Yes, I do think money can buy happiness if it is used humbly by the right person. For instance, someone who donates money for the good of others, uses money to start a satisfying business venture, quits their job to spend more time with their family – can all lead to happiness.

However, if used the wrong way like buying stuff, showing off to others, being reclusive – those can all lead to unhappiness. It's funny though when you look at all the studies of people who win the lottery and very few, if any of them, are actually happier afterwards. It really makes you wonder.
