Just be honest with yourself... YOU ARE NOT DEPRESSED

[Jimmy from Linkedin]

All this.

And I if you are "broke" right now, you probably gonna be like "nikkah you ungrateful as fukk, if that was me...yada yada yada.", but once you hit a certain amount of income and security, you realize that life really ain't about money frfr.

Yes, it does give a access to good health care and take away the stress of providing food/shelter/clothing/transportation. But after your basic needs are met, the toys and trips do get boring eventually.

I was dead broke supporting my family ( 2 kids and my mom's at the time ) with plasma donations and working temp jobs and now we can pretty much do whatever we want. (My mom's passed once I got the $ tho #fukk cancer)

I was "happier" back then actually because:
a. I felt proud to do shyt people were ashamed to admit to doing because it proved to me that I really loved my family and could sacrifice my pride to make sure they were good. ( Side note I was never ashamed actually for the that reason itself )

b. I was studying DAILY for my "6 certs" and felt accomplished at the end of everyday witht he knowledge I was learning.

AFTER I reach my financial goals, life e got hella boring and now I really do have anything to strive for.

I take my kids to different states just for lunch and come back home.

Is it cool? Yeah.

Am I "happier"? No.

I make good money basically doing nothing all day but logging into a box and typing a few commands , so I kinda feel worthless and like a fraud now, because I'm not providing real value to the world, outside of the corporations I work for bottom line.

I honestly felt more proud of myself when I was a cook at Pizza hut...I was cold on that white board too lol.

Most of my friends and inner circle make the same income but alot of my old friends and family, who I love to death however don't, so it's hard to even tell them when I have life problems cause alot think since I'm good on the money, I shouldn't feel sad/depressed, and that I'm just complaining, which I understand because I was on that side before, but they don't get why I'm envious of them.

I sacrificed a good relationship to chase the bag, and she wasn't a materialistic person at all.

I envy them because, yeah they aren't taking in money, but they still have their girlfriends, wives, who love them for them and are there with them thru the struggle.

Ive fukked more women than I can count (before the money too) and that shyt empty as fukk.

Have pretty much unlimited access to things leaves you as a human really empty big you don't have TRUE WEALTH ( THE LOVE, RESPECT, AND COMPANY OF OTHER HUMANS)

That's what true wealth is to me at least.

Not trying to be offensive but do you have any hobbies?

Money is just another form of medication to help you manage depression depending on the person. Their is no real cure for it.

 

[I Really Mean It]

Money itself can't buy happiness, but it certainly makes it easier for you to find something that makes you happy.

Real talk

 

[Dameon Farrow]

Happiness is tied to keeping one's responsibilities in order. So buying a new pair of shoes might not do shyt but paying all of your bills and still being able to go out and get what you please afterwards does wonders for you. Anybody saying otherwise is lying.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

You hit the lottery tomorrow for 30 million:
- go on vacation wherever you want
- buy a dream house and a dream vacation house
- get your dream cars (plural)
- don't have to go to work anymore
- clear out your debt

^^^^ anybody not happy with that is a psychopath plain and simple.

now if you have problems like alcoholism or drug addictions and psychological disorders, that's another discussion altogether.

Gonna have to disagree.

You never being a millionaire and lived a millionaire lifestyle all you are doing is bringing up assumptions and scenarios

Money don't buy happiness, especially for ignorant people

 

[NegaDuck]

Not trying to be offensive but do you have any hobbies?

No offense taken at all.

Yeah, I volunteer, make music, travel..a lot, and have a side business.

But been doing it all so long its all kinda boring honestly.

I make new goals, but once you reach em, all that's left is to make new goals, which restarts the cycle.

 

[Just like bruddas]

Bullshyt. Muthfukkas never been depressed if they think money is the key to happiness.

There are different types of depression, those that are clinical and others that're due to the weight of stress and anxiety tied to any number of problems you encounter in life. A lot of people who're "depressed" are simply unhappy about their lives. They might be sad that they don't have anything in their bank account and are relegated to scraping by with a thankless job until they enter a grave, or they're someone who is still nursing the wounds of a breakup.

It can. But not everybody with money is happy.

So what about the chemical imbalance kind of depression?

 

[I Really Mean It]

So what about the chemical imbalance kind of depression?

Yes, that's the clinical type, and many people suffer from it. It's the kind that money won't alleviate, as we recently saw with Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. My argument is that a lot of people who claim to be depressed are mistaking it for stress related to problems in their lives.

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

yes it can. this is one of the dumbest cliche's in the history of mankind

Depends on why you’re depressed, if you’re depressed because of something stupid then money can probably fix it but some people be really fukked up

People can't live below their means. Thats the problem. From childhood, most people see these images of ballin rappers flashing money and think that they gotta be like that.
