So, for some reason, I've been pondering the statement "Money can't buy happiness/love". Probably because of the commercialization surrounding Christmas. What I think brings you happiness and love is your relationships. Your relationships with God, family, friends, co-workers. I think that maybe what gets in the way here is sort of a defensive reaction when you want to display or receive emotions from others. While it's an accepted form of comedy to say "I love you man", it's not always socially accepted to say that and really mean it. Maybe if we were more honest with others or ourselves regarding our emotions, life would be happier.
Money can certainly buy pleasure, but it's fleeting and insubstantial. It's an instantaneous feeling, not a grounded and persistent feeling like happiness or love.
Just my rambling...
