Can money make you happy?

I always find it funny that people who dole out the caveats of money whether they are Christian leaders, world-renowned sociologists/economists, or whoever always have plenty of the thing they are petitioning against. Take, for instance, our friend Oliver James, the article describes him as a "53-year-old psychologist, broadcaster, and author." Which one of those job titles imlies that he's impoverished, shedding the finer things in life for his cause? I don't think the "money is the root of all evil." It is, instead, a person's use and devotion to the stuff which determines how happy or sad he'she can make themeself and the rest of the world. It's just too easy to paint any one thing as the direct reason for why this world is screwed up. Evil is not that simplistic and neither is good.
