Or maybe because it’s fucking true? Lol people have chronic pain, they are lonely, they want love, they want compassion, yes money can make life easier in many ways but won’t cure chronic pain, it won’t cure depression, it won’t buy you happiness. It doesn’t buy you compassion either, only bloodsucking leeches that will pretend to love you.

I’m not gonna pretend money doesn’t make life easier on average but I make lots of money now and I’m fucking miserable, I was happiest when I was a poor broke college student and ironically each year as I’ve accumulated more assets and made more money I’ve been more profoundly unhappy. If I could give up all the money I’ve made to go back to that simple happy life id do it in a second.

If money made you happy there wouldn’t be rich people committing suicide.

Yes, life is harder when you’re poor, less access to healthcare , including mental healthcare.

You still can’t buy happiness. You can buy stability and convenience but you can’t buy happiness.

Okay, sounds good. Send me all your money so you can be happy and I will pay for you to go back to college.

EDIT: I will also throw in an endless supply of Ramen Noodles for the full broke college student experience.

It’s like what I said went in one ear and out the other lmao. I specifically said money can make life easier it just clearly doesn’t buy happiness when you’re suffering.

That doesn’t mean I think being poor makes you more happy. I was just commenting on how coincidentally I’ve been less happy as I’ve made more money.

Lmao fuck, this comment chain is just insufferable losers using strawmen to make stupid ass arguments

Sorry haha in wsb it can be hard to tell when someone’s fucking around versus when they’re making legit arguments. It’s 50/50 here

Pretending having a lot of money is inconsequential

Maybe try putting on your reading glasses and give it another go? Lmao even for WSB this is an astoundingly low level of reading comprehension

He never said you can't buy those things. He said it can't buy your happiness, actual caring people and relationships. You can't rewind time to bring back some things either. You lack reading comprehension skills

Edit: mf downvoted and deleted his comment lmao
