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!

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.

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.

@kaio16 True. So true. But we shouldn’t have to have money to get good care.

@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.

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

Financial OCD?
Does anybody else suffer from OCD due to finances? I always can’t help but feel if I buy a certain item it’ll be my downfall or spiraling of bad habits that’ll leave me broke. Even if it comes to wanting to plan a vacation I always feel like I can’t I need to save that money because something will happen. I’m unsure if I’m conflating these feelings with just life
