    Imagine having so much money you can buy love and happiness, but are so stupid you fail at both.

      You probably have to be one nasty motherfucker to continue after you have 1.000 Million dollars.

      More is just even more mentaly ill people IMO

        You have to love getting money more than any other thing.

        Or, at least you have to love the things you need to do to get money. What given the things those people do, is even worse.

      The thing is you can really only buy sycophants and pleasure, and the thing is that those aren’t love and happiness. Love and happiness are more easily found by finding equals

        To a shallow person, it may as well be the same.

        You can also buy yourself fewer hardships, less need, more choices. These may not directly be happiness but you’re removing obstacles to hapiness

          Ya, but that only works up to maybe a million or so.

      Money only buys happiness to up about like a 100k a year or so. I don’t know it might be even more now, but definitely not over 200k.

      It used to be roughly 70k USD and 50k EUR some 10 years ago when I read the study. That’s the point at which you’re financially secure enough to have your basics needs met and have enough over to climb towards self-actualization.

      On a post making fun of Musk you go and post a link to his website. Fuck X.com! No one should be sharing links to that site.
