Become a male prostitute then. You won't get PTSD.

Rich people will say this because they have excess and are still unhappy. They don't realize what their life would be like if they didn't have the excess.
Money can buy peace of mind, it can buy things that make you happy, it can buy a lot of things.

Because it doesn't, I'm here after all.
t. richfag

I agree. after I bought my 217th steam game my depression was finally cured
happiness/joy (dopamine spikes) does not equal fulfillment user dont fall into a cope

money = security
if you don't have money you don't have security, you could be evicted at any moment if you can't make rent, you might not be able to afford clothing, gasoline, food, etc. and if you get fired you might end up homeless. try going to a homeless guy or starving african and telling them "well actually money won't make you happy because it won't allow you to become spiritually fulfilled" or some dumb shit.

because its true? Measurably money doesnt make you happier, once you make enough to not have financial stress, more will do nothing to you.

and something retards always forget is the way to avoid financial stress isnt only "make more money" but also generally be more frugal, dont take loans, etc.

Makes sense too. for the same reason you can be in an airplane going 300mph, if its going a constant speed you wont feel anything. your emotions are based around what change youre experiencing. even if you get everything you THINK you want, after years of stagnation you'll feel the same as you did before. It goes the opposite way too. people who suffer horrible losses, like getting their legs blown off, usually return to their baseline after getting acclimated to the loss

Those that say that are usually rich themselves and don't understand what's it like having no money.
Money can get you anything. Happiness, security, peace of mind, being able to do things you weren't before, etc. If I had money I'd most certainly be happy.

See The richfags in this thread assuming they're not larping are so stuck in their own bubble that they cannot even imagine the concept of being poor.

>if you don't have money you don't have security
Security isn't happiness and wage cucking isn't a real job for adults. Shove your moral fagging far up your ass, it doesn't work here.

why should they? poor people are subhuman cattle

We're trying to have a serious discussion here. Go back being a rich lazy fat piece of shit on your sofa or something.

True happiness is something that only other people can give you. You're materialistic user...

the archetypal "normalfag" according to this board is almost universally upper middle class.
upper middle class people say this because they've never dealt with the unending nightmare that is financial instability
either that, or they've forgotten how it feels. they're correct in that simply massing wealth won't make you happy. but being able to afford nice things absolutely will

>Security isn't happiness
oh shit, so I guess all those homeless single mothers wouldn't be happier if they didn't have to worry about the ever looming fact their children might go hungry if they ever get fired.

Yea money can buy happiness for people in extreme poverty that's true

>"you can't get happiness from money"
>"what about poor people?"
>"oh, I guess you can lol"
Retarded namefag as expected.

Money can only buy happiness if you actually have hobbies, interests, and activities you participate in. Money enhances those things and allows you to do more of them. If your life consists of sitting in your mom's basement watching anime and jerking off, you won't be any happier sitting in a mansion watching anime and jerking off.

Most people aren't homeless single mothers so for them money can't buy happiness. Fair?

>homeless single mothers
>their children
Kill them, their children, and yourself.

>If your life consists of sitting in your mom's basement watching anime and jerking off, you won't be any happier sitting in a mansion watching anime and jerking off.
Uugh, achtually
>Better gaming setup
>Better masturbation toy
>Better food
>Being able to move out of your parents basement and getting yourself a comfy small apartment

I'm incapable of working and going to be homeless in a couple of months. I think having money would make me quite fucking happy.
Why the hell are namefags always so retarded, holy shit.

>Most people aren't homeless single mothers
Stretching.
Most people are poor, that's a fact. If you seriously think that giving them money won't give them happiness then you're delusional.
I am not even talking about rich level of money, just enough money for them to buy food, taxes and some left overs to pay for their hobbies.

Well, most people aren't incapable of working and are going to be homeless in a couple of months
True you changed my mind

>I enjoy Rising Storm 2
>my computer runs Rising Storm 2 like shit
>if I had enough money to get a good gaming PC setup I could run the game at a higher FPS, turn up the graphics quality, etc.
>this would make me happier
there's a basic example of money increasing happiness.

>I enjoy Rising Storm 2
once again the subhuman poorfag outs himself as completely fucking retarded
play ostfront or atleast ro2/rs1
the reason why you are poor is because you are stupid as fuck
the only use you have to the rest of humanity is as cheap wageslave labour

>NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST LIKE GAMES I DON'T LIKE! BECAUSE...BECAUSE I'M A FAGGOT!

>he is also a wojak poster
sasuga poorfag

Because they have more than enough money to live on and be productive and happy, but they're too stupid to actually use it properly. Whoever claims that, just tell them to give half of their money to you and maybe altruism will make them happy.

It's their coping mechanism for being poor
I've never heard anyone that's rich claim that money can't buy happiness

I've only ever heard rich or well-off people say it.

Money doesn't buy happiness for normalfags. The only people that can buy happiness are the people that are fine with nothing.

>I cant escape poverty!
Why do mentally retarded lazy people say this?

Material things can lay down the framework for enjoyment, but things are generally enjoyed more with other people and anyone who says otherwise is coping.

just stop being poor bro, just get a good job and degree like a snap of a finger :3

Money can buy access to shelter, food, and healthcare. It's easier to be happy when you have those compared to when you need them and don't.

A marginal increase, user-kun.

Your assumption is that money buys happiness, not that homeless people envy rich people.

Try going to a depressed rich man and telling him to just be happy because of his money. Try going to a dying cancer patient and telling him to be happy because hes not getting evicted.

You are factually incorrect, and there are countless studies and articles on this point. Money may improve quality of life to some extent, but then it just becomes your new normal. If you dont have close family or friend or lover relationships, you will almost invariably be unhappy or regretful about your life.

Any increase proves that money does buy happiness.

>if its not a snap of a finger then its not worth doing
Poor people are a sick joke

Would you say the same about drugs? Just do heroin and youll be happy

I honestly don't know.
Money is everything in this world, money itself doesn't make you happy, yes. But using it properly will.
If you have money you can live a stress free life, not having to worry about food, a roof over your head, security etc. You have a better chance of finding love since you can comfortably do long distance relationships, you have to money to fly anywhere after all. You can do things that otherwise weren't possible due to having no money. If you've problems with your body, money can fix that, be it either something actually wrong with it or just vanity to make you feel better about yourself.
Anything who thinks money can't bring you happiness is a delusional brainlet who can't seem to understand how much money matters in this world of ours. Is money needed for happiness? Depends on the person, ofc, but with money, almost everyone would be happier since they have more opportunist and way less problems.

you think drugs dont make you happy? lol

If they're making you happy, yes. If they also ruin your life, then you can say money buys the ability to ruin your life.

if you've ever been in a state where you can't afford basic necessities, then money will absolutely be able to buy you happiness later on in life because you don't take it for granted

Why we talking about money then lol! Heroin is cheap and easy to get!

Just admit you used a poorly thought out defense.

>Try going to a dying cancer patient and telling him to be happy because hes not getting evicted.
Yes, a person having their shriveled cock blown by 6 Thai trannies every day during chemo who secured the existence for his entire family and children will clearly be equally as happy as the dude dying of cancer in a literal ditch while botflies eat his eyes.

how is a poor people suppose to afford expensive colleges to get good degrees and get said good jobs? if it was that easy, poor people wouldn't exist at all and homelessness would be 0% besides what fucking retarded druggies. And don't mention trades faggot cause we all know that shit is fucking garbage grunt work with shit pay.

I honestly hope you're pretending, one can't be this retarded.

>rich people cant die in ditches
word

user, he's just bating, leave it be.

>if its not extremely easy then its not worth doing
I truly hope that you learn your lesson the hard way

Because there are different forms of happiness. The happiness you feel from getting a 3rd free scoop of icecream for free is not the same, as having a loving partner or completing a lifelong goal for an example.

If your goal is to be rich, then no matter how rich you are, you will eternally move the goalpost and want more.
If happiness is having food, playing games on a new pc, you will soon feel empty, because once you buy all those there wont be a meaning to your life. You basically did it all. Then you just exist. And you already dod that without money.
That being said if you get happiness from being able to cook constantly, money will allow you to improve, find new ways of doing it, new recipes to try, invest and share. If you get happiness from exploring various game worlds, stories, mechanics, diffixulties, competitive gaming or whatever, money will let you do that as well.

Money makes it easier to reach your (certain) goals and diversify. If youre an empty shell with no goals, no vision or passions, no amount of money will change that.

What sort of leaps did you have to do in your head to arrive at that thought?

We are agreeing that both money and heroin can make someone happy. If someone wants to be happy but doesnt have much money, they can just get heroin. And the whole debate about money is irrelevant

Your shit argument is comparing someone with a family vs someone dying alone. It has nothing to do with money. If you think any dying cancer patient is happy despite all the evidence to the contrary then the logical leaps are from your gay ass

You're actually retarded like said, god damn.
I'll humor you. What if someone doesn't have enough money to afford heroin? Then money does still buy happiness.
Two things can provide happiness at the same time, user. One thing providing happiness doesn't make the other irrelevant.

>afford heroin
That person has already died of starvation.

Okay now I see you're just trolling. You got me.

Money definitely buys happiness. That can be a number of different things, from something simple like buying a new videogame, to buying a vacation to explore new places and have new experiences, to buying a surgery that saves your life. Money makes the world go around, but delusional people who want the world to be all rainbows and unicorns delude themselves into thinking it's not true.

Not a troll. Someone who is dead cant be happier or unhappier, retard.

holy fuck, just get the fuck out you boomer faggot

What if you don't like traveling, youre not sick to need surgery and don't like video games?

Food can be obtained for less money than heroin and we both know this, now debate the actual point rather than deflecting.

>>Your shit argument is comparing someone with a family vs someone dying alone. It has nothing to do with money.
Yeah, knowing that everyone in your family will die of starvation when you die because you were the sole provider of berries and clean water makes you just as happy as seeing them be captains of each one's respective industries and skyping with you from london paris rome and tokyo.

The actual point is that if you are in a position that you can get food, you can get heroin. And if heroin makes someone happy, they dont really need more money.

Your whole premise doesnt even have numbers or frame of reference to it. You and the other poorfags just want to appear like unhappy victims on a background of immoral rich people.

Regardless of all your coping and comparisons that are designed to make you unhappy no matter how much money or heroin you have, the only consistent things that people need are relationships first and relative safety second. Talking about how money gets you there is maybe ok, but it misses the point. Talking about extreme examples on either side misses the point, since there is undoubtedly an example of an african child who feels happiness. The point being that you dont need more money to be happy.

If you don't need anything in life then yeah, money won't bring you happiness since you'll probably already be happy.
Most people if not almost all would be happier with money and you have to be very delusional to believe otherwise.

>2020
>picking berries for a living and then posting on Yas Forums

>African children feel happiness
So do other animals when they get to chase their own tail, the discussion is about actual people.

Actual people dont have money problems though.

Money buys heroin, heroin makes you happy. Money buys happiness.

I'm not poor, and I'm not sure why you're calling me a poorfag or assuming I want to appear unhappy. I'm not even saying rich people are immoral. I'm simply saying that money can buy happiness.
>since there is undoubtedly an example of an african child who feels happiness
That's fine and all, but no one is saying money is the only thing that provides happiness. Money can provide happiness, but it's not the only thing. You're too narrow-sighted if you think that's what's being said.

>since you'll probably already be happy.
Why would I be happy? Why do you all think all people need to be in some ecstasy state and feel happy all the time?

user, just stop replying to him, he's too far gone in his delusions, nothing you say will actually reach him.

Work earns money. Work creates happiness. Agree and shut up

>Work creates happiness
How does work create happiness?

I said probably user, please learn to read. People are different after all.
>Why do you all think all people need to be in some ecstasy state and feel happy all the time?
What are you even on about? Are you on drugs or something?

Money doesnt buy happiness but being poor can sure make you sad..

Poor people dream of being materialists but once you have holidays, medical bills, living in a nice area, can afford everything you need, wealth no longer buys happiness

Poor people think buying LV bags will make you happy

>once you're happy you can't become happier
Yeah you can unless you're retarded.

Humans need to feel valued. unfortunately most peoples jobs involve working in a cubicle where they arent valued. But meaningful, rewarding work with high autonomy causes happiness.
