That being said, If one has their health (physically and mentally) along with an established/fulfilled lifestyle, money will most likely provide long-term happiness.

If you give someone without purpose money, they won't know what to do with the money. You often hear about the tragedies of people winning the lottery, as they usually end up dead or broke.
If you give someone money and take away their purpose, they won't know what to do with themselves. The downfall of Notch comes to mind, as he had a great life prior to selling Mojang to Microsoft.

I’d say it can buy temporary happiness, but without true love, that happiness is short lived.

Yes and No. Yes if you have money you can have a safe/comfortable life (if i am rich i would just invest and make passive income to get more richer and live safely and healthy). No for some reason, if you have all of things in the world you tend to be bored with it soon or later which probably same if you are playing gta v with mods XD.

Money is like a tool to me. Does a saw or a screwdriver laying around make you happy?
To me you're ONLY happy if you use that tool to build a house of your own (work on your life purpose, whatever brings your fulfillment). With that logic, money can be exchanged for happiness whatever that is. To some that is buying sucky sucky from prosti. Others is traveling or other hedonistic experiences up to what you define what that house of yours is!

Without any form of Income, life will cease to exist. With a substantial amount of funds, life will continue to exist blissfully.

I think there is a limit to the happiness though. I don't know many wealthy people who are happier than I am. In most cases I'm happier than them, and I have my fair share of financial constraints.
Unless the money pool gets exponentially larger, I believe people just "get used" to having those funds, then see someone else richer/who has more, leading to the desire to want more. I don't think money ever results in being content. Though I do think it buys stability, which in itself can impact mental health. I don't know if that directly translates to happiness though - Given how many unhappy richer folks I've met.

From my prespective you can't buy it with money.

Money absolutely does not buy happiness, but it certainly buys the opportunity to look for it.
