no but really the phrase “money doesn’t buy happiness” was meant as a “hey don’t make money be the sole purpose of your life go out there and find your passion” but this was also before minimum wage was a joke and everybody was anvil-ed with debt (wile e coyote style) and people had the luxury of pursuing the things they love instead of choosing to be greedy and seeking out cash
but now we’re all working two jobs to earn the income one should provide and checking our bank accounts like the countdown on a ticking bomb and meanwhile we haven’t bought a new shirt in six months, all of our meals consist of bread and cheese, and vacations and benefits have become a fable–just some urban legend that may have existed at some point but has since dissolved into fiction
for so many of us, money has become the hellfire center of our lives and it’s not that we’re seeking money to be greedy or that we think it’ll complete us. we’re just trying to survive in a society that has set us up to fail.
besides, even if money could buy happiness we wouldn’t be able to afford it.
