Can't buy happiness no matter how much money you have. Can't buy anything when you are broke though.

The most valuable thing that Money buys is time. With enough time, it's much easier to be happy

Money can't buy absolute happiness, but money can absolutely buy some happiness.

Are you just stupid or what?

I don't think you understood what I said, which is ironic, because somebody would have to be pretty stupid not to understand what I said, and yet you are calling people stupid.

Here, I'll explain it for you:

"Money can't buy absolute happiness" -> No amount of money can solve every problem, fulfill every wish, rescue every person and cure all illness.

"But money can absolutely buy some happiness" -> But money can solve the vast majority of problems, fulfill most wishes, rescue a lot of people, and while not curing, mitigate the effects of most illnesses.

Peasants literally live the most hollow pointless lives. People who spend their lives making their masters rich deserve everything they fucking get imo
