People claim that money does not make you happy. Wrong! Poverty does not make people happy. Money solves most problems and brings freedom. 💰🗽

Man creates most problems for himself. security is more important than money. health is more important than security. people can grow up with nothing somewhere on a mountain, in a forest or on the edge of a desert, and busy themselves building up securities: A weather-protected bleibe, food sources & water. so you can build something or live in the built and be happy. of course you are unhappy if then the only cow that brings you milk dies, you would be unhappy if you get a pay cut and can no longer afford milk in the supermarket. the perspective makes it and the living conditions in which you are stuck. so no, I agree with you nothing. for that, the statement is much too sweeping. ♥️🐅

No, money alone does not make you happy. Not even what you can buy with it. I think consumption is the unhappiness driver, because you always want more. Besides, there is always someone who has more. That makes you restless and you can't be happier with that. The whole subject is really difficult.

Money is the prime example of diminishing marginal utility. The less I have, the more difference 1€ makes. The more I have, the less difference 1€ makes. If I earn 1,500€ net and I get 200€ more, that's a huge difference If I earn 5,000€ net and I get 200€ more, that's nice to have At 10,000€, it almost doesn't matter As long as I can go on vacation, treat myself to certain things and don't have to turn over every euro twice, I'm happy. Would I be happier if I could fly business instead of economy? Honestly, I don't think so. At the latest, when it comes to deciding between business and first class, it shouldn't even matter anymore.

Money alone does not make you happy because health and family are just as important. However, money solves many problems and gives you more freedom and you can treat yourself and your family to something.

With money, you have the freedom to decide that you can live as if you had none. However, money does not make you free from worries. The worries are often of a different kind, but they can be just as burdensome as the worries that one has when the money is missing. Poverty and its consequences are enormously dependent on the region in which one lives. While in Germany there is a good social safety net, poverty in other areas can quickly become life-threatening. Poverty is often romanticized, because where there is nothing, there is no obligation. Thoreau once wrote: "But if the farmer owns the house in reality, he may not have become richer, but poorer. He does not own the house - the house owns him. The objection raised by Momus to the house built by Minerva was, in my opinion, perfectly valid. He said:' She didn't make the house movable and so you can't escape bad neighborhood.' The same reproach is justified even nowadays, for our houses are such clumsy possessions that we more often live in them as prisoners rather than dwell in them. The bad neighborhood, however, which we try to avoid, is our own base self."-Henry David Thoreau. Walden

Money isn't happiness. After a certain level brings nothing to the table happiness-wise. But money allows you to do things you like, enjoy, and bring you happiness. It gives you options. People buy useless shit thinking it will make them happy while holding onto a well-paid PAIN_IN_THE_ASS job just for the sake of maintaining this lifestyle. They could have saved enough and do stuff they actually wanted to do.
