To an extent - but good health and social relationships are very important.

It is important to find the balance between helping others and spending on yourself. Neither one should be neglected.

An excessive amount of money will awaken greed, which is then accompanied by corruption and displease. Otherwise, money can buy security.

I'll admit that money doesn't buy happiness but I would definitely say that it help, and also prevents you from being too unhappy :)

Misconception is that experiences are 'free' sources of happiness. Experiences are intangible but cost money, such as a sunset on holiday.

Money can help us to be happy but not provide us with happiness, we should always be thankful for what we already have no matter how small

Money cannot buy hapiness but the obtaining such sums of money required in this statement can. Most Most goals involve jobs that pay well.

When we work towards our goals and achieve all we want, then we are happy. So money cannot always buy us happiness, makes us easier to waste

Being rich and sad is not as great as being poor and happy. It is okay, but then you will think - why am I not happy, I am rich enough?

True happiness, as a state of mind of well-being comes from the individual, not from his or her circumstances.
