A yacht may not make me happy but I’m willing to test the theory.

You can’t buy happiness, but you can definitely rent paradise. Which tends to make people happy.

You realize this saying is actually true when you notice Elon Musk is the saddest, most miserable loser alive and hes also one of the richest

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy the removal of discomfort which tends to make happiness easier to achieve.

Its not a binary at a certain point more money wont buy you anything but toys.. it wont buy a faithful wife or true friends. However haveing enough money so you dont have to.worry about paying bills and covering expenses will definitely make your life happier.

If I was rich I would be so much happier. Buy myself a nice home, decent car, and then give tons of it away via gifts to friends and family along with charity.

Of course I can find some poor person living their best life or some affluent curmudgeon who is miserable af….but on average happiness increases with income.
True. I mean, not everything you buy will make you happy, but you definitely can afford the things that make you happy, like food, and a family. Its hard for poorer people to have those things for example.
I remember when I was younger, my family would only go to chinese buffet on birthdays, but we climbed up high enough to eat out every sunday.

Poor people: “money doesn’t matter”
Rich people: “please keep thinking that”

Comfort, belonging, and access to needs and every day simple luxuries provides happiness.
Excessive money provides fear of losing said money.

“Money doesn’t buy happiness” was a caution against excessive wealth, not meant to scold people in poverty.

It buys you time which you can use to make yourself happy. Time to enjoy life an indeed do this.
Only real answer.
Whether you can utilize that time in healthy ways is up to you. Lots of ways to make your life worse with time.

“You can’t buy happiness” originally meant that no matter how much money you have/accumulate, it doesn’t lead to a happy life.
It’s been twisted to tell poor people to accept their status.

Maybe money does not but happiness but, I rather be sad on my yacht than a apartment that’s falling apart.

If you’re a miserable person inside before money, you WILL be worse with it. Buying fancy cars and a big ass house aint gonna fix your shitty personality, or mental issues

Money buys the most important commodity… Time. You’d be amazed how much time your free up when you can just pay people to do your chores for you and you don’t have to go to a day job 40 hours a week.

You can buy happiness with money. The problem is many rich people are so over-stimulated with happiness that there is no amount of money that can get them all the way anymore

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy security, and security makes me happy.

Money can’t buy happiness, that’s true……
In the sense that it can’t buy un-hungaryness. You buy food and you eat food and you no longer hungry, you don’t buy un-hungary directly you see.
