My happiness has actually increased since I was put on disability tbqh

But then again, I was never one to be overly obsessed with material items and wealth.

Money 100% can buy happiness

It can't buy fulfillment though.

Money makes one happier.

If people disagree, let me find out for myself.

And there's plenty of rich folks that are living in it up.

Those folks that aren't are just miserable people.

Money makes things a lot easier, but there are some things it can't do jack shit about, like finding genuine love.

We are a few years away from building those

A lot of rich people are actually drug addicts, alcoholics, etc. to drown out the pain and the money doesnt help. It fuels their unhealthy behaviors.

These same people would be worse without the money.

People confuse money with fame as well.

IIRC there is a limit to where money makes you happy.

It's somewhere in the six figures I think. Something like you spend more time making money than enjoying it typically when you're past six figures.

Money would literally buy happiness for me. I'm happy overall; my only real source of stress comes from not having enough money.

That's just what poor people tell themselves, to believe that being poor isn't so bad.

Even if money can't buy happiness, it sure can make a lot of problems that might make you unhappy, go away.

No, but it makes you happier with diminishing returns in happiness. A person living comfortably with $100k a year is going to be much happier vs. a person making $20k a year and scrapping by life. The same person making $100k will probably be as happy if not maybe more than the person making $30 million a year.

Money doesn't buy happiness. It buys freedom.

Whether you decide to use that freedom for happiness or not is up to you.

It depends on the person. Some people won't be happy no matter what they have. I most certainly would be happy with great wealth, and I wish somehow I would get the chance to prove it lol

iirc the sweet spot researchers found was people earning around 80,000-120000. Of course, there are several factors like cost of living and career.

I have a second cousin in Asia who is filthy rich (probably over 500 million now) and extremely happy from what I can tell. Barely works much and travels all the time with his family.
