That's rubbish. A lot of rich people suffer from depression, to the point of suicide.
- godelski 7y agoThat's missing the point of the saying.
- crooked-v 7y agoBeyond the surface-level pithiness of the joke, the point is that having money may not guarantee happiness, but it makes it a lot easier to distract oneself with viscerally pleasant experiences and engage in new hobbies that may in fact lead to genuine happiness.
- mc32 7y agoHmmm. Bourdain, Robin Williams. I don’t think you can distract yourself from depression.
- dunstad 7y agoRobin Williams actually had a degenerative brain disease. I know a lot of the news didn't wait long enough for that information about his situation to come out, but it's on Wikipedia.
- zestyping 7y agoI appreciate that it says you never SEE an unhappy person riding a jet ski. Whether or not it generates happiness, money can make happiness more visible. That's worth a moment of reflection.
- Can_Not 7y agoThey did a study once that indicated the first 95k buys happiness, but money after that, not so much.
