money can’t make you happy when money didn’t make you unhappy, but it can relieve a lot of the misery inflicted by material conditions

This is what ‘money can’t buy happiness’ used to, and should be, about. Construing it to mean that the rest of us should feel content living paycheck to paycheck (or worse) is gross. It’s true that you can want for nothing and still be miserable, though.

Money doesn’t buy happiness but it sure gets rid of a lot of stress over bills.

That is one thing that I don’t get. There is so much quotes and ideas that are just manipulated out of spite to target the working class. It’s like the “elites” are really on the sidelines while we’re fighting our own people.
Even “carbon footprint” is a quote fabricated to put the wrong doings of the petroleum industry on us.

facts, getting a shitload of money does help put into perspective what’s important though…if your not a complete asshole.
as a former wagie, that feeling going from knowing exactly how little every day of your life is worth to never needing to do another day of work you don’t want is…incredible.
noone born into wealth can ever get that feeling
