If look at problems that rich gelebrities are living in.. Money has nothing to do with happiness. Except in a point if a person is too poor, it could bring less stress when getting enough money to get out of the worst misery.
Both, either too less or too much money brings problems.
But genuine love you cannot have by buying but poor can have it instead. Because it is free and only depend of chemistry etc.
I read a study recently that actually proved money could buy happiness, but only to a certain amount afterwards it actually can bring misery to a degree.
If I remember correctly people who earn a certain salary threshold (upper middle class) were the actual happiest of all economic spectrum. They were even happier than the very rich.
I guess to see this happening you need to go to countries that have little money. Surprisingly you'll find that people are very happy there even though they have very little in comparison to what you might have or believe they should have to be happy. I am glad concept of happiness is set this way otherwise people who have less money will have hard time to complete their life term and this will possibly lead to complete chaotic situation everywhere.
But the money greatly reduces the stressors of daily living. No need to worry about bills, car repairs, transportation, housing, etc. And a less stressful life equals a happier life (IMO). The money is probably not going to change your personality, fix your personal demons, or make you an all-around better, more well adjusted person, but it greatly eliminates stress and gives you options and freedom. The world all of a sudden opens up; you are no longer constrained by and stressed out by your lack of financial resources. Put all that together, and you are likely to be a happier person.
If you are a quintessentially unhappy person whose unhappiness is rooted in non-financial things, you will still be under stress and unhappy, your stress just won't be financially related.

Most would probably choose being unhappy and rich as opposed to being unhappy and poor. Money obviously cures a lot of ills and brings with it a lot of happiness and freedom.

Exactly! And to continue, people who manage to build wealth tend to be incessantly driven, restless, consumed with penchant towards forever striving for more. They might (and often do) have modest, self-limited appetites for consumption. But they have insatiable appetites for accumulation. This results in two kinds of dissatisfaction. First, one never has achieved enough, and can therefore never rest, never cease to be troubled by need to continue accumulating. Second, one never allows oneself to enjoy what's already been achieved, and therefore continues living like a person of modest means, despite possibly achieving enormous means.
Arguably, it is the unhappy people who are motivated to innovate, to create, to advance our culture. How many of our poets, our mathematicians, our painters and physicists and novelists are "happy people"? As with the arts and the sciences, so too (to some extent) in business. Happy people have little impetus for change, and hence for advancement. Restless, brooding people are the innovators and the architects of business. And generally they're not happy.
To greatly simplify, unhappy people get rich, but stay unhappy - and possibly become even unhappier in the process. Happy people don't get off of their duff, but even so, they remain happy.
