Does money buy happiness?

They say it’s better to cry in an AMG then a corolla.

What do you say?
Are you happier with or without money
Is a businessman in France happier than a sugar farmer in Chile?

The relation between money and happiness can be perfectly described by a sigmoid curve.

I am not going to come here and cap. I feel happier with more money than when I had less, but I think what really made me happy was the process of getting the money. I enjoyed what I was doing, and because I was starting to get more money, I would have more time. The more time I have, the more stuff I can do that contributes to my happiness and now I don't have to take shit from people. So I'd say money does contribute to my happiness, but it's not solely money.

Happiness is a state of mind, it really depends about cultural and social life each individual target.

Whoever told you money doesn't buy happiness is a lazy and cowardly ass who never tried to uplift his living standards.
It's like asking a virgin about how sex feels like.

 

[CatWrangler]

Yes

It depends, if you find it satisfying then you are happy, and not everyone takes money as a factor, but definitely, without money there are no happiness

Money buys freedom. The freedom to not worry about money.

I like this analogy - good stuff

Money buys options
options buys choices
choices = freedom
freedom = happiness

Happiness is a state of mind, it really depends about cultural and social life each individual target.

what factors inside culture and social life come into play?

chad mindset but it begs the question some of the richest people in the world tend to be the most suicidal
Why is this?

Yes

I agree as well

subjective based on what

 

[Scorpion Ghost]

Yes.

Whether getting your life in order or shooting heroin, or both, whatever makes you happy, money will give it to you. As much as you can afford.

People that say otherwise always had money, will inherit money, made money but forgot how it was before, gave up on #Perfection, or are just fucking stupid.

For me, Happiness is found in the process of progress. Not the end result or material things.

Thats ridiculous. The process of earning $50k for a little apartment is mostly just torure. The day you sign the paperwork and move in, thats where the bliss may begin.

The process of trying to fuck a girl you know you dont want anything serious with is like a minefield, torturous to navigate. Parking your dick down her throat - thats heaven, Jack.

I think the whole "its about the journey/process and not the destination" thing is garbage. Its cute garbage, but garbage nontheless. I think it stems from the fact that its a safe thing to tell yourself and others when you fail - but i enjoyed the process.

Yeah, right. Who are you kidding. You failed. Youre a loser. Kill yourself. Get the fuck outta here

Money can't buy happiness. It only gets the things that make you happy. So most of the time you will get a temporary sense of joy or happiness when you can get what you want with money.

My advice is to find what you truly makes you happy and learn to respect what you have!

This isn't easy for most of us because humans are greedy and nothing is enough. Besides that, you still need money for a living. So when you can afford your basic needs, try to make your life happier because after all you can't be happy with an empty stomach or a place to live.

Well, in this day and age money is the happiness, it solves most of your problems. I have lived a life of poverty and a life of being rich, I will choose the rich life every time.

No BS here of enjoying journey and working for passion, I work for money, I like it, It makes me happy. So, for me more money is happiness.

I donate a fixed sum % of my profits every year to people who need it and are less fortunate. It makes me happy to help someone in need and gives me motivation to earn more so I can help more.

Financial freedom is a blessing to have, for me it's happiness.

I'm dying. Thanks for the laugh man. You spilled some real shit here.

Imagine if a person meets with an accident where the person permanently loses both eyes, both hands and both legs. I doubt if such a person would be quite happy about having a trillion US dollars in his or her bank account.
Yes, money is very important nowadays. However, there are still and will always be things which money cannot buy.
With money, you can acquire a lot of things that can bring happiness. But, money is not everything in life, though it is quite important nowadays.

Right, exactly. You have to suffer through hardship to reap the rewards. You can spend every single day with one hand wrapped around your cock and the other around the remote while your mouth guzzles junk. But then when the "journey" is over, you'll be living in a cardboard box on the side of the road without a penny to your name.

Just search about the people who commit suicide in the world every year just because they don't have money to feed their kids.
If someone starts to have mental issues at some stage of their life and they don't want to take some help even though they have resources, then it's their own fault. By the way, poor people don't have that privilege as well, they have to deal with everything on their own.

Exactly - when a rich or famous person suicides there's news every where, there are 100s of people in world every day who end their life due to financial crisis. It's not easy to see your kids suffering from hunger or basic life necessaties.
