Whoever first said money can't buy happiness was an idiot. A wealthy idiot who never knew suffering and therefore took his riches for granted. Of course it can buy happiness. Want to know why? Because it buys everything. A house, a pet, jewelry, clothes, whatever surgery you may need - anything your heart may desire. With money, there are no limits.
Money buys happiness every day. And people like them wonder why people like me are so depressed. WE'RE BROKE!
People who say money can't buy happiness really piss me off. If they knew what trying to decide between rent and food was like, they would shut the hell up.

lol! I had this exact conversation the other day!
ReplyDeleteMoney can buy health, in a sense, and freedom - and the basics. And luxuries. Money can totally buy happiness.
Maybe the point of the saying was that there are no stores that specialize in selling happiness, because "happiness" is not just one thing, and there isn't an exact price, something like that?
I had this conversation with Mom earlier this month or next month or...something. I'm sure it was this year. It just didn't bother me before; but now...well, if I had the cash to get my teeth fixed or my eyes fixed or my feet fixed or my whatever-the-hell-else fixed; I'd be the happiest girl alive.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that is what it means, but apparently Happy Hour sells happiness. Bottles of it at a time. :D
Heh...I meant the month before, not the next month...
ReplyDeletelol, you may not need any "bottles of happiness" with English like that! (Kidding!) :D
DeleteI know what you mean. I don't need anything fixed, really, but it would sure be nice to fix things up a bit, and have enough money to not worry that the next time something stops working, it just won't ever start again, no matter how many tricks you know. (Had some truck trouble recently...)
I am having a tooth problem right now. It honestly feels like I'm growing in another wisdom tooth. Thankfully today we got Orajel; and thankfully, it's the kind that works.
DeleteYes, enough money would be wonderful...
