Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a lot of the prerequisites
I’d argue it can by happiness in a very literal sense since you can pay people to do things you don’t want to do, thus freeing up your time enjoy however you like.
Having to not do certain things may not make you happy either. Maybe you have some other problems
Being able to spend your time doing things you want to do obviously makes everyone happier.
Does that? Yes. That alone? No!
Context matters. This is an appropriate statement to make to someone who has enough to live a comfortable life but is always chasing more. But to say it to someone struggling to make ends meet is just incredibly disrespectful.
And with all due respect we all know what this meme is about and it isn’t the former.
It may be essential, but not sufficient. That’s all this statement claims.
Put another way “having money isn’t everything, not having it is”
Okay but for the vast majority of us living on the precipice of homelessness and always budgeting for how much ramen noodles we can afford it is crass and insensitive and this meme is calling that out.
Unless you are advocating mass redistribution of the ill gotten gains of capital please shut the fuck up with this condescending debate pervert bullshit.
after a certain point*
i doubt someone like elon musk is as happy as he is rich, id argue the opposite.
being debt free and unworried about cash would make me happier tho
That’s just how rich people say they’re too dumb to figure out what makes them happy.

No happiness… just material needs.Money can buy happiness, but happiness doesn’t have a delivery service. You have to go pick it up yourself.
Money can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a yacht and pull right up next to it
