    Congratulations, you’ve utterly and completely missed the point about how money creates ample room for happiness. Whereas not having money creates stress and awful situations.

    Again, congratulations on completely and utterly missing the point.

      AFAIK you’re kinda wrong about that. Research suggests that money improves happiness only to a certain point. Once you got the basic meets met it doesn’t really matter anymore.

      People in poorer countries often live happier lives compared to those in rich ones.

        “… to a certain point”

        Yes thank you for agreeing that money DOES improve happiness.

      Yeah because I’m living a completely lux life. 🙄 I’m angry but not bitter or depressed anymore.

      Eta: in fact, despite my personal challenges, I’m pretty mentally healthy and decently happy, most of the time. I have my moments but they’re not consuming me. I quit playing the victim card and started playing the victim victory hand.
