring back our loved ones, or buy real love, etc. At the same time, I think life is stressful and uncomfortable if you don't have enough money.

What does everyone else think?
 
I would say it can't 'buy happiness', but it sure can help prevent worry and stress which could prevent some sadness.
Having enough to be comfortable and do what you like will get you to the equilibrium

Of course not but money can provide you with food, shelter and things but true happiness does not have a price tag associated with it,
 
While money can ease stress and provide comfort, it doesn't guarantee happiness. Wealth can't replace deeper sources of fulfillment, like relationships and well-being. Financial security matters, but happiness is multifaceted

Money may bring stability and comfort.
It provides opportunities and experiences.
It does not, however, ensure fulfillment.
Intangibles are frequently the source of true happiness.
Balance is essential in all aspects of life.
