yeah it can buy happiness, but you won't be satisfied if you're always chasing the dollar.

Yes.

What it generally can't buy due to human nature is absolute satisfaction.

Exactly. That phrase is a pseudo intellectual way of pretending you're "above" it.

Yes. I would most certainly be happy if I was super rich. Never having to work, paying people to do everyday tasks like shopping and cooking, having a beautiful, comfortable house and living wherever I want (fuck, I might as well buy a new house when the old one gets dirty lol), and just basically enjoying all the privileges that come with being filthy rich.

For those that doubt me, feel free to give me millions of dollars :3

I don't think so because I've seen so many rich people who hate their lives despite having it all and so many poor people who always have a smile on their face. There are a lot of rich people like Michael from GTA V.

literally every study conducted on this shows that having enough money to where you don't have to worry about paying bills, don't have to worry about being fired from work, don't have to worry about whether you can buy your kid that new expensive thing he wants or not etc results in a dramatically reduced rate of depression and stress.

Some rich people appear unhappy, especially celebrities because you typically only see them candid when they're being harassed by agitator paparazzi. You don't see them in privacy drinking beer and playing poker with buddies, losing, and not giving a crap because they're filthy rich.

And of course, rich people are still people and subject to depression and other mental disorders, but that's not because money itself doesn't make people happy.

No, it can't.

However, money buys freedom, which is a precursor to most routes to happiness.

So, you mean if money can make you permanently happy without ever feeling sad or anything bad again? I don't think that's what people mean when talking about happiness and money. Hell, i don't think any material stuff will be key to being truly happy. Imo its about having inner peace, stable mental health, and living fulfilling life.

BUT having shit loads of money can be key to all of that. I don't think anyone would feel fucking WORSE after getting something like 100million$ tax free. You certainly get many opportunities to find what makes you happy, or happier directly because of the money, so yes money does make you, the very least, happier.
