Ok so maybe not true "happiness" (whatever "happiness" means...), but lets break all of this down. Money, I think, can do alot for someone, a couple, or a family. I'm not talking about millions, tens of millions, I'm talking "just enough" to make it.
When someone says, "Money can't buy happiness", it must be put into perspective. Lets say the average American family is living paycheck to paycheck, hoping to make ends meet, praying that a furnace doesn't go out or that nothing happens to a loved one that would require medical bills, for example. What would an extra $1,000.00 a month do for this average American family?
"Peace of Mind"
I'm not saying that peace of mind alone is happiness. What I'm attempting to say here is that peace of mind is a stress reliever, a pain reliever, a way to dismiss a little burden.
Stress = nothing good.
I know when I am stressed out because of bills, expectations, financial burdens etc., I'm not happy. I get anxious, nervous, unpleasant.
Money alone cannot provide happiness... but I think it can provide peace of mind, and THAT can lead to being happy, being comfortable, and the obtaining ability to enjoy life...
