Money does indeed buy happiness, and it increases with a bigger paycheque more than economists previously believed, a recent analysis has found.

Money doesnt buy happiness.
Money buys medical care, that leads to happiness.
It buys good food, which leads to happiness.
it buys shelter and transportation, that leads to happiness.
Having money removes one of the biggest, most miserable stressors in the vast majority of peoples lives… Which leads to more happiness.
It offers freedom to splurge and do something for yourself, which improves your happiness.
Money cant buy happiness, but money can buy a fuckload of the things you need to give you happiness.
Exactly.
I’m well off enough that I don’t have to worry about anything breaking. A new bike, washing machine, even entire kitchen would of course be a nuisance, but not bother me financially.
I also saved enough and live frugal enough that I could easily live years without any income.
That gives me so much more peace of mind. I don’t have to worry about getting fired, I don’t have to worry about a stolen bike, etc.
A good friend of mine has a good degree, but in a much less comfortable field. She’s constantly worried that she might be let go, since she’s not earning that much, has to pay back loans and lives in an expensive city. And even she is still privileged, because at least she’s not a single mom without formal qualifications.
There’s a small bit of truth in that saying so it makes more sense to phrase it from the opposite perspective: “Money cant buy happiness, but money can fix a fuckload of the things that cause unhappiness.”
Medical care doesn’t lead to happiness, but lack of medical care surely causes unhappiness
Idk you don’t sound like a random idiot. Makes pretty good sense to me lol
