I think that money can bring happiness but after a point it just brings more money.
Its the law of diminishing returns in economics, JS Mill and a bunch of others wrote about it at one time or another. A lot of those writers are a good read.
True. When you make more than about 50% of the people in your area, the returns start diminishing pretty fast. Once you get to the top 20% of earners, I doubt additional money matters at all.

Advertising: money buys happiness, here! buy some happiness today with this new product!
reality: happiness comes from within.
so what makes me wonder is if what you are really getting at is purchasing security via money, which is more possible.
but, as everything too, does pass... even that's ephemeral.
You can’t have hapiness without security. Security is a prerequisite to happiness.
