Many people say that happiness is having a lot of money in banks and they're never worried about using money, they can buy expensive hat, thousands-dollar hand phone or they live in a big palace,.... But that's just non-rich people's says. In fact, people who have a lot of money may be unhappy people.
However, we can't be happy without money. Do you think so?
Thank you for discussing in advance

I don't think true happiness has anything to do with money, yes it can cheer you up with a shopping spree but that fades quick, true happiness comes within and it really is about you how you are with yourself, love yourself be happy with yourself and your surrounds and look for the positive in everything you do.

"love yourself", is that happiness? I agree with you, but can we love ourselves if we have little money?
People have to live with some basic need such as eating, drinking, wearing and accommodation. And money is probably the only way to support our need. Without money or with a tiny amount of money, we can hardly afford our life. People will live with many obsessions: whether we have enough money to pay electric bill, calling bill, about some debts,...Only extremely optimistic people can be happy without money.
