You give up money to get a decent home. Abandon one long argument to get a peace of mind. Give up sleep, to get income and security.
Buying is a process that is not bound solely to money and trading. It is giving up valuables in order to gain stuff you need.
Happiness is in the mind, it cannot be measured by no logical measure. A continuous state of mind that lasts for much longer let's say, pleasure.
Pleasure is tied to material: purchase-ables, things we buy, touch and eat. Which is why it gives us a sense of instant happiness... Instant... instant does not last long enough.
To buy happiness, you may want to give up cynicism, abandon the bits of stuff you identify with, and probably, your big ego.
Give aways your precious things to those who need them, as the saying:
“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.” --Churchil
No, happiness doesn't come for free.
