Imagine having so much money you can buy love and happiness, but are so stupid you fail at both.
The thing is you can really only buy sycophants and pleasure, and the thing is that those aren’t love and happiness. Love and happiness are more easily found by finding equals
You can also buy yourself fewer hardships, less need, more choices. These may not directly be happiness but you’re removing obstacles to hapiness
You probably have to be one nasty motherfucker to continue after you have 1.000 Million dollars.
More is just even more mentaly ill people IMO
Eh, I think a million maybe 2 is still in the limits of life savings for a normal person to warrant comfy retirement
I think the parent commenter uses the decimal separator and means a billion dollars.
Money only buys happiness to up about like a 100k a year or so. I don’t know it might be even more now, but definitely not over 200k.
It used to be roughly 70k USD and 50k EUR some 10 years ago when I read the study. That’s the point at which you’re financially secure enough to have your basics needs met and have enough over to climb towards self-actualization.
