  Money doesn’t make you happy, but it sure as hell gets rid of the stuff that makes you sad.

    So if I had money, I could make all the bigots that harass my friends and I for being queer disappear?

  Money cannot buy happiness. What it can do is give you the means to remove barriers to happiness.

  You almost never see anyone happy in a Ferrari either. Look inside one and you’ll see someone with the same blank expression that you see on everyone driving and anyone on the bus. Despite what car commercials drill into your head no car will change that meh feeling.

    To an extent, yes. But that’s because you can’t use the car for its intended purpose at a stoplight or grid of roads. I guarantee you when that driver takes his car to the curvy mountain roads he is grinning ear to ear, or having a hell of a time at the very least.

      Initially yes, and they were probably grinning ear to ear when they first bought it, just like we were all grinning ear to ear when we first drove by ourselves, but once the novelty and excitement wear off it goes back to the meh face.

      It’s like skiing/snowboarding, the first couple times you go down a run your having a great time, but once it doesn’t become a challenge then it loses its excitement and fun. With skiing though theres a lot more elements of variation (trees, bumps, jumps, narrow trails, grade variations, snow conditions …) to keep things interesting whereas driving roads can only vary with curves and grades, both of which are in a much narrower band of variation for safety reasons.

      There’s a reason tons of people spend tons of money every year going skiing but not too many people are renting super cars to go and drive around the hills.

      I was deeply confused to see a bunch of Ferraris outside of some huge institution in the middle of Providence, Rhode Island. Take a high performance vehicle and put it in the most tightly packed, narrow, curvy-street urban area in America with the possible exception of Boston. Why don’t you go ahead and take a snowmobile to Hawaii, while you’re at it.

  The top person is standing in front of a Lamborghini. Money apparently can’t buy education either.

  Money can buy you a lack of poverty which eliminates a main but not the only barrier to happiness.

  Money may or may not be able to buy happiness, but I’d be glad to test that theory :)

• jqubed@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I feel confident that plenty of Ferraris have caused their owners a great deal of sadness, along with joy

  The only thing money buys you is the burning desire for a lot more money.

  Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can help. Funny line, but it's also true that much of people's stress that filters into relationships and health is money related.

    Exactly. Money buys breathing space, and that’s essential for actually building things to be happy about in one’s life

  Updated version: more money only makes you happier to the point where you don’t have to worry about affordability. After that it get’s stressfull needing to have more and more.

  Money cannot directly buy happiness, though it can indirectly buy happiness. Objects, medicine, therapy, experiences can all be bought. All of them can lead to a happy life.
