It irks me when people categorically state money buys happiness as a rebuttal to the old cliche; because it doesn’t, and insisting it does just seems like contrarianism.

Money certainly does solve many problems that cause misery, and removing misery is a essential step on the path to happiness. Isn’t that a noble enough message?

There are loads of people with plenty of money who are not actually happy. So simply saying “money can buy happiness” also minimizes the real problems of real people.

Ppl mix the way that capitalism treat the poor with “money buys happiness”, no, money is just a band aid for some individuals escape the hell.

And while being in the hell has a big impact in your mental health, leaving it does not automatically makes you a happy person.

This is the meme that lives at the intersection of fetishizing and resenting the wealthy!
