no money can't buy happiness, and i don't think that you were wrong for giving it away. i have done the same thing down through the years with family friends, and people i didn't know. i have no regret , but i didn't think about who it would also affect. Now i am struggling to make ends meet with out a job and a child in college. so before you give it all away pray for directions on who, what, and where to help and please don't forget your self. May God Continue to Bless.
