Great quote!
- ohstopitu 9y agoa friend of mine used to say "you can cry in a corolla, or in a Ferrari, but I sure as hell would want to cry in a Ferrari"
- homulilly 9y agoIt's something only the fabulously wealthy can say. For almost everyone else, even if money doesn't directly make you happier, it removes the vast majority of barriers to attaining happiness (though clearly not all of them). I know I'm much happier now that I make six figures and don't have to worry as much about medical bills, rent, food and so on and have disposable income to direct into new hobbies I couldn't have afforded before (fishkeeping and hydroponics in my case).

- fulafel 9y agoMost places in western countries provide citizens medical and food/shelter security without being wealthy.
