Having money solves money problems. A huge chunk of people worldwide are struggling because of money problems, so of course money will make them happier. Others have problems that have nothing to do with money, and for them "just spend more wisely, duh" is idiotic advice.
So the answer to "does money make people happy?" (on in this case "does using money correctly make people happy?") is – first tell me why they are unhappy.

You can't be happy while you have a source of unhappiness so removing the source of unhappiness is the necessary first step. But adding a source of happiness is a required second step.

So maybe even these "sources of unhappiness" are not fixed.
