Financial Freedom Matters: Can Money Buy Happiness?

Michelle Cornish

When it comes to the question of can money buy happiness, most people would say yes. After all, money can provide security and comfort in our lives. But is that all there is to happiness--security and comfort? There are many other factors that contribute to our overall happiness too.

As I've discussed in previous Prosperity Matters posts, to me, prosperity isn't just about having material wealth. Prosperity includes good health, energy, vitality, loving relationships, and rewarding work. This leads me to believe that prosperity encompasses more than just money, and there is more to happiness than money.
