Sometimes I wonder if the folk wisdom that "money doesn't buy happiness" is an attempt by the poor to make themselves feel better about their own life situations.
- Viliam1234 2y agoThat, combined with the inability to distinguish between "often" and "always". Yes, there is one rich person whose life sucks, so money doesn't always buy happiness. But there are thousands of poor people whose lives suck, so maybe being rich actually significantly decreases the risk.
