"Money Doesn't Buy Happiness"

It seems worth acknowledging that there is truth in the saying that "Money doesn't buy happiness."

However, money does buy your way out of a lot misery--and other obstacles--and so makes finding happiness a lot easier, a fact which should not be slighted.

It is just as with the saying that "If you don't have your health, you don't have anything." Rich and sick is not great--but it is a lot easier to protect your health when you do have money. And if you fall sick, you can get along a lot better in that condition if you have money than if you don't have it, a fact which also ought not to be slighted.
