Money can buy happiness.

Of course guys, I disagree with this. But today in class we were doing speeches on something that we value. So this kid goes up (who nobody can really take seriously), and this is what he says:
"My treasure is money."

And I remember two years ago when I had first met him, we got in an argument whether money could buy happiness or not. I'd tell him, it could not, that it wasn't possible, and he had said that with money, you can do anything.
.-.
Um, no.

I continued listening to his speech and I was amazed that he was actually able to say something intelligent. That how when he'd grow up, he'd give money to third world countries, such as Africa, and give to charity's like Feed my starving children.

But then at the end, he said:
"Well, with enough money, isn't anything possible?"

And I don't agree with that. I think that it takes hard work and dedication in order to achieve something.

Do you think money can buy happiness?
