Does money buy happiness? Answer is one sentence.

Money buys happiness up to the point where basic needs and moderate comforts are met, after which its effect diminishes sharply—though recent research by Killingsworth suggests well-being may continue rising with income even beyond that point for many people.

Money buys security, comfort, and options—which raise happiness up to a point—but beyond covering needs and reducing stress, relationships, purpose, and health matter more.

Money cannot buy happiness, though it can reduce misery by meeting basic needs and providing security.
