Can we live on happiness? Can it pay our unpaid bills, our expenses?
To be happy means we lack nothing. As such, it pays the bills -- all of them. There's a catch though. For in addition to being happy, we have other obligations and duties -- obligations to the Creator, to our families, to our communities. One such obligation is to earn a living -- "with sweat on your face, you may eat bread."*
Still, earning a living, sweating, does not pay the bills. Only the Creator takes care of our needs. Only the Creator pays our bills.
We need to see our life this way. Then, we may free ourselves of our many worries, and start living with a new joy.
