I don't know whether this just makes me ridiculously materialistic but I think that plenty of money can at least go a long way towards making you happy.
If I had the money for a large penthouse in the west end and all the holidays, extra curriculars, trips and stuff that I or the children wanted I do think I'd be happier. And if I was watching every penny, living in a run down house in a difficult area and watching every penny while trying to cope on benefits we would be significantly less happy.
I know there are many unhappy rich people and many happy poor people but I don't think their happiness is linked to their income.
Money won't make an unhappy person happy. But I think it will make them happier and make the average person with no significant problems very happy.
AIBU and shallow?

AIBU?
to think that the saying 'money can't buy you happiness' is a lie?
