IT BUYS HAPPINESS AND STOP PRETENDING IT DOES NOT DAMN IT. THIS IS JUST WHAT WHALES SAY TO KEEP TAKING OUR MONEY.

Money doesn’t buy happiness. However is does buy opportunities to experience happyness, if spent well.
My camera itself doesn’t bring me happiness, but the enjoyment of using it to take photos and later look at them brings me happiness.

That’s an excessively pedantic way to put it. That’s kind of like saying a heater doesn’t warm you, it warms the air, which warms you.

That is fair, but I don’t like the saying that money can’t buy happiness.
It absolutely can, in a roundabout way

Oh, my point was the relationship is so close you might as well not make the distinction. Money does buy happiness, simple as that. Just as I would simply say that the heater warms me up.
