HAVE YOUR SAY:
Do you think money can buy happiness?

Headline News

23 January 2026

A bigger paycheck can buy freedom, comfort, and choice – but can it buy joy, love, or peace of mind?
As the cost of living rises and hustle culture thrives, we ask: does money unlock happiness,
or just distract us from what really matters?

“Yes. Money can contribute to happiness, but it’s not the full picture. Financial security can ease stress and create opportunities, but real happiness often comes from meaningful relationships, life experiences, and personal growth.”
**Evelyn Mogomotsi, Thabazimbi**

“Nee. Geld kan kos koop, die ligte aanhou en stres verminder. Maar dit kan nie liefde, kinders se drukkies of ’n huis vol warmte koop nie. Geld koop nie geluk nie — al koop dit darem roomys. En soms help dit ook. Die ware geluk in die lewe is gratis: liefde, familie, vriende en lag.”
**Mariaan Meyer, Thabazimbi**
