It’s an age-old debate if indeed money can buy happiness or not. While humans are always in a race for more money, a school of thought believes money cannot buy happiness.

However, in a recent study, more than 1,000 students graduating from the University of British Columbia completed an assessment measuring whether they valued time over money or money over time. The majority of students reported prioritising time — but not by much. Nearly 40 per cent reported prioritising money.

He said, “For instance, a young man who desires money and then gets the money but used it to lead a kind of life that destroyed him, for such a person, money didn’t bring him happiness. Money is a means to an end. It depends on what one uses it for. If you use it functionally and wisely, it can bring happiness. If one uses it otherwise, it can bring sadness. It plays dual roles.”

“Money is a medium of exchange. People use money to gain other things. You use it to gain other benefits. That’s why people want to get it by all means. The reason that money demonstratively increases happiness levels up until a point is that it takes a certain salary earning to feel financially secure.

If you are thinking of how to spend money to derive happiness, Harvard Business Review recommends the following ways.In a survey of loan applicants, it was found that more than 80 per cent of people under 30 reported deriving more happiness from buying experiences — such as trips, concerts, or special meals —than from buying material things, such as gadgets or clothes.

Yes money can buy happiness but it can never buy Joy

Most people argue that happiness is all about having a lot of money while others maintain that personal happiness is defined only by us and does not entail money in its entirety but, can a poor man be truly happy? To me, money can buy happiness but might not sustain it.

Yes, up to a point in my humble opinion. Poverty can't buy happiness either. But one thing I do know is, the earnings and the possession of money has brought more happiness than as Poverty.
