Question: Do you think money makes people happy?
To some extent, yes, money can buy happiness. A person who does not have the basic amenities like food, clothing and shelter can get happiness if he gets the money for these things. But after a certain extent, other things become more important. Good health and good relations with friends and family are more important which cannot be bought with money.
Question: Are the things or events that make people happy today the same as several decades ago?
Things that bring happiness haven’t changed.

Achievements of ones children and grandchildren, a fit body and financial security give happiness in old age.

I believe that old people can be happier than young people because young people today have a lot of burden on their shoulders. They have the burden of choosing a career. They have the burden of adopting the culture. They are forced by their parents to adopt the traditional culture but they want to adopt the global culture. They are exposed to a consumerist society in which there are a lot of things, which they want to own, but they don’t have the money for those things.
