No, money won't make you happy.

But having enough food and decent shelter and dignified work that both challenges and rewards you go a long way to preventing misery. And all these things involve money.

@mwlucas Cash certainly makes misery easier to bear.

@mwlucas I've likend money to a lubricant: the more you have the smoother things are. And the less you have the more you'll notice the gears grinding away.

@mwlucas Yes, all of this is about money. But that doesn't have to be the case.

@mwlucas I think this statement is really stupid. Money doesn't just ensure safety in our society, you CAN bis things that *will* make you happy with it.

It serves those who do not want to share their wealth with others for the masses to belief this.
