    The flaw with money is people forget it comes with responsibilities. If you don't recognize those responsibilities and adjust your lifestyle accordingly, those same problems are going to continue to come at you only at a larger scale.

    " You can buy a car, you can buy many things, you can buy happiness, but you cant buy wings" In short you can buy happiness but you will never be truly free.

    Of course. Living in squalor and not being able to afford what I want and need is awful, and the stress of that takes a toll.

    Money doesn't instantly provide happiness. You have to use it to buy the objects and experiences that will provide happiness.

    Not a full proof scheme though because money cannot buy real love or companionship.

    Happiness can be achieved by money. Clearly, you buy goods and services that make you momentarily happy.

    However, while happiness is attainable -- fulfillment is not. That's the key.

    Yes.

    Money buys you things you enjoy, and the things you enjoy the most is what makes you happy

    Nothing will make you happier in this world than true love and that's the one thing money can't buy tbh.

    it depends on the type of person you are. some people just aren't happy unless they have lots of money or expensive things. some people are fine with the little things in life.

    Which TED Talk?

    I'm also curious if they meant household income or individual income.
