Would you be happier if you had more money?

[KolK]

I would, and probably much less suicidal.

Maybe if I just had a few more grand in my account, or just a hundred more every month, I would have been happier, led a better life and feel less useless.

 

[Isadeth]

It might make my life easier, but I don't think it would take away the suicidal ideation entirely, so still not genuinely happy.

 

[yive]

i would die young anyway, i just don't want a long life

 

[_Kaira_]

Well it would make life a little bit easier. Certainly wouldn't stop me from wanting to ctb though.

 

[Superdeterminist]

It would definitely make me happier, but ultimately I don't think it would be enough to make me want to stay.

 

[nerve]

I'd still be just as much of a mess if I had money, like it wouldn't solve all my problems, I just wouldn't be backed into such a difficult corner if I could financially support myself or had options for treatment.

I'd definitely be a lot less bored though!

 

[demuic]

I would still CTB, but would experience a few more things before that, like drugs.

 

[stygal]

If I was to wait long enough I'd have the chance of inheriting some more...but I wouldn't want to wait for such an trivial thing (to me).
At the moment I'm happy to have enough to live comfortably...more wouldn't change my overall situation.

 

[Dead beat dad]

Money can't buy happiness... But I guess it can rent it for a while...
I'll always maintain crying in a ferrari beats crying in a dumpster but doesn't change the fact you're crying.
I've got a bunch of money, but I can't spend it, so more would be nice but it's a bit irrelevant.

DBD

 

[Weary Soul]

I can't say that I would be happier, but it might enable me to get some help for the brain injuries I have sustained. And this, in turn, may or may not change my mind about ctb, I do not know really. Sometimes though, I think even with help, the struggle is just too damn much.

Right now I feel pretty hopeless and am trying to hold on until the end of the month because of the holidays.

Currently, I am running on financial fumes and am about to lose my home. Because of many factors, including the TBIs, I will not survive without a home, and so here I am.

[WornOutLife]

I would be really happy for some time but then, suicidal as usual and, it'd probably be easier to get a gun or SN so I could finally die in peace.
Money helps a lot but it is not the salvation. Just look at how many celebrities and millionaires have CTB anyway.

 

[Nexuno]

If you are not a greedy-demon-like person you'll find yourself with more problems. It's incredibly hard to manage big sums of money and avoid to vaporize them into thin air (which is actually what is, very likely, going to happen...). Also the kind of happiness that money can give you it's not real happiness, it's a "promise of happiness" ;)

 

[aeon]

If I had enough money to buy an island and leave civilisation behind then yes, it would make me happier.

 

[KleinerWolf]

oh well, depends how substantial.

I could start a restaurant business,
I could buy a house or apartment to live in and stop renting with strangers,
I could buy citizenship with 5 million dollars or something like that.

Certain things money can't fix,
Some are available on the market,
Just depends you can afford it.
It's like if you are North Korean, specialty food is available but it costs money.

 

[I screwed up]

Yes .. Would make life much easy

 

[Worthless_nobody]

Yes yes and yes. Money would solve a lot of problems including allowing me to actually go to therapy, and get treatments for my mental and physical issues... because I really don't want to ctb I feel forced. I wish I had the money to try and feel better before ctb...but I don't.

 

[justsad&done]

No. Money can't bring back the one I love or fix loneliness.

 

[NodusTollens]

It would certainly help.

Maybe I'd be able to afford the medical care I need, maybe I would be living in a place that benefited me in lieu of simply being all I can afford.

Though it won't change how I feel about myself or the trauma that resurfaces in flashbacks/in my nightmares.

 

[Kruger]

No. It won't shrink the tumour in my head or ease my indescribable grief.

 

[Bigpink]

Buy a small place to live by myself and feel free.

 

[clownangel]

Money & stability would help most things for me. Not worrying about everything, medical care/therapy/etc. Would probably still have whatever issues but things would seem a bit less hopeless than they do on the poverty line.

 

[neitherherenorthere]

Buy a small place to live by myself and feel free.

Same. I've always imagined it would be nice to be able to live in an isolated cabin someplace and just distance myself from the world, and not feel like a burden on society and the people I know.

 

[Øystein]

I'd be happy because I would have more and better options to CTB. Other than that, money can bring me no happiness whatsoever, and solves pretty much none of my problems.

 

[suicidal257]

I would use it to start a new life somewhre else, perhaps even with new identity. Maybe combined with lifestyle changes I could make with the money, I could be happier.

 

[drwt]

No. I have money but I don't even want to buy anything.

 

[Tintypographer]

Nope.

I would, and probably much less suicidal.

Maybe if I just had a few more grand in my account, or just a hundred more every month, I would have been happier, led a better life and feel less useless.

Not at all. The money doesn't help. It seems like it should and I suppose that having money keeps you from depression associated with money problems but for me it's all just the same. We had a billionaire in the US who spiraled into drugs and depression recently and died suspiciously in his park cities mega mansion of a fire that started during the depths of his drug fueled depression with him setting hundreds of candles on fire and the fire department barricaded out of the burning building unable to reach him and with him not answering calls or attempts to find him.

The minecraft's creator with 3 billion in cash from his sale to microsoft tweeted about his severe depression and loneliness.

I and not a billionaire and can afford any medical care and therapy through my job and I find no meds, therapy, cognitive stuff or anything else helps.

Money doesn't solve it.

 

[Buffy5120]

No cus money cant cure any of my illnesses i have 10 +

 

[HopelessBorderline]

I'd be happier.
I feel trapped and controlled in every aspect of my life. The way I see it is unless you're born to an advantaged life, i.e rich parents, whatever. You live, work to fund the already rich, then rot to death.
If I had money I'd travel the world. I want to see culture, I want to adventure, I want to experience what the world has to offer.
I would never afford to do so in a million years. Even if I worked my ass to the bone.
Money controls everything.
I know they say money doesn't make happiness. But it helps to get you to your dreams, no body can convince me otherwise.

 

[Nymph]

Yeah, if I didn't have to work and could just live from the money and get all the stuff I want then that would be my dream life

 

[ZardozOmega]

Yes, but it would only move the suicide date a few months
