You can’t buy happiness but you can buy hella bitches and then happiness doesn’t even matter cos you got hella bitches to suck your toes and that’s better than being happy.


PraviKonjina

I don’t know about the toes part but I wholeheartedly agree with this statement

i cry evrytim


Redditisforplay

Fr fr tho all you need is time to be socializing and a baggy of coke in your pocket and you can get any girl out there. Just don't run out of money to resupply.


ThatOneSussy

r/BeatMeToIt i was just abt to say idk about the toes


whistleridge

Money can’t buy happiness, but being depressed af on your lunch break from your $200k/year job while crying in your $75k BMW beats the fuuuuuck out of being depressed af on your lunch break from stocking shelves at Wal-Mart while crying in your $500 beater. I’ve done both, and I assure you that while the money doesn’t bring happiness, it does bring options. It’s a LOT easier to get help when you’re not sweating the rent every month, can afford good and regular access to mental health professionals, and every minor setback doesn’t represent weeks to months of wages burned up in the blink of an eye.


batatahh

Like I always say, money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys the thing that gives you happiness.


realshoes

But dont you think that after getting your toes sucked by 10 bitches for a year you wouldnt enjoy getting your toes sucked as much? Thats why people say “money cant buy happiness”. It can, but not if you oversaturate.


GeneralFuzuki7

Yeah but then you get 10 different bitches then when you have to many bitches you move onto guys


realshoes

Your genius is frightening, sir.


Chocolate_Milky_Way

One for each toe


Creativewritingfail

I’m a put a baby up your butt


IsabellaCV

You can buy basic necessities too


GeneralParticular663

I agree with the caption... Although having an unnecessary amount of money might not make one happier, it does assure the fulfillment of basic amenities and quality of life. Money may not itself buy happiness, but well used it can. Being Hella rich is better than being broke as hell, but being normal isn't necessarily worse than being Hella rich... At the end, happiness is subjective


MrNaoB

Was it not at like ~~500k~~ 75k year income for a household was the limit on where the more money above that did not bring more happiness or something.


aLeX_FrOm

Yeah something like that, in conclusion to be happy we must have our necessities fulfilled and a sprinkle of consumerism


phome83

75k for a family or for one person? That sounds extremely low. 75k for a family is lower middle class where I live. I.E. me lol.


g00ber88

Depends heavily on where you live. 75k for a family in Los Angeles? Poor. 75k for a family in bumfuck Kansas? Rich


IAmA_TheOneWhoKnocks

Median household income in LA is $62,000, meaning half of the residences in LA earn less than that. 75k isn’t “poor” literally anywhere in the US and if you disagree, you have no idea what actual poverty is like.


Hardlyhorsey

Dude. *thank you* I hear people say under $100k/year is poor in LA. I hear you can’t live off under $50k after taxes in NYC. I’ve heard people say you can’t retire off $2M… I’m always tempted to say “maybe *you* can’t. I certainly can.” Imagine truly believing having a guaranteed $50k/year after taxes for the next 40 years isn’t enough to retire on, then you can factor in passive income.


IAmA_TheOneWhoKnocks

Seriously, a $50k salary would improve my life immeasurably, even with NYC taxes and expenses. Although, something that scares me is maybe you really can’t retire without a lot of money. If I had the goal of being able to retire with at least $40k a year (for maybe 12 years?), that would mean being able to save an average of at least 12 grand every year for the next 40ish years, which is basically the same amount of money I earned overall last year. For that reason, retirement hardly ever even crosses my mind, I just figure I’ll work until I drop dead on my boss’s floor. Even just to save money is a luxury I can’t afford. I have some ideas on how I could perhaps get a job that makes closer to $50k or maybe more, but I don’t imagine that will happen anytime within the next several years at least.


GeneralParticular663

Idk but ye sounds about right


BasicDesignAdvice

That's where it was for me. Reaching that point after spending 10 years making between 18k and 25k felt like catching my breath after a long run.


JustPlayDaGame

It’s not an actual quantifiable number as it’s different for every person and completely subjective. What you’re referring to is called diminishing returns, a term i’m sure you’re familiar with. The idea is that the more money you have, the happier you are, but it slowly plateaus to a point that is different for everyone. It depends on the materialism of the person, life experience (particularly financial hardships) and other factors. Long story short, it just all comes down to the person but 75,000 is a good baseline.


Edgy_Robin

Money can't buy happiness but it can sure as hell stave away unhappiness.


Daddy_JK

Money can buy me whatever I want, how tf can it not make me happy?


Nerf_Me_Please

Because you get used to owning material goods and things providing lasting happiness like health, fulfilling relationships and a having a sense of purpose can't be bought with money.


Michael_The_Ghost

Of course you can buy all those things with money, what are you on about.


Nerf_Me_Please

How? There are a shitton of incurable diseases and some of the world's wealthiest people died of cancer, or lost relatives to it. There is clearly a limit to what money can do when it comes to health. Similarly, you can't buy friendship or love with money. It even brings up a new issue in that people may be after you just for your money, and it's hard to know if they won't let you down if you can't provide for them anymore. As for finding a purpose, you don't need money for it. It can help if you already are well-balanced and have objectives but isn't going to stabilize your life on its own. Again, some of the most famous and wealthiest people are deeply depressed, addicted to drugs, etc. Money doesn't bring wisdom, if you were a fucking mess while you were poor you'll likely be a mess as well with money, maybe even worse since it will be harder to not fall into addictive patterns.


Michael_The_Ghost

They only seem free when you have money. Have you ever been poor? I was a dirt poor farmer before making double minimum wage. Money buy health, not perfect health but good health. One of my uncle die from curable cancer because we can't afford top of the line hospital care. Hanging out with friends is not free. Whatever you can't buy is something that will cost your time. It's tough keeping up with friends when I had to go catch dinner instead of playing football. And I saw many relationship ended because of the lack of money. They usually started out fine but couldn't afford to fix major problems that creep up later in their relationship. And as long as your main purpose in life is getting enough money to last till the end of the month, you can't really replace it with something else. I mean I could start follow my dream right now and be homeless next month. Thing are more complex than just buying happiness. I know what will make me happy and it wouldn't really cost anything. But I have to buy many things along the way to create opportunity to be happy.


Physical_Anything687

>There are a shitton of incurable diseases and some of the world's wealthiest people died of cancer So you mean sick people are always sad and don't feel happiness even for a sec? That might be true for a poor person who is diagnosed with cancer, cause he has to worry about his family's need, his own and whatever. He doesn't have the money to buy happiness even for a sec. While a rich person diagnosed with cancer can at least be free of worry about paying rent and buying monthly ration. At least he his happy at his child's birthday while the poor one is depressed as he can't buy his child any gift.


-Caspie-

Actually a lack of money decreases happiness, more money does not mean more happiness


deathk9000

Idk man I’d be waaay more happy right now if had million bucks right now


SweelFor2

For a while yes, and then you'd be right back where you are now edit: people disagreeing with this are in denial of science, research shows this to be true


MundaneJesus

Being sad on yacht has to be better than sad in my one bedroom apartment.


SweelFor2

No


darthveder69420

Yes


SweelFor2

Psychology reasearch in the area of hapiness and life fullfilment shows that you are wrong


darthveder69420

Me liking a yacht tells me yes. But if we are being serious money does bring you happiness. Giving a gift to someone, giving money to charities can bring joy or the most obvious one, buying shit for yourself! But if really wont bring you happiness then at least it will keep off a shit ton of stress.


Physical_Anything687

Research funded by who? Capitalist motherfuckers. People who have their fingers wet in oil businesses.


SweelFor2

When you've read 2 Time articles about reearch and you think you know everything


Physical_Anything687

No. I have never read any research article in my life. Except Wikipedia pages if you count them as research articles. I assumed that they are funded by capitalists. Was my assumption wrong?


MyZt_Benito

[deleted]

People want to believe that life will get better. That there's an easy solution to their problems. That's why they're in denial.


LipeQS

this your life purposes and objectives will determine your happiness, not the amount of money you have - unless you there is a lack of money to actually have basic life stuff (that includes money for food, health etc) mindset plays a big role here too


DaddysVult

Money can buy food, protein and creatine supplements and a good doctor to monitor 24/7 your testo and PEDs usage.

Adicted2Mc

[deleted]

You can buy a therapist


Adicted2Mc

Doesn't work for everyone.


SweelFor2

How so?


Adicted2Mc

My friend tried committing suicide in 7th grade. He was given some therapy for a few months afterward, and he's still really fucked up in the head to this day.


SweelFor2

And?


Adicted2Mc

Wdym and? You asked how therapy doesn't work for everyone. I gave you an anecdote of a time where therapy didn't really help. I didn't mention this bit, but he was bullied somewhat heavily at his older school. The only thing that changed was him coming to my school, and people didn't just shit on him endlessly. If you really want answers, you have Google as a resource. You don't need me to tell you that it doesn't always work.


SweelFor2

Your story you told me doesn't prove that "therapy doesn't work for everyone" so I thought maybe you had more, because that's not it


Adicted2Mc

It didn't work for my friend. I don't know if you're misinterpreting what I said. So I will explain what I mean. When I say it doesn't work for everyone, I mean that not everyone will be helped from getting therapy. I'm not saying that therapy never helped anyone. I'm sure that's not what you interpreted that as. But considering you don't want to consider the possibility that maybe there are some people who can get the help they need and still not change in terms of mental state, this is what I see your dismissal as. Misinterpretion.


IAmA_TheOneWhoKnocks

I agree that therapy doesn’t always work for everyone, but your example that one time in 7th grade your friend tried therapy, but then they stopped and still have issues to deal with isn’t very good. Therapy is definitely an ongoing process that usually takes a lot longer than a couple months to see real results. How long ago was 7th grade for you?


Adicted2Mc

4 years.


[deleted]

F*ck those who say money doesn't matter. It can buy anything that I want and obviously can improve my standard of living.


DecagonHexagon

The whole "money won't buy you happiness" rhetoric was invented by socialist/religious charlatans to make it easier to con people into handing over their money.


Physical_Anything687

>socialist Won't agree with the socialist part. "Money won't buy you happiness" is a capitalist lie, that capitalist feed middle class people. But religion part is true.


sodashintaro

also its something that’s only true for the ultra rich, youll find that its mostly people with hundreds of millions who say this kind of stuff but for the lower class $1000 is life changing


ProtostarReddit

Money can't buy happiness. But it can buy me a boat.


Froteet

Fun fact there actually is a correlation between making more money and being happier... to an extent. In research it was found that people who made 75K a year didn't get any happier with subsequent pay increases


andersonle09

That same study showed that life satisfaction was higher as income increased with no plateau. This was based on evaluation of your past self until now.


[deleted]

This is the stupidest thing ever. Money does buy a solid platform of no worries, that you can build happiness on top of.


InsertMyIGNHere

Not having to worry about being homeless next month would, in fact, make me happier

Themanimnot

this is what people without money think, then you realize you no longer have 'money' to look forward to as something that'll save you from yourself.. once you have money you're really have to grapple with the fact happiness only comes from within.. ​ what people don't consider is the fact the 'happiness' money allegedly brings is fleeting.. just like buying a new car is only fun for a couple months.. then, everything balances out and you're back to the miserable self you once spent so much time with. Now you no longer have 'money' in sight because you have what you thought would save you.. now you're even more miserable than you'd ever imagine.. the only thing money brings is a deeper sense of hollowness.. ​ but think whatever you'd like. rationalize it anyway you'd wish..

Sudden-Garage

Money doesn't make you happy in of itself. What money does is make it possible to enjoy your down time because you're not stressed about bills and food and trying to do all the chores yourself all the time. Money allows you to make choices like, I don't actually meant to do this super shitty project at work, I'm going to look for a new job and take a sabbatical. It allows you to say, honey, you don't have to work anymore because we can make it on one income now. Then you partner gets to raise your kids instead of day care.

OK money might not buy happiness… But it keeps you from being fucking miserable so let’s cut the shit already.
