Depends on how you look at it. If you look at it from a 'literal'-translation, then it means what it says. If you look at it as "Money can't buy love", then that is also true. You cannot buy friendship or the love of another person, if they did love you, they'd only love you for the money.
So it can buy you happiness if you are poor, and in need of financial-help. It could help you buy shelter, food, etc. But in the end, are you really content? What else would you have besides shelter, food, and clothing? Will you have a girl / boy who will love you until death? Will you have great friends that will stick by your side until the very end? I think that's what the quotation means.
