Money cannot buy happiness. What it can do is give you the means to remove barriers to happiness.
Love the title!!!
Money may or may not be able to buy happiness, but I’d be glad to test that theory :)
Updated version: more money only makes you happier to the point, where you don’t have to worry about affordability. After that, it get’s stressfull needing to have more and more.
No, i’m not talking from experience. There was a study done.
In my city, there’s a guy who owns a local gun store chain. (Or maybe owned—I dunno, he was old in the 90s, he’s probably not around anymore.) He’s locally infamous for his crazy white hair and his creepy chuckle on TV commercials where he says “I don’t wanna make any money, I just love to sell guns. Heh heh heh.”
Anyway, one day I was driving home and I saw him in the flesh. He was driving a pretty expensive convertible, with his distinctive white hair and a vanity plate with his name on it. I pulled up beside him at a stop light, and he looked like the saddest, most depressed person I’ve ever seen. Not in a personal tragedy way, just in a life sucks way.
It’s tough to feel sorry for him. He’s clearly quite rich, and he made that money selling death machines. But that look of being dead inside, on a face I only ever associated with that creepy chuckle, driving a luxury vehicle, has stuck with me.
There’s a lot of lead around guns and ammo and shooting. A lifetime of exposure…
Don’s been gone for over a decade at this point.
So apparently the way it works is that you either have no money at all, or a Ferrari for every day of the week, and there’s no possible in between?
What if I just have top of the range Mercedes money, will I be happy then?
“I’ve never seen anyone sad in a Ferrari. In fact, I’ve never seen anyone in a Ferrari, I’ve only seen the Ferrari as I pass by the dealership showroom.”
Lamborghinis, on the other hand… I once saw a farmer driving his Lambo tractor truck! And while I didn’t get a good look at his face, it was still awesome.
Even a John Deer costs 100k to 350k so farmers on their tractor are driving Ferrari and Lamborghinis.
Is the person with the helmet supposed the show any emotions?
Looks like it’s from formula 1, which is more of an emotional hothouse than your average high school.
“ill boohoo grande”
Probably hasn’t been in a lot if Ferraris then
The richer you are, the more you put on airs to seem like everything is okay. It’s the same way people will put “look at my amazing vacation” with happy amazing photos, and never mention that they all but got in a fistfight with their spouse.
This isn’t universal, but it’s what you’ll notice if you pay closer attention.
The top person is standing in front of a Lamborghini. Money apparently can’t buy education either.
stupid people are generally hapier
I thought we were here to talk about F1 😔
I feel confident that plenty of Ferraris have caused their owners a great deal of sadness, along with joy
Poor Charles
Unluckiest man on planet earth
