Does Money Buy Happiness?

February 11, 1997January 31, 2017

“Propagandists, from Shakespeare to Jacqueline Susann, have been telling the unrich that money doesn’t buy happiness. The unrich, not being immune to spasms of common sense, sometimes wonder about this.” — Anthony Haden-Guest

You absolutely don’t need money to be happy, and having money absolutely won’t guarantee that you are happy.

But it sure helps.

You knew this of course, but I find any excuse I can to trot out Anthony’s delicious quote.
