Money Can Buy You Happiness
One argument in favour of this question is that if you are rich, you spend less time working when you reach a certain stage of wealth. You may work harder than others, but for a short amount of time. When you reach this peak of wealth, you may not need to work to sustain yourself or your family, and the money that you have can support your ideal happy lifestyle. This means you can spend more time with your family and friends and doing your favourite hobbies without the stress of work haunting you.
If you do not have this substantial wealth, you will undoubtedly face hardships and be in constant apprehension about your financial situation. You will constantly have to be working to support your family and even then, some may be barely hanging on to their homes and food with the jobs they work. Taxes and rent plague many into massive.
How Money Affects Our Bodies
I do not believe that money can buy us happiness regarding how our bodies work. Happiness is mainly the effect of many hormones, such as dopamine and serotonin, racing through our body.
Happiness may be much easier to find for some compared to others. The chemical imbalances in our bodies may cause one person to be easily given this content feeling while another would take longer for the body to give our bodies this sensation of happiness.
In my opinion, money cannot ensure happiness. Yes, things that make our hormones to surge through our brain can be purchasable items, but there are other things that have a far stronger effect on our bodies. These are not materialistic things such as love and a serious relationship. I believe that a relationship would bring much greater happiness compared to any materialistic object.
What Brings Us Happiness?
What are things that bring us happiness? Some may say drugs, clothes, cars, etcetera. If we exclude these things that we buy with happiness, having money itself is a stimulant for happiness. Many would find great pleasure in holding a wad of cash. We do not need money to buy us happiness, but knowing that we have the money to buy all these things brings bliss to some people
I feel that there is a baseline for happiness. That baseline can alter on a daily basis. Perhaps one morning you wake up in a particularly gloomy mood, somebody may offer you a cup of coffee which would normally cheer you up, but the baseline is so low that this small gesture just doesn't bring happiness. Possibly, an expensive, materialistic item will cheer you up, just because you know that this object has a big price tag attached to it.
I believe that we are as happy as we make ourselves out to be. There are some people who are living chaotic lives, living in a council flat with three kids and barely paying the bills, but they manage to say, "I am happy." They may be living by a thread, but they make life as happy as they can. They do not attain happiness from these materialistic things; they see greater happiness in milestones in their life. Their kid may be graduating; they find this a much happier moment than if they were offered a nice home to live in.
If you take anything away from this post, it is that you should try to make your life happy. Do not rely on money to make your life happy for you.
Thats right! Money is not everything, althougt everything need money 😊

I've been poor for a long time, and I suppose it might be a chicken vs. egg thing, but I often feel down because of my financial situation.
If you've heard of Jordan Peterson, he says that there are two kinds of happiness: the happiness associated with excitation and the happiness that comes from freedom from suffering. Romance will give you the first kind, but not necessarily the second. That one is a bit more difficult, and to do it all the way you have to meditate quite a bit.
I liked the way you put your thoughts and explained it beautifully. But somehow I disagree that Money can't buy happiness.
I am a firm believer that Money can buy happiness too
I have covered the entire topic in details in my recent post on steemit itself How I Bought Happiness
One thing that makes people not to find a thread of happiness is stress. Money can never buy us happiness, but it can reduce our stress. Sadly, because to fulfill basic necessities, money will always be a imperative factor in our societies. That's how we've made the world.
But fortunately for people, happiness is not a general concept. It's custom perpective tailored with the personality of every human being.
Feeding the poor people with wishful thinking isnt the solution either.
Agree tho, that money is as a tool, not and end on itself.
Hey arckrai i like this article in my opinion money will not solve all our problems but its be the one of the part in our daily life

Oscar Wilde said" When I was young I thought that money was everything but now that I'm old, I know that I was right". Some people who were born rich do not appreciate it but people like me can see how much good money can do in the world.
Money isn't and can never be the only route to happiness
happiness is when you get to do what you want to do when ever you want to do it. In simple terms money will assist in helping one achieve happiness. The more money the easier to achieve. Do not get me wrong, money does not equal happiness. If one has more it eases the process of obtaining happiness.
So true!
