If money cannot buy happiness, can you ever be truly happy with no money?

If money cannot buy happiness, can you ever be truly happy with no money?

I always hear people saying money cannot buy happiness, but is it really possible to be happy without money? Almost everything in this world requires money to do, unless you're being one of "those" and living in a forest growing/hunting your own food. I'm not just referring happiness to buying houses or living luxurious, but also to simple short term happiness such as buying an ice cream cone or getting clothes.

A lot of Buddhists live without money and seem very happy. They are happy with free food and being in touch with God illusions or not they are happy.

Some of the happiest times in my life were when i was homeless, you really get to understand and appreciate the value in everything.

That's the spirit. People should just appreciate things more.
