How about: hey, I never have to stress out about wasting my life working 40 hour weeks to pay my bills. Yay! That's proof of happiness right there.
Anything else is extra.
So yes, it can buy happiness. I'm not "wrong", it's an opinion. If I was rich, I'd be happier because the only worries I have in life now are working and paying bills.. and I don't even have problems with those. If I had cancer, I'd worry either way. At least I know if I was rich, I could go on a massive spending spree before I died.

Stompy, I would have expected you to point out the silliness in the statements by pointing out the obvious in:
a) comparing a rich person dying of cancer to a poor person dying of cancer
b) comparing a poor person who longs to be young and attractive to a rich woman who can actually afford to alter her body (ignoring the even more obvious of what each one's respective health is going to be like once they hit that later stage)
But, as often the case on this board, people have to "win" a point rather than just agreeing with the forest
