Yes money can buy you happiness but material things doesn't make you feel enough or contented. That is the difference that it makes. Those who were born poor would really appreciate it if someone drops a million dollars right out their doorsteps because they got everything figured out how and where to spend it wisely. Unlike some people who has been living the lavish life for quite some time, they will underestimate the value of it because they believe there is a lot from where the money came from and they can easily replenish it.
