Money buys happiness, but only to a certain level.
I know people with comfortable lives who say money doesn't buy happiness. Either as some sort of generic cliche about life and/or they have enough money and are just unhappy. But try going up to a parent who works 70 hours a week in a low paying job to put food on the table, never sees his family because he is away working and tell them that money won't make them happy.
With money buying happiness to a certain level, there was a study which results said that when you earn more than $75,000 a year is when money stops having an impact on how happy you are. That is when I think it becomes about you, your impact and what value you provide. It's an exaggerated example, But I remember hearing Arnold Schwarzenegger saying he was no happier when he had $40m compared to when he had $30m.
