Happiness is a chemical reaction you have in your brain and you perform it with endorphin and seratone. In the end we are only a biological machine that react to impulses to achieve that happiness. Yes money will allow you to pleasure your needs better and perform happiness. I like going to the spa and get a massage and relax and think on nothing and smell aromatherapy and come out floating walking in a cloud from a nice foot massage. Or laying on a hummock with the sound of the waves and drinking a ice cold coconut water while seen the sun go down and beautiful girls playing in the water. Or just live a regular life without the pressure of paying bills or paying your friend because you owe them. But I will say that money is just a factor of life. Before money you could still be threatened by other humans, wild animals or mosquitoes. Even that picture perfect picture of the spa or the beach could be annoyed by minuscule things like somebody reply to you wrong, or you have a mosquito flying around your ear. Is not the things that make you happy, is the mood and state of mind that do.
