Money can not really buy happiness by itself. But having no money is no guarantee that you can be happy also. So what does it mean then? It is all up to us how we can use the money we have to promote happiness by building our lives, that of our family and the community we are in.

We are living in a world where you need money to survive not unless you resigned to live in an enclosed community where you produce all of your needs maybe you won't any money but still I would say that is nearly impossible as no one can live without the help of others as we are interdependent. Or you copy the Amish way of living. Search for it on the net.

Money is amoral meaning to say it is not bad nor good in itself...but it is how we use that money that can define us whether we are doing it the way it should be or we are already deviating from the path of a good life. No one can judge whatever we do but ultimately at the end we can be judged by history and if you believe in a deity higher than us then we can also be judged in the life after.
