Does $$$ give you happiness ? If so how ?


Recommended Posts

Dollars give you financial freedom, so you will be relieved from worries like expenses[ food , health, college tuition fee etc etc]. If you are stress free that is equal to happiness to an extent.

Happiness scale is 0-100. One has to define the metric.

Let's be honest. 99% of us here do what we do to make $$$. 

If we had those $$$ to begin with, we wouldn't be working for money but would have had money working for us

Passion ivanni mostly sollu kaburlu, you can be passionate about a hobby but can't make all those hobbies your profession as they don't make as much $$$. 

Yes there are a very few rare set of people who pursue their passion even if they don't make much money out of it, but among desis that number is miniscule. We aren't wired to pursue passions at the expense of not being able to make money.

Even in the West, the percentage of people who pursue passion and make a living out of it let's say a comfortable living out of it is very tiny, mostly like 5%

Agree, having good reserve of money or assets make us financially independent

As human beings we are destined to be constantly unhappy, this is the essence of Arthur Schopenhauer's teachings.

Happiness is a fleeting emotion, never permanent. 

Don't chase happiness, you will end up being constantly unhappy
