Money can't buy happiness

This Dan Bilzerian guy is tragic. Fucking a new paid bimbo every night does not make happiness.

Money won't buy you happiness but the lack of money will bring you greater distress

Better to be rich snd suffering than to be poor and suffering

Kek.

>Looks for enlightenment from religious fanatics
pfft, i'd rather take a course in bio-chemistry

It takes having money to realise having money doesn't matter.

So in a sense, perhaps, it is impossible to be happy without money, but that is not the end all of the matter.

i think you mean false

>t. guy who doesn't get to fuck a bimbo every night

Let's examine the facts.

Bilz: trust fund babby
Bieb: self-made, earned his money

Bilz: basic looking escorts only have sex with him if he pays extra using money from the trust fund daddy set up for him
Bieb: hot women want sex with him backstage just because he is Bieber

Bilz: juices up, now has heart problems and will probably die earlier than his wealthy father
Bieb: ottermode, works out, all natural

Bilz: neurotic because he failed to achieve the strength of character of his father from whence all his wealth came
Bieb: actually going his own way, he simply woke up one day and decided to be awesome and superior to everyone else

Bilz: fans are multi-level marketing scheme "distributors", gamblers, walter mitties, people who read self-help books, balding 40 year old men going through a mid-life crisis, people who dream of getting rich with no effort like Bilzerian did
Bieb: fans are giggling popular fashionable 18 year old girls and young women with pert breasts

>Money can't buy happiness
Clearly true. Though money makes it easier, it is not the root of happiness. As Ayn Rand said, money is just a tool, it cannot replace you as the driver.

No, it takes having money to make you arrogant and think you have a charmed life, thus believing you'll be fine without money.

Oh look, /r9k/ found their way here

This

There's nothing wrong with having money but the pyramid of needs scales with your means. A poor person doesn't have the face the dilemma of nigh infinite distractions to keep them from self-actualization and meaningful human connections. There are endless stories of mega-wealthy heirs in China and Arabia suffering ennui because they've never had to truly WORK in their lives and fill the void with gold-plated champagne bottles, drugs, and shitting on the chests of expensive hookers.
The wealthy are additionally burdened by social responsibility with their ability to shape world events and uplift other people out of destitution, while realizing after a certain threshhold - 300k a year in America, I think, they cease to be "rich" and become a small fish in the big pond of the "super-rich", and so on and so on ad infinitum until you're a Rothschild of a Vanderbilt at the neck of your competing Bilderberg member every quarter. Nasty desu.

Cogent points all around, good post.

I would rather cry behind the wheels of a Mercedes than a Skoda as a guy I knew once said

Money makes life much easier, it's hard to get up when you are broken and poor compared to when you are broken and affluent. Money pays for many things that can make problems go away, compared to no money which means you have problems on top of problems.

Blatantly false simply based on that picture alone.

Here's the deal.

Happiness is the natural reaction to something going good for you. Something goes good for you, you're happy.

If you have sufficient funds, you can cause things to go good for you, and you can be happy when they do.

And happiness, like every other drug, is habit forming. And every habit forming drug takes more and more stimulus to produce the same result.

So eventually you are tapped out trying not to make yourself happy, but to drag yourself out of the pit of misery you have bought for yourself.

If you want to be happy, without the awful side effects, use your money to make good things happen for other people, anonymously.

And then you'll know Joy, and Joy is far greater than happiness.

What's wrong with driving a Skoda? I never understood why people like Mercedes so much.

nah, I think he's a /pol/tard. Robots don't have any interests whatsoever so there's no reason why he's here unless by accident; they only use the porn boards, /b/ and of course /r9k/.

Do you think a Mercedes will comfort you when you lose a loved one

They werepretty shitty when they entered European markets afterr the collapse of the USSR.

and mercers are cars for the wealthy

bio-chemistry courses fucking suck
>hurr here memorize these 16000 metabolites and their pathways ok done you completed the course

I'm actually a polymath from Veeky Forums.

I recommend reading pic related, the philosophical red pill on gender. Although written in 1903, it eternally captures the essence of the female nature.

More than if you have to worry about making rent since your deceased SO paid half of the bills

Any car will do. I just need to make sure I can reach a speed at which I won't survive crashing into a tree.

Skoda is part of VW now. I see many people driving Skoda in my neighborhood. Even my uncle does. I don't think they're that bad. And Mercedes isn't really for the wealthy. It's rather for the poor who want to pretend being wealthy. Any Turkish kebab cook drives a Mercedes. If you're actually wealthy, you'll have a Bugatti or Lambo.

Money does not buy happiness, however without a certain amount of money one will surely be unhappy.

Depends if you live in a dry county or not.

Everyone with more depth of thought about life than a chimpanzee knows that it doesn't.

Epicurus, the hedonist would say:

>'If you wish to make Pythocles rich, do not add to his store of money, but subtract from his desires.'

Bieb: Product of marketing

His entire allure is a fabrication of marketing that specifically targets the simple. It's a exploitation of the simple.

Put something shiny in front of them and watch the simple category of the masses get drowned in fascination and fanaticism.

It's kind of a strange dynamic of human behavior, probably disgusting to some. But its a practice that's been utilized since the beginning of time.

I'd say false. Money can give you security and contentment but I think true happiness doesn't exist; it's just something to strive for.

>Epicurus, the hedonist

u fockin wot

Kebabs drive 15 year old mercedeses

And a new Mercedes is still comfier and much more xpensive than a Skoda

Regardless, my point was that wealth makes your life easier and more comfortable.

Enduring hardship is easier when you don't have to worry about financial problems

no and it cant buy height either

Whoever said money cant buy happieness was a couple dollars too short.

I want his money ro have a comfy life without work, but I don't want all the whores. It really baffles me. I don't enjoy woman company at all if I don't love her desu

but you also can't deny that bieber worked for it.
performing live and making albums requires effort, even if its helped along by music industry execs.

I want his money to build houses and develop video games

you'd have to be dull to not find something to "work" with when you're that rich

What this expression means is that merely being wealthy cannot guarantee happiness. Which is completely true and completely obvious if you think about it for more than two seconds, but it still needs to be said because many people implicitly live their lives as if it were otherwise.

That said, of course it is possible to find happiness in things that have a price tag.

In which case, you'd still need money

It buys a Waverunner

Money makes it EASIER to be happy by removing some common impediments to happiness and opening up a broader range of possible experiences.

True. You buy things, not happiness.

this. money buys happiness but only up to a point.

>If you're a real man on the other hand and strive for higher values, those you won't be able to buy.
Maybe not directly buy them, but having lots of money is generally a necessary pre-condition for achieving any sort of higher value.

Do you think Julius Evola could have spent his life studying ancient history and the occult if he hadn't been a Baron with an inherited fortune large enough to support him for life?
