      Stability is the most important thing it provides. After that, it provides even more opportunities for happiness.

      You can buy better food. You can pay someone to do your chores gaining back time to rest and have a hobby. You can afford better than the most basic healthcare in the US. You can support causes you really believe in. You can get therapy. You can take a trip. Those things won’t make you happy, but they can contribute to happiness.

        This is all true. 100%

        I just think some might be over looking the virtue of ‘money can’t buy happiness.’ For example, and this is just one example, if we were to scale back some of our consumer habits it might go a short way in helping the environment.

        Also it’s important to not put a price tag on happiness because even when you’re at the very end of your rope it’s still possible to enjoy a laugh. That’s just how some of us cope.

        Money can buy happiness. Can buy stability. Can buy relief and downtime. It’s just not the only way to be happy.

        Edit: money can also buy some high grade smack that will put to shame the best orgasm you’ve ever had. Jus sayin.
