Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. How a person expresses happiness, and what causes a person to be happy, varies. Some people find happiness in money and material things. Others find it in family. Some find it in a piece of cake and a cold beer. It depends on the person. Material possessions and money can bring you happiness in that they allow you to have what you want as well as help others. Just money and possessions can't make you happy as you'll still need the true relationships of family and friends.
