Money won't save you or make you perfectly happy. To that I add...


… neither will your hobbies especially movies and music and computer games, glamour magazines, beautiful usually female celebrities, perfect houses with top wallpaper and well decorated ceilings and floors, computers, technology, cars etc.

It may bring something but never an ultimate ajour-oriented perfection, agree? Thanks.

Happiness is an abstract construct, so there's no direct path to achieving it, but money is a construct that takes on various concrete forms and can provide concrete distractions and solutions to almost every major and minor problem in existence, which then gives you a greater chance at reaching happiness. So I'd rather be miserable and rich than, you know, just miserable.

I’d rather be super rich and a bit anxious than perfectly
happy in a van down by the river.
