When you put it like that it doesn't sound like the worst idea.
It sounds terrible. You used to be sad, now you're still sad and you're destitute too
But less sad!
Honestly the main problem is one of efficiency not whether buying happiness with money is a bad idea. Being less sad is more important than having money, but you do need to plan ahead so you don't run out too quickly.
For some people that’s the best they can hope for.
