There is no doubt that in today's world, money is the greatest motivator of all. People even kill others for money. Agreed that it can buy you many things, but can it buy you happiness? What is your Frank opinion? Here in India, there is a local saying, which when translated to English means, "money you may not be God, but you are not inferior to God either".

It's good to have enough. Then you can do the things that truly bring happiness.

You are right about that money is a great motivator nowadays. In my opinion money buys it all, except happiness, love, and good friendships. I like having money, but I acknowledge that it is not all in life.

I don't believe that money can buy happiness but having enough certainly makes life much easier. It's hard to be happy if you're constantly worrying about whether or not you can afford food or rent. I'm sure there are plenty of miserable rich people, though, and I know plenty of people who are happy as long as they have what they need even if it isn't much.

It all depends on what kind of happiness one wants

I agree, but I think other things go toward happiness. Feelnig fulfilled, helping others, kindness.

Money can buy a degree of security and peace of mind which brings happiness.
