Everyone always says “Money can’t buy happiness.” Tell that to the homeless people sleeping under bridges and panhandling for change. Tell that to the roughly 38 million Americans who rely on food stamps in order to afford eggs and meat. Tell that to the college students working two minimum wage jobs while working for a rideshare and/or food delivery app, all while sharing a home with three roommates in order to get by.
Money can buy happiness. It pays for the food that fills your belly and the experiences that feed your soul. It pays for necessities and luxuries alike. It allows you to put gas in your car, miles on your odometer, and stamps on your passport. Money buys happiness every day for those who can afford to do so—and by paying taxes, money can also provide basic healthcare to those on Medicare and Medicaid, which in turn contributes to their happiness.
The misconception that money cannot buy happiness is overdone, overplayed, and overshadowed by the mountain of things money can buy, which in turn makes the individual happy. You know who wants those of us in the lower classes to buy into that ideal? Billionaires who can afford to solve the hunger and homeless crises in our country. Billionaires who spend more on real estate and yachts than the average person will earn in their entire lifetime twice over.
Money can buy happiness for the working class—billionaires are simply greedy sociopathic pigs who are only happy when they are hording wealth and causing harm. How many average Joes were listed in the Epstein files? I’ll wait.
Thanks for reading!
