Does money equal happiness? Can money buy happiness? Yes, but only up to a certain point. We need to eat and we have basic needs that need to be met. We need a roof over our heads.

Money can buy those things. Money can produce happiness. It can help you make a better life for your family, which will bring about happiness, but does money equal happiness? Does more money always equal more happiness all of the time?

Certainly not.

Here’s what money does: money amplifies who you are now.

If you’re not generous now, you’re not going to be generous when you have money. If you’re not happy now, you’re not going to be happy when you have money.

Who are you now? That’s the only thing you can control.
