well its a good point that money can't buy happiness but enough makes it possible. im happy with free wireless internet (i piggyback off my next door neighbors signal. lol.) an xbox, igot that for free to. my buddy just wasn't using it so he gave it to me. so really the only things i have had to use money for is my GC and 5 games and my bills. so it doesn't take much but yeah, money can buy happiness. or rather others money. lol!!!!!! so i gues free stuff and luck have more impact on my happiness than stuff i had to buy. that means i can buy essentials and more easily afford them.
