Everyone here is just saying money buys happiness with more words than needed lol.

    Money deals with one problem but life is full of many problems that money cannot solve.

    Family, health, relationships, turmoil, stress, loneliness, time, death etc.

    You don't want to be the richest guy in the cemetery.

    The richest guy in the cemetery probably lived a pretty good life.

    He could host his friends, people wanted to spend time with him if he wasn't particularly foul.

    He could afford better food, better schools, and better medicine. So he was better nourished, better educated, and better taken care of.

    He could pursue his interests and support things he cared about, so he felt actualized.

    Of course rich people die of cancer or suicide just like the poors. But they do it less and it's more of a tragedy when they do.

    But was he really happy. Were his friends his friends or were they money friends.

    Was he fat with over indulgence. Was he ugly that even plastic surgery couldn't solve. Was he worried that someone would take his money.

    Society teaches us that worldly gains are the absolute be all and end all of life.

    Money doesn't solve life. It helps. But only to a certain extent.
