1.The question of whether money buys happiness has been debated for centuries. Money is often seen as a key to a comfortable life, yet happiness is a deeply personal and emotional state that cannot be measured solely by wealth. While money can contribute to happiness by meeting basic needs and providing security, it does not guarantee long-term fulfillment or emotional well-being.
Depending on individual definition of happiness; If it is material acquisition, yes Money can buy happiness but not joy and peace.
Smiles, if it does I don’t think we would be having this discussion. But it surely makes life easier.

I agree with you
