knowing I dont have money, honestly makes me miserable. Im constantly worrying how im going to pay bills, and it really sucks sometimes not being able to go out and just have fun! So yeah, money would make me happy. I CAN be happy without money...but its still stressful knowing that you dont have any.

yes money does make me happy. when i earn money i feel happy but its not only money that make me feel happy. its about the freedom and things you want to do. if you are able to achieve what you need in life then i guess it would make you happy. it is important to be loved too

Money is part of happiness, but like said before it doesn't bring happiness, it is just a tool. I think that when you have money for living and some extra you don't need more money that you can be happy. I mean money doesn't make you happy, but lack of it makes you unhappy.

Money in and of itself does not bring you happiness. Money is a tool, much like air it is only important if you don't have any. While it sucks to not have money (believe me I know) having money won't make you a happier person, you will just have nicer toys to play with.
