Money is nothing but a medium of exchange for exchanging goods.Earlier there was the barter system.So money can buy material goods.It has its own plus points and its limitations.Certainly money is required to buy comfort as pointed out by someone in discussion board.The satisfaction level of money is different from individual to individual.For ex- an IIM graduate may earn 1 crore per annum but might have to slog himself out till morning 8 to 12 midnight,now does that give any peace of mind? Money gives the feeling of security but it can never guarantee happiness.I personally feel happiness is again relative in context.For me Happiness is setting up an industry and giving employment to 4 or 5 people to maintain their families.That way I am contributing to the economy bringing about equitable distribution of wealth.With the income from this unit I might be able to visit other countries and see the world.This way I get immense satisfaction.So might be the case with others or might be different.So I feel money alone cannot give you satisfaction. An individual has to have a vision or some good objective in life so as to make good use of it.Just stacking it in form of mutual funds,fixed deposits alone doesnt guarantee peace of mind.

Money ! is Economy of the Country. There are so many channels / Magazines which only focuses on Money & Business ( nothing but cash flow). I appreciate Sanjeet's point of view. Happiness & Money are not directly proportional to equate. Several Job satistfaction surveys has proven that Money is not the priority No.1 for the most happiness is in getting recognised in their profession and love what they are doing.
70% of Man's problem is related to Money. So we always related Hapiness to Money ( which is solvable).
Earning more & spending money in fair way is good for individuals as well as to the country's economy. Through which whole nation can smile. Just imagine how happiness bloomed when stock marked touched 20,000 plus.
