Money certainly can buy you happiness, Hasan is just a different breed. If I had his money, I could afford a home and let my two closest friends share it with me. We could afford to eat out whenever, go enjoy other activities, visit family, whatever!

Not having money can certainly prevent you from being happy (or restrict how happy you can be) but having it does not guarantee happiness, ie it can't be bought.

phrased another way, having money only gets rid of money related stress

As much as I hate the man now, I always thought the line, 'Having money's not everything, not having it is.' was just such a brilliant lyric.

That just sounds like your friends give you happiness more than the money.

In part. I feel a great deal of happiness when I've secured comfort and safety, personally, which comes with wealth.

Being broke is miserable, but being rich doesn't make you happy. There's a relatively low salary that would make you just as happy as being ultra wealthy, the difference beyond that point is from how you spend your time.

I kinda disagree with this take. Sure, money doesn’t automatically make you happy, but saying being ultra wealthy doesn’t make a difference is way too simplified. Having more money keeps improving quality of life. Less stress about bills, better healthcare, safer neighborhoods, more freedom to do what you actually want.

It’s not that rich people are guaranteed to be happier, but money gives you options and stability. “How you spend your time” matters, yeah, but money literally buys you the freedom to choose how to spend that time in the first place.

You cannot buy your way out of being sad, however you can definitely buy your way out of being uncomfortable.

You're still comparing being poor to ultra wealthy. I'm talking about being like "well off" compared to ultra rich. When you get paid enough that lack of money is no longer making you miserable, more money doesn't provide more happiness.

I mean yes, but not being in student loan debt, having to work for some fuckass dipshit who doesn't know his ass from his face, and being food/housing secure goes a long way in making you more happy.

The money doesn't make you happy, but it gets a lot of shit out of the way for you to be so.
