It's a balance, working so hard that you can't even enjoy the shyt isn't going to make you happy, but poverty is a sunovabytch

It's a similar situation to the European lifestyle thread.

Money won't make you happy... Well it will intial

Not having any money will make you miserable... Unless you have never had money

Truth be told, some of the best times I've had in my life were when I was broke.

If you have ever had money, lost it, and got it back again. You realize that you don't need nearly as much stuff/money as you think you do.

At the end of the day, if all my bills are paid and I can afford a blunt and a pint of hennessey I'm good :obama:


I always say this....real talk

In economics there is a concept called marginal utility, which means that an item loses value to the individual as it increases in volume and number. (buying your 7th car, would bring far less satisfaction than your first car).

That can be spread towards the concept of money in general. Of course when you first accumulate some bread, those first few purchases are meaningful, but after awhile money starts to lose its relevancy to your happiness because there are only so many things to buy. You become used to having money and resources; its every day ish now.

Its at this point money depreciates rapidly in value, and actually becomes that mo money mo problems ish Biggie warned us about --- you start attracting girls that are only interested in your wealth and will be on the first thing smokin when they find someone with more, you start losing and gaining friends and fam based on fiances, you lose an appreciation for the smaller things, you're obsessed with financial maintenance than growth, etc --- and for what? Losing spirit and happiness just to collect meaningless crap like IPads, and rims that doesnt mean sht in the grand scheme of life?

Nobody is saying luxury is a bad thing, or living comfortable is wrong --- but this overvaluing of money has been the number 1 culprit behind so many tragedies, heart ache, crime, and depression.

yall think its moreso the stress of maintaining/earning money

or having money in general?

What ever issues you have now, youll have when you have money and some. Cuz now you'll be rich with the same problems you had when you were broke. And now your relationships are all fake ass fukk, you wont know who to trust so on and so on

People aren't satisfied, they want more, and with more money comes added responsibilities. Generally speaking, people who aren't filthy rich live above their means which puts added pressure on their lives.

:beli: Did You Not See Where I Put "Outside Of Extreme Circumstance"?

What exactly is so extreme, he offed himself despite being a millionaire and having no outward signs of trouble.

There's research data that shows countries with more wealth have more depressed people, they must not be purchasing enough happiness.

He's the only person that knows what goes on in his life. You cant look in from the outside and make conclusions about a person's life. But i guess you're the type of person to just make assumptions and jump to conclusions. :mjpls:

You were happy off the feeling of getting up. But when that dies down, youll realize that money wont keep you happy. Theres a bunch of rich mothafukkas on antidepressants :comeon:
Yea but Im happy to be well off, bc there's a lot of poor mothafukkas who can't afford anti depressants:manny:

Like I said I've been poor, I'll take money and all that comes along with it.

But, he was a millionaire, your whole point was that money can "ALWAYS" buy happiness. If he had more money than you could ever dream of having, yet had enough problems to kill himself, maybe then your idiotic claim doesn't hold weight.
