Money does buy you happiness in a way. You get to have a nice house, car, and alot of emenities other people don't get to have a normal basis. But money can't buy you happiness, love, etc. The only thing money really does is make life less stressful. If your running low on money, you might have to cut back on doing normal things you would have done if had the money. You might not be able to go out to dinner as much as you would like, take the vacation you wanted to take, or cut back on the amount of driving you are doing.
Somewhere along the line, people thought fun entailed spending money. I'm sure you can make a list of free (and safe) activities that cost pennies. I'm a huge fan of the outdoors, and while REI is a money-trap I can get away with a few hikes for next to nothing. Getting outdoors is really the way to go.
