“To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in that suffering.”
That said: It takes a good deal of money to fund any search, especially enough time to actually contemplate meaning… Thus, money, to some extent or another, is necessary to truly survive - and the extent of that money greatly contributes to the extent of survival. It does not guarantee survival - but it is required to have the opportunity.
Money may not buy happiness, but it certainly reduces suffering.
Money maximizes the opportunity for happiness.
Oh, I like that one.
Getting it as a tattoo on my ass.
Money can’t buy me happiness, but I’m happiest when I can buy what I want, any time that I want, get high when want…

Since money of course is just the means of exchange, having it prevents the suffering resulting from deprivation being imposed.
