Sorry, but I still believe that money CAN buy happiness and anyone who disagrees with me should send me a couple of thousand dollars. Including Mr. Stossel :^D

Money can't BUY happiness, but it can rent a reasonable facsimile of same.

I was surprised that he puts that in the same class as the others. He should know that, up to a point, the belief that money buys happiness is of great social utility in getting people to work hard. Plus, what's this with blaming the myth/belief on TV and the movies? What about human nature?

I think that UNEARNED money doesn't buy happiness. Earned money buys a little.

I wholeheartedly agree, and until proved wrong, I'm sticking to that belief :)

I read somewhere recently that those who say money can't buy happiness have never bought a new puppy.

Money cannot buy happiness but it sure can rent it for a while.

Money can make your misery much more comfortable.
