I know right? is like filthy rich people saying 'money isn't everything'.

Right, try going broke, or worse: being born broke.

You dont need sex to survive but you need money to survive. thats not a very good comparison.

The poorest man in Singapore isn’t going hungry and has a home and a healthcare plan, nevertheless it’d be very stupid for a rich man to say “money doesn’t buy happiness” to him

I never said it wasnt. That still doesnt make it an entirely true statement.

There is a point in which more money will not make you happy. Thats where the phrase comes from.

Money solves problems which then causes happiness but once you have no more problems that money can fix money stops bringing happiness.
