money sure helps happiness up to a poiutn where you are comfortable, makes little or no difference above that point. then it comes down to relationships and attitude to life. Can't recall the exact income that studies say it stops having an effect though, was not all that high

Look at all the things the OP listed, sure they take money but not that muchm you sure don't have to have millions to do those things and have a good time

shes happy. kid is makin bank partying it up and clearly doesn't give a fuck about anything. her life choices blow goat dick but it doesn't really matter as shes sitting on a fuckton of cash. pretty sure if you asked her if money didnt bring her happiness she'd tell you to get fucked

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J The point is that money alone doesn't buy happiness, and happiness is not directly proportional to money. Obviously it's almost impossible to survive without money, but the idea is that prioritising financial gain over your friendships, relationships, family, health and free time doesn't result in happiness.

its not directly proportional for sure. and no one fucking does that seriously come on. if you did that then you're a moron anyway, more a personal thing.

theres some good points in here but most of them stem from the money -> greed idea. which i don't think its really a valid point.

i'll come back later and read again and try and actually form some good arguments but i just started a session of hon so this will have to wait.

on a side note i think its funny a lot of people are taking the "having a lot of money is bad" and if they were significantly richer that position would be blacked out.

"They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the fucking smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby."
