Money can't buy happiness... but it sure can help to fix a lot of problems, problems which otherwise might be tremendous obstacles to happiness. As for how to "attain happiness," well, that whole idea kinda reeks of "happily ever after." Anyone else notice how "happily ever after" is always the end of the story? Almost like nobody really knows how to write about it, because it's a pipe dream to expect to be happy all the time. Sometimes, being alive and not being miserable is about the best we can hope for.
