Having money doesn’t always equate to being happy. A person can have a very reasonable amount of wealth and still live a miserable life; happiness most of the time translates to being content with what a person has. When a person is very wealthy and still feels like they are not as wealthy as they want to be, they remain unhappy.
Money indeed answers all things, but sometimes the love of money brings only destruction. Having money to meet your needs may feel okay at a time, but doesn’t guarantee that a person will be happy because of that alone.
From the definition of happiness, which is a state of well-being, contentment and joy, one can argue that there is a certain amount of money that can buy their own happiness. Being that, having a certain amount of money may get them to the level of well-being and contentment, which will bring joy along.
The importance of money is to meet people's needs, and what makes people unhappy most is lack. Happiness goes beyond having; however, a person may have money and still not be contented with how much money they have, and because of this, that person is unhappy and ends up looking for more. Rather than living a happy life, the person lives a life of worries. The case of money is never-ending, and if a person puts it in their mind that money is the price of their happiness, such a person should know that the case goes on and on and has no ending.
If money could buy happiness, the rich would be the happiest of humans living on earth, while the poor would remain poor, as the rich will buy all the happiness for themselves, leaving the poor to live unhappy. In reality, a lot of the rich ones are either depressed or lonely and, in some cases, even suicidal, while you see the poor ones struggling to survive with smiles on their face.
Happiness is contentment and cannot be bought with money, even when others may argue that a person with a lot of money and remains unhappy simply knows not where to shop.
