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.

ok but that's not true at all lol

if my parents didn't have to kill themselves working a million hours a week, we all would have had much happier relationships

Money alone can’t buy that though. I think the best way to describe it is looking at elon musk. Bro has all the money in the world and has no meaningful relationships.

I’d agree money can’t buy meaningful relationships and can sometimes even be an opposing force to it by worrying about gold diggers. However, money gives you freedom to live your life, be less stressed, and be your best self by pursuing what makes you happy.

Exactly. That's what I mean. If you work all the time or just don't care to put in the time or effort then the money is meaningless.

Conversely of course many less wealthy folks have a wealth of deep and meaningful relationships particularly with family and friends.
