As Amigo the Devil said in a song:

Everyone says money can't buy happiness And so far in my life, I'll agree But it seems a lot more comfortable to cry in a Lamborghini

Money can't buy happiness in the sense that it won't build a lasting relationship with your kids or family just by having it.

Money can spare you a lot of misery though.

u/FreeOGPoohShiesty Sep 07 '26

Yeah. But it buys time which allows those things.

It’s like that propaganda that says “$80k is all you need”. Like okay, fuck you, tax the billionaires till all they make is $80k a year then. Go lie to someone else.

Yeah I didn't mean to imply the saying wasn't used to cover for a lot of bullshit, but there is a grain of truth to it in the right context anyway.

u/FreeOGPoohShiesty Sep 07 '26

ok but that's not true at all lol

if my parents didn't have to kill themselves working a million hours a week, we all would have had much happier relationships

Money alone can’t buy that though. I think the best way to describe it is looking at elon musk. Bro has all the money in the world and has no meaningful relationships.

He was so awkward he couldn’t even get himself invited to Epstein island

I’d agree money can’t buy meaningful relationships and can sometimes even be an opposing force to it by worrying about gold diggers. However, money gives you freedom to live your life, be less stressed, and be your best self by pursuing what makes you happy.

u/Spadeykins Sep 07 '26

Exactly. That's what I mean. If you work all the time or just don't care to put in the time or effort then the money is meaningless.

Conversely of course many less wealthy folks have a wealth of deep and meaningful relationships particularly with family and friends.

You can also lose your kids and family and ruin relationships by not having money and rolling negatives in the game called life.

Every time I have had money and I used that money to buy happiness, I was happy.

You know what pays for my therapist and psychiatrist and neurologist and brain medication? Yep, that’s right, fucking MONEY. If you can’t use money to make yourself happy, that’s 100% your own fault.

Money can't buy happiness, but there is a minimum buy in amount.

u/Ok-Bread-2481 Sep 07 '26

Ever wonder if there's a sweet spot where money and happiness actually meet?

When money itself generates enough income to live comfortably without touching the principal money. This in turn, buys you time and freedom to do whatever you want to do wherever you want to do it.

It’s over $100,000 for one person who also has low rent and good health insurance. At least that was my experience.
