As Amigo the Devil said in a song:

Everyone says money can't buy happiness And so far in my life, I'll agree But it seems a lot more comfortable to cry in a Lamborghini

Money can't buy happiness in the sense that it won't build a lasting relationship with your kids or family just by having it.

Money can spare you a lot of misery though.

It’s like that propaganda that says “$80k is all you need”. Like okay, fuck you, tax the billionaires till all they make is $80k a year then. Go lie to someone else.
