People say money cannot buy happiness.

Do you think a lack of money can cause unhappiness?

It probably depends on how much "lack of money". Also it probably depends on your overall relationship with money.

For example I was raised kind of poor. I've always been driven to not let that be my future. However I was raised in a house full of love. So as much as I was driven to make monet I've never considered it anything more than a tool. I never wanted to be the next Warren Buffet. I just wanted to always be financially secure. I guess what I'm driving at is I have enough now that I should never have to work ever again. But along with that comes the constant responsibility of always staying ahead of inflation. So managing has become a sort of a job. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm just saying some of my happiest times was when I was broke and carefree.

But this is MY feelings on it. I realize other people may be different.

another common quote I've never agreed with.. while true it doesn't outright guarantee happiness, it certainly helps enable it

People who say that usually are the ones with a lot of money.

But I've never heard a struggling person say that.

Money can definitely buy you happiness if you know what to do with it to make your life better.

The only people who can’t buy happiness are billionaires and millionaires, everyone else can absolutely buy happiness with their money if they’d stop fucking hoarding it

Of course, not having enough money can undeniably lead to misery and stress.

[itsannalee]

Yes if course
Imagine someone you love hungry and you don’t even have money to buy them food.

[itsannalee]

Yes of course, typo

Wife and I do ok but I find myself unhappy sometimes. Depends on my mood or what I think about I guess.

[Staximus]

It can when you can't pay your rent and get kicked out of your house

[Danny_dan92]

Ask homeless people if they’re happy

[Avicenna]

It can...

[jahaims]

Duh.
