I have a bit of a different opinion here...

I believe that money is pretty much everything. I don't mean to sound materialistic or anything as shallow as that, but basically - at least here in America - Money buys freedom. Lack of money limits so many people as to what they can do, where they can go, and what they can have. I also will have to disagree with the sentiment that money can't buy happiness. Obviously, you can't purchase a feeling, however - if you don't have to stress about money/ have the freedom to do pretty much whatever you want (within reason) it will be a heck of a lot easier to be happy that to have to struggle to put food on the table.

Just my $.02 (harhar)...

Here's a quote from the Boiler Room -
"People who say money doesn't buy happiness - don't fucking have any."
