To me, for now, money does buy happiness, and not having money has been causing me nothing but suffering.
Same. Just remember when you have money most people wanting to be your friends or lovers aren’t doing it for your personality. Only count those who have been with you since before you made it.

for myself this means I’ll live a pretty superficial lifestyle only using women for sex not love. But it is what it is.

The only people who have the right to say money can't buy happiness are people who already had enough money to be able to say something like that.

But if you're just another wage slave who lives pay-check to pay-check, better shut your mouth up because you don't have the right to say anything about what you don't, and can't, have.

True. Fun fact: the porn star Jenni Lee decided to quit everything and become a homeless person in Las Vegas. But that’s not for me :p

You have to surround yourself with other successful people as you climb. Doesn't mean you have to completely ditch old friends but there is a relevant quote that you are sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with. I had to branch out of my old friend groups as I became more successful, I was able to do that through some entrepreneur groups that had qualifiers to join.

One profound thing I learned during my broke-as-fvck days:

When you are poor, you are also ALWAYS at other people's mercy, whether you like it or not, whether you want it or not, and whether you accept it or not.

And nobody, I repeat, nobody can respect someone who is at their mercy.


So yeah, money does bring happiness, every time.

My advice is have something you excel or are very interested in then find a group or organization to join. If you are red pilled it can make it a little harder to find that group. Don't be afraid to to pay to join an organization, can weed out some of the riff raff.

It's sick tbh. MY family always been poor and now it's a group masturbatkion exercise to keep themselves feeling good and even noble about their despicable poverty. Been trying to get rich my whole life. Most of my family doesn't talk to me. I'd rather be rich than have my family to be very honest.

Yeah, it's kind of disgusting seeing people applaud each other for being some one elses wage slave and content with poverty or mediocrity. I made up my mind 7 years ago that i was going take some huge risks with my savings up to that point and either be financially free or homeless by the age of 40.

Am finally hitting my targets this year. Took some huge risks along the way and almost went broke a few times but never gave up and never listened to other people's opinion about it.

It goes back to that saying better off as 10 years as a lion than 100 as a sheep.

I feel that. I haven’t been so lucky but I’m still working on it.

It's like a guy who creates a drug... And become addicted to that same drug he created. The fact is that without this drug you are completely miserable and there is no way to handle the withdrawals. So the only way to feel that happiness or surviving is earning money.

In this culture we live today, thats really the only way to have some happiness... Cause without it we become miserables.

It's funny how something created by our race can make us so miserable without it.

I can't say its bad or good because anything we do have both sides and we don't know how World and society would be without it. But its a very good point to think about.

Be very, very careful of coming into money all at once. The gradual climb is what you want.

What kind of mind set is that? It doesn’t matter as long as you have a good plan for what to do with it. Use money to make more money, not to buy things or sex.

A prudent one. I agree a good plan is important. I'd also say try to be slow with any lifestyle changes once you're successful.

This is a very good point. We came from tribes. Tribal societies do not use money. They are dependent on each other for survival. Studies show that tribal societies work less and are happier than modern societies. This shows that money is not a pre requisite for happiness when you live in nature. The natural world provides for your basic needs.

Money is a requirement for happiness when you live in a modern world. The modern world is very artificial and is the cause of most of man's unhappiness. The rates of depression, suicide and loneliness sky rocket in affluent modern societies. Toxic viruses like feminism can only flourish in modern societies.

So yes, money buys a level of happiness in modern societies. But modern societies are overall not very happy places when compared to more tribal/ rural societies.

Read the book Tribe by Sebastian Unger. Good stuff.

True, but ironically enough if you remove tribalism from modern society it would become a bit more bearable...

I'm currently staying in The Philippines right now. A lot of people here don't have much but there's a sense of community out here compared to the states that I've noticed, it's not unusual for people here to start a conversation with their neighbors in the morning just to say hello. I would say having a sense of community, friends to talk to and having a higher power like God in your life are vital to happiness, advice from a loner such as myself.

I have discovered one thing. Money makes me happy.

It's not the only thing in life, but being poor never did me any good.
No, money doesn't make you happy.

Money gives you the ability to have more choices available to make and if you make the right choices that is what brings happiness.

Plenty of rich people make the wrong choices in life and they are some of the most miserable people you will ever want to meet.
