Money is not happiness

Money is a concrete medium that represents the work a person has made. With this medium people can obtain material elements, changing the money for the thing. Making this change, people can have many pluses like solving their necessities (food, water, home, transport, light), have a good social status (because he will take best things that others), get pleasure and more things than others (like travels to other countries, go to deluxe hotels, buy marc things, etc.), have more health (because he can pay a medicine, doctor, hospital). In summary, the money can buy many material things, but not happiness because happiness is not material. Material things do not give happiness, and happiness is personal.
Happiness is a fact only present in the nature of human, not in animals, not in insects, and less in unanimated elements, like rocks, cars, earth, etc. Happiness isn´t a thing that scientists can examine because it is proper of humans, and if they examine humans, the experts can´t define what part of the brain produces happiness; they can understand that happiness is immaterial, that it isn´t matter. Then the money can´t buy the happiness because the verb "buy" is only applied to tangible things, for this reason as happiness is immaterial, it can´t be bought with money.
The material things can be bought with money, but they do not give happiness because they are not forever. What is the maximum life time for the material things? A car can last from 5 to 15 years, a T-shirt 3 to 10 years, soccer shoes 1 to 2 years, a new cell phone 3 to 6 months, a super hamburger of Pecos Bill 30 to 60 minutes. This is the reason why material things do not give happiness, they are not durable like a friendship, a family, a son, God. These things produce happiness, and the money can´t buy them. All persons have a personal and individual happiness because it is immaterial and depends on each person. For example to help the affirmation is, that persona "A" can be happy with a family, and person "B" will be happy dedicating his/her life to God. The happiness depends on each person, and he will search for it accordingly. Then happiness can´t be bought since this is personal.
In conclusion money can´t buy happiness because happiness is immaterial, happiness isn’t a thing with a limited lifetime; and because happiness is personal of each human, so money can´t buy it.
