Does money buy happiness?
What do you think?
What do you think?
Agree ^ short term happiness no doubt. Longterm, money is nothing.
Yes it does but to a certain extent. Nothing in this world can make you 100% happy on its own. In my opinion money is of the things that brings the most happiness, especially if you know what to buy!
Money buys things that can make you happy
No. Howard Hughes was the richest man in the world for awhile and his OCD still tortured him. I’ve heard of people winning a big lottery and being very unhappy because everyone wanted money from them. I’ve turned down opportunities to make more money because I enjoyed what I was doing. I have not regretted that. The one time I made a job choice just because it was the better financial track I had a work place injury that lead to my OCD becoming full blown instead of subclinical and had to change jobs. Money gives you options but not happiness.
it can pay a good ocd specialist tho
@kaio16 True. So true. But we shouldn’t have to have money to get good care.
@Erin P ikr, i cant afford one so i'll have to do self erp till i can pay one
@kaio16 Check out Reid Wilson’s anxieties site- lots of free ERP stuff.
@Erin P srly???? i defintly will
@kaio16 I have watched his The Noise in Your Head YouTubes and found them very helpful for understanding and fighting OCD so I’m sure his site is great - I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet. I also find Shala Nicely’s OCD blogs useful.
Yes.
Studies have suggested money buys happiness only to the point of comfortable means. If someone is hungry, cold, in need of medical care, money can help fulfill needs, which in turn bring markedly more happiness to the person/people. However, beyond that point, there is no correlation between money and happiness.
