Money is a tool; though if I'm a carpenter I don't worship a hammer, regardless of how important to me it is. No the carpenter worships the craft, and the craft here is happiness. I can build a house without a hammer. In fact you can argue a properly jointed piece is more durable than anything. And thus we have, "Money can't buy you happiness."

Money is just a symbolic icon that represents an established worth. Upon looking at the objects used to represent said worth it is soon realised that said objects are actually not worth what they represent.
Currency is a figment of our imagination.
Currency only holds value while there are those to believe it has value.

People can be happy; true happiness is a result from no pressure, no value, no system, no expectations, but good things happening such as love.

People can be pleased by value, ect. It's a posative feeling but it's different to happy.

Pleased and happiness are too often confused.

The people who tell you money doesnt make you happy are complete idiots.

Money will enable you to not struggle all the fucking time. All your bills will be paid and if shit goes wrong like your car breaks down,  you'll have the money to fix  it.

It wont bring you true deep down happiness, but it will free up your mind and life so you can focus on the important things in life that will bring you true happiness.

If you're always struggling and worrying about money, living paycheck to paycheck, it will be shit for you and much harder to be happy


And then What? Paying your bills isn't happiness. It's absence of stress, and that can be an important component of happiness but you have to go beyond that otherwise you risk shear boredom. Call me a  idiot all you want but I grew up with Bentleys and Aston Martin's and Lamborghinis around. When you have all that absurd money and it's still being managed by type A's who act like they're going to pop an aneurysm at every little thing that goes wrong you get a new perspective. Most people just take on bigger investments, bigger houses, nicer cars, more lavish vacations, etc. They're still slaves to money. Of course if I had a billion dollars I would be happy because I realize that. I'd pay off a 1200 square ft house in the place of my dreams (which is far the fuck away from affluent neighborhoods), and spend the rest of my life doing what I cared most about. I'd be investing my talents and money in the bettering of humanity and myself not simply accumulating more shit to take care of. But there lies the difference. Money doesn't MAKE you happy. YOU make you happy and money can definitely enhance that

They say that people who win the lottery often end up pretty unhappy (and broke again before too long).

I don't really care about being rich but it would be nice to own some land. A more reliable car would also be good.

Money has always been the struggle in my life.  I can't even imagine a world where my basic needs are met and I don't wake up worried about losing what little I have.

Haven't you heard about rich powerful people committing suicide!

Materialism sux though! Why would i buy 100s of t-shirts, over priced cars and other unnecessary toys like that just to grab attention and boost your ego!

Money is a tool that can make your life better for sure, like using it for example to buy positive deep drugs (lsd, shrooms, molly...etc..), take a course or study something you are passionate about, travelling, live comfortably...etc...

There's a huge difference between rich and making it by.  If you're making enough money to live okay, it's doing it's part in buying your happiness.

I never met a single person from my neighborhood (that I grew up in) that said money can't buy you happiness... except Dave.  That fuck has a trust fund.

Fuck Dave.

The key, as with anything, is the middle path:

Use, do not abuse; neither abstinence nor excess ever renders man happy.
--Voltaire

Too much or too little of anything is a surefire way to lose your happiness.


--------------------
Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.
--Jac O'keeffe

I have to disagree to some extent on a few select instances. Some of the most satisfying things I have ever done in my life have come from overcoming temptations and guilty pleasures. For example, being able to quit cigarettes and giving up meat and dairy products. The health benefits alone are reward enough but for some reason I feel really proud that I was able to do something most people around me find impossible.

But I think those are exceptions to the rule. For me if I ate one slice of cheese pizza or smoked a single cigarette the floodgates of excuses would open and I would find myself falling back into the same, unhealthy routines.

At least 80% of the world's population technically lives in poverty.
That's over 5 billion people.
I'm inclined to believe that there are way more happy poor people in this world than there are happy rich people.

the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk,
mad to be saved,
desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”

An interesting theory.

Could be some truth to that. Maybe.

I have no fucking clue.
I just really enjoy statistics.

Edit: To make it a fair comparison I would have to analyze the happiness of the same number of rich people and poor people. With that said however, I still think the amount of happy people would be about the same between both groups.

Anyone in here claiming poverty makes one happier than having money, I will gladly take your money.

Have the conviction to back your theory with action.

Of course living poverty doesn't make someone happy.
But there are plenty happy poor people. That is all.
