Happiness

Am watching this TV program with happiness as the main topic. What is happiness? Some folks interviewed on TV said that happiness means more money. Some said happiness means simply being happy. So, what about you?

I couldn't disagree more on the latter but what about money and happiness?

MONEY=HAPPINESS ???

Can money really buy happiness? Ok so what about when you had a really bad day at work and went for a shopping spree just to cure your unhappiness? And when you had a hard time at home and went for some lavish buffet? So now, you need money to do all those things right? Back to the same question:

Can happiness really be bought by money?
