Показать описание
Money makes the world go round. Aside from an extreme minority, we all need money to live our lives. But there are differences in how we handle money and how we experience its value. Some get by with little, and others are perpetual squanderers. Some are perfectly content earning a modest salary supporting their frugal lifestyles; others have millions, live lavishly, and only crave more. So it seems that the amount of money you have doesn’t correlate with how happy you feel. But does that mean that money cannot buy you happiness? Not necessarily.

What money buys is “Freedom” to do more things…… it’s the freedom that actually gives you happiness

"Can money buy happiness?" is a perfect example of a yes-no question. Both scenarios are philosophically correct and deep.

Being in a situation where I am finally able to save lots of money as an adult for the first time not only has been rewarding and a relief but it has taught me three things about the dollar.
1. It provides comfort.
2. It provides security.
3. It allows you to pursue your hobbies, passions and individual interests in life.

Having lots of money isn't a guarantee of happiness, but it sure does make life a whole lot easier. It's way better than being poor.

I always say that it may not buy happiness, but it for sure takes a weight off of your shoulders that im sure no one can deny. The thought of waking up in the morning and not worrying about finances is such a blessing.

If it can buy freedom from the daily grind, that would be what happiness looks like to me.

Yes it can provide happiness to a certain degree. After certain threshold it doesn't make you more happy, it just grants you more opportunities, as long as reaching this level of income doesn't consume you.

There was this line in one of Hitchcock's films: "Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy off unhappiness".

As per my experience, both too much money and too little money can lead to unhappiness. Money in Moderation is the key to happiness!

The answer is both yes and no according to both science and philosophy it’s idiotic to assume that if we just have a bunch of money and buy a bunch of stuff we’ll be happy but it can also grant us happiness by allowing us to provide for others and experience different things etc
