“Money can’t buy you happiness” is propaganda from rich people to convince the poor to be satisfied with less.

Delicious, finally some good fucking food.

they’ve actually studied this, and there is a measurable point up to which money basically does buy happiness, and then past that point it stops

a billionaire is not guaranteed to be any happier than a millionaire, but both those people are almost guaranteed to be happier than someone living in poverty

(the “point” turns out to be “the time at which you have enough money that all your needs can be met without anxiety and you have some amount of money left over to do things like pursue passions, give back to the community, and do other emotionally fulfilling things.” what a shocker!)

Money buys security, free time, disposable income for leisure products, service, foods, and events. 

So yes…it does actually buy happiness. It incidentally also purchases health care, and fulfill the hierarchy of needs which tend to contribute to most people’s ill health due to stress levels…

Literally happiness.
