That's true
But still...
Have the money just in case
Because that brother called poverty can't buy happiness either

Happiness varies. One reality is different from the other reality.

Money will give you 80% happiness.

The remaining 20% have nothing to do with money. Solomon the wealthiest person in the bible already said that before.

He was depressed and frustrated and married many wife and concubines yet he was not still 100% happy.

Elon Musk/X
Yinmu.


Poverty cannot buy happiness too.

In fact, I have discovered that there's nothing that money cannot buy that poverty can buy. So what's the point in deceiving people about what wealth can't do when poverty can't do either.

Like it is said in local parlance, Beta pikin sef, na money kee am.

That's true. Only if you contend yourself. Otherwise you will become the owner of the world and still not be happy.
Re: "Money Can’t Buy Happiness” - Elon Musk's Post Generates Reactions by Blunt99: 11:54am On Feb 05
Will say the same when I get money.


For now - money is the only happiness I need.


Next!

The problem with Money is in the endless pursuit of it.
Most never get satisfied.
The more you have the more you wnat to have more.

This is where the saying that not all things money can do comes in.
Somethings are priceless
Re: "Money Can’t Buy Happiness” - Elon Musk's Post Generates Reactions by GanagiBitrus:
What he should have said is:
"Money ALONE can't buy Happiness"

Money remains a major ingredient for happiness in life.
How can you be happy in life if you struggle to afford basic necessities of life.

If wealth can't buy happiness, poverty can't either.
But I promise you, it's better to have wealth than to live in perpetual penury.
How do you even wake up and have no hope of survival, no funds to pay your house rent or do other things?
Re: "Money Can’t Buy Happiness” - Elon Musk's Post Generates Reactions by Haydens: 11:56am On Feb 05
True to that word but 70-80% of happiness is money linked. If you have money your rate of doing evil is decreased and vice versa and if you don't have money your rate of doing evil is decreased and maybe vice versa too.

Back to the topic: I will make money and happiness will be guaranteed for me because everyone needs money to be happy.
Re: "Money Can’t Buy Happiness” - Elon Musk's Post Generates Reactions by yesloaded: 11:57am On Feb 05
To be honest, money can never buy happiness but that doesn't mean you should not make money

Money is good

Poverty will never give you happiness either
Re: "Money Can’t Buy Happiness” - Elon Musk's Post Generates Reactions by Lanre1st(m): 11:58am On Feb 05
Poverty don't guarantee happiness as well

By the very virtue of who he is, he can't be poor. Even if he donated all he has. Let me explain, even if he quits tech and starts playing ludo, because of who he is, he'll shortly innovate something about that simple game and it blows.

By default he will have again. Except he kills the passion for living.

The wealth is in the kind of person he is, and his thoughts pattern.

But make sure you already have the money, before making such statements.
Thanks

Money does not buy happiness. You can have money and still be empty. True happiness comes from God.
