For me I think yes because rich people can buy everything that they want or the thing that make them happy and they can get more opportunity to do something that they want. On the other hand, poor people cannot do anything that they want even though most people say that happiness no need to use money but I think we have to use money for our happiness.

If I refer to the drama I think the rich have a lot of money but they might not be happy. On the other hand, the poor people might be happier than the rich. In addition, in real life, I think rich people will be happier than poor because they can buy whatever they want but poor people don't.

I don't know if rich people are happier than poor people or not, but if we look at the other side. It is obvious that rich people can be able to access things that can give people happiness easier than poor people. Because they are rich, they can access almost every kind of facilities. All they have to do is just spending their money. So, I think they will be happy easier than poor people.

I can't answer who is happier between rich and poor. In my opinion, everyone is happy in their own way without having to compare themselves to others. Sometimes rich people may not be happy because they don't have time or because of other factors around them.

I would say I agree with that. For example, I like eating. If I don’t rich or have money, I can’t eat whatever I want. But if I rich, I can eat whatever I want. And because food makes me happy. No food = unhappy. You can see, money can also give you what makes you happy.

It depends on the behavior of people someone rich but not happy because they suffer from stress
but someone who poor they happy because they have family to support them.
But if I can choose , I’ll be sure to rich so I will have family to support and I have money to support my family.

Of couse, rich people are happier than poor people even through they have to encounter with the trouble and bad things, but they can pass it through easyly then poor people.
That's why we need to get some job that earn lot of money for you. Now, the world need to spend lot of money when you want to be own things such as house and car.

Both the poor and the rich cannot compare their happiness. Happiness is something very individual. Each person's momentary happiness is different. The rich are happy when their stocks rise and they receive tens of millions in dividends. The poor are happy when they receive 10,000 baht in digital wallets. This is what makes them happy, which may only happen for 2 days, but after that, they may still suffer as before. If I were to speak according to Buddhism, both groups of people will be happy only when they let go of everything and discover the truth of life that our lives are nothing. Everything arises, exists, and ceases. The final thing is death that awaits. But what will happen after this is whether they will enter nirvana or not, because that is the highest point of Buddhism, and true happiness is not to be reborn again.

Sure! I’d say that it is because rich people are far from lacking basic necessities. They have more than that, and they can afford or spend on extra items they want, while poor people can only work for money to pay for their basic necessities and survive day by day. From this, I'm not saying that one of them works harder than the other because they all work hard in different ways. But if we look at the compensation they get from work and the different abilities in life, we cannot deny that being rich makes us happier than being poor.

No, I don't think so. Because sometimes the happiness is not just only have money, but the happiness is when you are doing something that you like. It doesn't depend on your are rich or not. Even though I am not rich, I am still happy with my life.

Yes, I think rich people is happier than poor people. Personally, everything in the world use money to buy it and happiness either. If you are poor in the world, you will lose your opportunity to live your life because everything in the world is cost money. I hate when people say that money can’t buy happiness. That’s not true because every meal you enjoy every activities you did you have to pay for it.
