can money buy happiness

That doesn't translate to happiness.

I can tell you as someone that has been broke and homeless and as someone that had money to burn, having money made me a hell of a lot happier, so money can buy happiness.

lol This is seriously your response? :-) I've never been either of those things but I have known more than a few wealthy people who were utterly miserable in life. Just when I thought I wouldn't encounter another idiot tonight, you magically pop in.😃
