There's a reason the English saying is 'Money can't buy happiness', not 'money doesn't matter'.
The point is that it isn't money that makes you happy, it is the life you build. That can be different for different people, and money can help. The point is that money isn't the goal.
- phone8675309 3y agoMoney can't buy happiness, but it does make the sad times easier.
- 2toxic 3y agomoney can't buy happiness, indeed, but it's more comfortable to cry in a leather chair inside a mercedes, than on the bus.
- phone8675309 3y agoYes, that's the point I'm trying to make.
- meiraleal 3y agoNot really: if one is happy with money then gets sad, money doesn't help it. Poor people think that money fix sadness but that's not true. A meaningful life brings happiness, poor or rich
- phone8675309 3y agoI'd rather be rich and sad than poor and sad.

- Jcowell 3y agoPoor people do not think money fix sadness lol. They just think it fixes a lot of the things that does make you sad, like not being able to pay rent, afford a meal for upper family, buy christmas presents for your kids, pay to get your car fixed. etc.
- meiraleal 3y ago> Poor people do not think money fix sadness lol. I've been poor for a long time. Trust me, daydreaming about money fixing all the problems is one of the biggest if not the biggest time killer/entertainment. What I noticed climbing the ladder is that some people are happy and some people are sad independently of the income. And if much it seems that I met happier people in general when I was poor than now. I was happy in my poorest time and I'm still happy, which helps me see through it without the constraints of money.
