I think it's saying that money and the things that money can buy don't buy happiness. But people, the media, etc. try to convince people that money and material things can buy happiness. They try to make you feel like you need their product to be happy/successful, and they encourage you to try to have more, more, more. More than your neighbors, more than your friends, more than strangers, just more in general. It's to the point that many people are pretty much in competition with each other. I know it's cliche, but things such as family, friends, and art have so much more meaning and value than material goods.
What I mean is, money/material things can't buy complete happiness. They can buy some happiness. For example, if you have the money to buy a book, CD, game, or something else that you like, it can make you happy to an extent. But if you don't have love of any sort in your life, you probably won't be fully happy.
