I know many people who already have a lot of money but they can get angry easily. They already have a lot but they always prioritize everything that related to earning money, they looks like they still need more and more. I think that is a greed, isn't it? They always afraid to being poor. Honestly that's also what I feel sometimes. In my opinion happiness is a gift from God. Maybe we don't have a lot of money but if God give us beautiful good wife or many good kids or safe country or a job that we like or good friends or healthy, I think we will still happy.
Your very correct money helps people to live happily without having much things to worry about, tho it's said that money can't buy happiness but it can actually help to make you live happily. For example if you have enough money you won't bother thinking of what to eat, money for house rent and all the rest, but a poor man who is pressed with alot of issues will always have mood swings and every little thing gets him upset. Even in crypto you become happy when you make gains and get sad when you lose.
That's the advantage when you have lots of money, if you are good in balancing your life that money will give you those happiness that
you wanted to have.
Sure that there are many issues with poor people aside from how they will survive for the day they also thinking things for another days to come.
unlike when you have good amount of money, you don't need to mind things just continue enjoying a life you dreamed to live.
The difference here that he/she is talking about is that you can't really buy true happiness but it may help you to buy those things that are tangible or things that will make you happy.
By saying

There is a popular opinion in the locale that "A man who has money doesn't easily get angry or offended, lol". This statement goes the other way as well, that "A man who doesn't have money is easily offended by everything and everyone".
I have put this statement on analysis a lot in mind, trying to watch my mood and correlate my happiness with the amount of money I have each time. Everytime it seems like i have overspent and almost becoming broke, there is a feeling of irritation and sadness that comes with it. Also when i get some credit alerts, there is an associated joy.
I know it is not proper to tie your happiness to finance, but i did some research into the subject and found a study that was conducted with the result that happiness increases with the amount of money one makes up until a point where there is no greater degree of happiness from making money, but unhappiness if ones income drops beneath that range.

What is your opinion on the subject of "money & happiness"?
It is true that the effect of money on the condition of happiness is very physically influential, but not many people also have money but their lives are not happy. So here we can define happiness from which point we look at it. If it's about feelings, money can't buy feelings. Money can only buy physical happiness.

Money can't buy happiness but it can help you to be happy.
What is the difference then? If money can help you to be happy it only means that it has bought you happiness too. That is a simple way to explain that without pretending about the usefulness of money. Have you not heard of "a hungry man is an angry man"? A man who has money will not go hungry. So his anger is turned to happiness and joy. If he has any problem he solves it and gets his sound mind back, a problem that a man without money may not be able to solve.

Having some level of financial stability affects your thoughts and mood greatly, it is very true, when you have some money in your pocket you feel like 70% of your problem have been solved, because with money you can get things done easily, people listen and pay attention to you, and if you don't have it, that is the opposite of having it, you will be frustrated and sad, and you will wish to have it and be ready to do whatever it takes to earn money.
Indeed. Money can buy happiness at some point because it can save you from a chaotic world due to financial instability. Money can give you a comfortable life that can bring happiness to most of us which why most people strive to earn more. Money alone won't guarantee you a happy life, but it can take most of your worries and burdens in life.
You see, not everything revolves around money, but we can't change the fact that it is a necessity in our lives. Without it, our moods are usually affected. We worry and bother so much to the point that some people are starting to develop anxiety and depression. Money wouldn't solve all our problems, but it can solve all our monetary problems. It can buy us the things that can make us happy. However, no matter how many times money can give us that state of happiness, unfortunately, it can't buy us contentment. It's just really a matter of perspective.
Its funny when I hear people say that "Money can't buy happiness"! For real? Have you ever taken your child out to the park, thats if you have one or taken your family out for a picnic and watch them have all the fun they can? Even if its an unhappy family that goes about keeping malice with each other while at home... that momentary joy is what money can afford you. Money can buy you happiness but, its temporary! Once the money stops or goes away, the joy that came with it is gone.
And yeah, pretendingto be happy when you've got nothing as per money is actually paying ignorance to the problem.
I agree with your statement mate that money can buy you a happiness, being born and lived in third world country seeing the poverty, and also raised and live in a type of family where buying things even just in a small amount of penny seems like a million expenses I can truly say that money can buy you happiness. It is temporary yes but I guess one thing that last is the happiness that the thing you've got to buy from money lasts. Though I do also believe on the saying that being contented in life can truly give you a meaning of happiness but honestly speaking we can't be as pure of happiness if we don't have money, it is just a tool but this thing we called money is the only way to purchase services and products today.
I agree with this. Knowing that you have financial problems can't make you smile in small things. You'll be drowned with sadness specially when doesn't know where to get your fund to pay your rent for your house, electricity and water bills, foods and etc. In the other hand, having money makes you worry less and makes your face a lil bit brighter.
It depends on person to person, and happiness is pretty subjective and it can go up or stay where it is when you get more money, look at billionaires, they earn more money because they aren't content with what they have.
In essence, money and happiness are two different but related things,and we don't have to deny that with us having a lot of money we can be happy even though it's not always like that,
what is clear in life we need both
Does money buy happiness? I think not. At least not in the true meaning of the word. There are more important things in life. Like finding and spending time with your friends and family. A lot of my life happiness stems from the people and things I surround myself with, which aren't related to money. We all need a purpose in life. A connection with nature and spending time with loved ones are all a part of that.
Although having enough money to pay the bills and have some savings is a good thing. Having more than enough money may boost a person's sense of well-being, the findings show.
People in the top fifth of the income spectrum are likely to feel less stressed and more satisfied than their peers with lower incomes.

Happiness can be found in the minimum wage of food clothing and shelter you don't need much money to get the minimum amount of food clothing and shelter satisfaction gives happiness a contented life is a happy life narrow person does not need money to be happy. In the present situation it is felt by the common man that money brings only happiness this is because of the increase in the demand of the people. The demand is increasing day by day money is something that can be achieved happiness cannot be achieved but it can be experienced.
Money gives you financial freedom. This means your mind will be in a relaxed state. With a person without money, his mind will be always thinking of making money for his next day's food. This way money is an object that has got the ability to keep a person away from financial problems.
When we talk of happiness, it is all about love and care. Maybe one can buy an expensive car for his friend, but here receiving friend's mind isn't about the car. His expectation might be a small hug, so the expensive car doesn't make him happy but the small hug makes him happy.
Money is object based and happiness is all about inner feeling.
Even though you say that happiness is an inner feeling, but this inner feeling is still based on external factors When we talk of happiness, it is all about love and care. Maybe one can buy an expensive car for his friend, but here receiving friend's mind isn't about the car. His expectation might be a small hug, so the expensive car doesn't make him happy but the small hug makes him happy.
Money is object based and happiness is all about inner feeling.
Although of course all this is strictly individual and you can be terribly unhappy having a lot of money, but being afraid to lose it or not being able to spend it adequately to be happy. Or, on the contrary, enjoy small things with little money and be absolutely happy from other factors, such as family life. All the same, everything is relative and a person quickly gets used to the good and begins to envy when white, and when black envy other people who have more money and becoming unhappy.
You cannot buy happiness but you can use money to be at a better type of living which won't put you at distress in life. We've got several descriptions about being happy and relating it to money and it varies.
But for me, I'll be happy if I'm living financially free and that's what I want. I've got more time to myself and family and that's the description for me of happiness. Being able to enjoy life with them and at the same time, I'm already out of the rat race.
It's definitely a good feeling if you are financially stable and enjoying the good company together with your family. But only few people have achieved this goal because the truth is most of us have different issues about money and family.But for me, I'll be happy if I'm living financially free and that's what I want. I've got more time to myself and family and that's the description for me of happiness. Being able to enjoy life with them and at the same time, I'm already out of the rat race.
Happiness does not only come from finances because even poor people who don't have good finances are still feeling happy despite of their status in life. So i must say, happiness is built within. If you can be happy with small things around, then there's no need for you to earn huge amount of money. It's a matter of satisfaction and contentment even in small things.
One can find happiness even if at the hardest part of their living. The poor have their own happiness too and the rich people starts to have more measurement how they'll take their happiness.
But if you want a simple living and you're financially free then you can do everything you can just to be happy and have a less stressful life.

there is a wise saying that "men's strength lies in money and position, while women's strength lies in their beauty and service". At first, i didn't really understand this sentence, but as i got older, this sentence made me realize that a man must be active in making money because that is where his happiness lies. don't be lazy to make money. 
Seriously I totally agree with yours write up I believe if you are having money you will definitely have rest of mind and you won't be easily annoyed compare to when you are broke little thing will definitely get you angry. For me whenever I receive credit alerts sometimes I don't even feel like eating because I believe whatever I want to eat I can easily get it because I believe am having the money and I cam afford what I want at anytime. Whenever am broke I easily get annoyed and am always frustrated.
