Beautiful historic places and good restaurants aren't superficial - they can be deeply rewarding, and honestly, I know my life would dramatically improve with financial security. Anyone who is rich and unhappy and doesn't ever have to worry about being homeless - which is a real reality for too many of us - definitely needs therapy. People get depressed and choose to end their life and I can understand that, but I also see that money is a HUGE burden for so many of us.But for some people, those things only bring superficial, ephemeral enjoyment and happiness. And after a while, they can cease to bring even that. Some of the times I've been the most unhappy in my life were when I was on what should have been fabulous vacations (e.g. touring beautiful historic places, dining at the best restaurants, staying at the nicest hotels, etc). I knew how fortunate I was to be able to do these things, and I felt like I should be happy and enjoying it, but this just made the empty sadness feel even worse.
I actually really envy people who can truly enjoy life by having/spending money, and I don't doubt that there are people for whom this is the case. But money isn't a panacea for everyone. If it were, then rich people wouldn't CTB*
* I know not everyone on this list was rich, but many were. It's also just a list of 21st century suicides. The list would of course be much longer if it went further back in time. It also would be much longer if it also included people who attempted (but survived) suicide.
Money is just a tool, not an end in itself, for some people.Can money really make you happy?
He takes ketamine or his depressionElon Musk is a good example that money can't buy happiness...
He spends most of his time on Twitter spouting any bullshit he thinks, he bullies people as he pleases, he is a compulsive liar, etc etc.
He's FILTHY rich.... Rich on the outside, but miserable on the inside.
This is so true... "Happiness" is an elusive carrot on a stick and we, humans, are a donkey chasing It — perennially.the whole idea of "happiness" feels like a shallow delusion invented by humans
Exactly. I'm on a group of people sharing tips on how to save money. There are seniors in the group who are living out of their CARS. They'd look at the people who feell 'money can't buy happiness' and spit in their faces - and they'd be right. Their roof over their head right now is a CAR. Money would absolutely buy happiness. In the US it also buys you health rather than poverty.It can give you peace of mind and relief from worries so in my book that is happiness.
Money can't buy happiness but it sure can make some difference , it will create outer happiness temporarily , but inner happiness can only be achieved through pure self love and acceptance(Sorry for poor English my English sucks) I just wanted to know can money really buy happiness? Like if I do hardwork and become rich and successful will that make me happy? I personally think it can but temporary but if it's true then what's the point of chasing your dream and doing hardwork when you eventually gonna feel sad and lonely again because of your other problems. Many people say money can make you happy but there were many people/artist who were famous, rich and some of them even had family and love and most likely everything a person need in their life then what made them commit Suicide? Can money really make you happy?
Deciding on which supercar to ride or what fancy resturant or vacation to choose must be so fucking depressing, Poor wealthy people.I think it's bullshit, personally. It sounds like it would make sense on the surface, but money isn't merely luxury goods, good food and a nice house. Money can afford you stability, having money to fall behind reduces stress. Money pays for healthcare and money can save your life. The 1% live such alien lives from all the rest of us, never having to worry about the problems which the scarcity of money causes in a poor society. They are so out of touch because they own everything, and have endless mobility because of status.
You took the words of my mouth, Atleast i won't have to meet this freaks that throw their shit at me so i can exist.Money won't buy happiness but it can buy me the right to exist on Earth without being made to struggle against other apes which have not received an emotional education and remain only interested in serving their own needs.
