Money certainly can buy comfort, which makes it easier for you to lead a less stressful life, which, in turn, may contribute to your health. If you are in a good health, you are more likely to be happier than being sick.
I am not materialistic, but I would say a set of Eames chair and an ottoman will make me happy. It is neither because such a purchase would satisfy my acquisitive nature nor my ego to possess a famous piece of furniture, but it is a quality time I will have by sitting on the chair that makes me happy. Moreover, I would say that the happiness will also stem from the fact that my longing wish to own the char has come true.
I see a connection between money and happiness, but not in an absolute term. It (level of happiness) is too subjective based on individual experience to come up with a clean formula.
What do you think, EconMan? Can money buy happiness?
