If money cannot buy happiness, can you ever be truly happy with no money?

Nah, no one would be happy suffering or wallowing in poverty and shit. Especially if you have mouths to feed also. You'd be beyond stressed af bc you couldn't provide for your family. So nah, no one can ever truly be happy without money. Money makes the world go round, at the end of the day. We all need it and those that aint got it, will do near enough anything to make sure they can get their hands on some just to survive. The only things money can't buy are loyalty, integrity and true love

I'm someone out there is, but in a modern capitalist society it takes a certain amount of money to provide yourself with sustenance at the very least. not sure how happy you can be if you're sick from starvation

I read once of a person who ended up homeless, held his fist into the air with one dollar bill in it, his only possession, and it was the happiest moment of his life. I think it was the freedom of having no possessions or maybe no responsibilities or not having to answer to someone.

When you are protected from the cold, when you have food and water, and I am talking like fruits and vegetables mainly, if you are healthy you really don't need much money. But to be able to live in such a way is seldom.

Money gives options so yes it can access routes to happiness. It's absurd to think otherwise and almost justifies poverty as legitimate. Bullshit I say.

As I've heard it, money CAN buy happiness up to a certain level, then there are diminishing returns.
