The REAL thing is not necessarily expensive! Money can "buy" ALL and ANY of the things mentioned as a FAKE REMAKE. Willing sellers and buyers abound & ready! But it cannot buy AUTHENTICITY. If one is authentic enough he will go for the real thing, regardless of the price tag, cause the real thing is not always expensive in terms of money. Or if you like, you can call it "honesty" in judging & valuating people, things, feelings and oneself. Money can buy fake happiness, fake loyalty, fake manners, fake love and every single unauthentic version of anything that is deemed desirable, valuable or scarce. The scarcest of all values in our definitely is authenticity. And yet, if you try to bid for that one, chances are that it is for sale at the lowest price! Sounds too cynical? On the contrary, I think, it's realistically philosophical and "reality authentical". The saddest creature on earth is an ostrich, cause it chooses to stick its head in sand and not see things for what they are. Anything (and anyone) else that (who) chooses to see, is happy, not cynical!

It really depends on what you mean by the word "BUY" and how this "BUYING" could occur in real life. This is the key thing in answering the question positively or negatively

 

Definilty, you cannot go to the supermarket or drugstore to "buy" happiness or self-peace, trust, integrity or common sense ..  But there could be other "indirect" things that you can spend money on and they result in some of the above happining indirectly.

 

Let me take happiness for example.  If you spend money on needy and helpless people who truly and deeply appreciate what you do for them and show gratitude to you ...  this could be a way to buy happiness with money !!

 

Another thing, they say that "time is money" and you cannot buy time with money.   But we kbow that you may buy time with money for future things that can be accelerated or delayed as you may wish !!
