Giving people money to rise them out of poverty does buy happiness

Greedily accumulating wealth after you have enough money for anything you could have ever needed doesn’t

Directly, money can’t. But lack of it sure as shit can cause a lot of misery.

Source: Used to be poor and miserable. Now I’m doing reasonably well, and I have time and mental capacity to focus on things that make me happy.

It’s a case of diminishing returns, if you had 100k in your bank account you’d probably feel the freedom to indulge in modest luxury pretty much at whim - if you have 200M it just turns into a number-go-up situation.

I don’t know, I figure I could make a pretty positive impact on the world with that kind of seed money. And that would certainly make me extra special happy!

200M barely gets you a penthouse at in this monstrosity. That’s peanuts.

Give me a billion dollars so I can find out.

You mean being able to afford to live makes people… happy?

No, that can’t be!

💵 One happiness please.

Duh. The phrase is meant to mean an excess of money can't buy you happiness - having enough money to pay off what you need to, and being able to spend some on yourself without worrying where your next paycheck comes from will of course make you more happy!

So when are we going to stop treating this people like its their Divine Right to hold all these resources they’ll never use?

I’m worried about my water possibly being shut off because I’ve been too sick to work, and I can’t afford a doctor because I don’t have health insurance because I’m self-employed. I’m self-employed because my health is too unstable to keep a “normal job”. So I’m stressed which makes me get sick more often.

If I had money, I’d not have to worry about the basics of living and survival.

Money absolutely can buy happiness, if you’re burdened by the stress of not having any.
