    When people tell me ‘money doesn’t buy happiness’, I tell them ‘it removes a lot of anxiety’.

    These people don’t have any anxiety anymore, and believe they can do anything. Most of the time they’re right.

      Money doesn’t buy happiness, it’s merely a pre-requisite for health, safety, freedom of movement, education, and social standing.

      Money can’t buy happiness, this is true, but it sure buys a shitton of opportunities to feel happy…

        Plus a bunch of stuff that was illegal when you were poor suddenly becomes perfectly legal if you’re rich enough to pay the associated fees.

        I mean, sure the police call them “fines”…but still.

      Once your basic needs are met money can’t really make you that much happier. They did a study on a bunch of people and they found that once you have all the needs met you can’t buy happiness

      Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it does make it a helluva lot easier

      If money doesn’t buy happiness all I ask for is to have to learn this hard lesson for myself.
