Venting They say money can’t buy happiness

[LucifersIntrovert]

People say money can't buy happiness but genuinely that's the only thing I'd need to be happy in life. I'm currently getting my associates in criminal justice to become an attorney. I have a 3.5 GPA, looking for internships, and still depressed as hell. I have no will or desire to continue on because tuition is high, people want workers but won't hire workers unless you have background in working? It's dumb as hell, I love law and everything that surrounds it but in a profession that's going to take me years to complete my JD is hard for me to ignore. Money is the primary reason I always think of CTB I've always had this unreasonable fear of being homeless. Always saving my money, paying for others before myself when they need it. I don't know though how can money not buy happiness? I am 99.99% sure I will be infinitely more happy with money in my account compared to my current situation. With constant daily panic attacks, bad anxiety, Worrying about my parents and grandparents medical bills, tuition, etc… idk I just needed to get that out because I will die on a cross saying money will make you happier.

They say it can't buy happy news but I would love to test there theory cause I'm not convinced.

With that said I'm need a billion dollars to begin my testing. =)

As they say, I'd rather cry in Lamborghini.. but now for real, money can buy happiness. Money is what's keeping me away from happiness because lack of money is actually bringing me stress and depression.

You can have mental health problems even if you are rich...but money certainly would make my life easier. Less worry.

i think the same person who came up with the expression "sleepiong like a baby" as meaning "soundly" made up this expression. having a stable life, which requires money, having security, requires money, getting a degree that you can actually get jobs with, requires money, living in a decent, safe place requires money, getting any worthwhile medical attention requires money. they just mean if you're jeff bozos, buying a yacht won't necessarily make him fulfilled and happy, but to live any kind of life or do the things one needs to do to live a decent life all requires f-ing money, unless you're happy being homeless and having no prospects.

Money buys happiness up to a certain amount but above this amount, you won't become happier. There are studies about such stuff. I would estimate the amount of money that is needed per month at around 10k USD up to that amount you will feel more relieved and happier if you only have problems that are a result of a lack of money ofc. Money won't buy health, won't buy love, won't buy friends and many more things.

As a lawyer (and that is what you wanna be in the future) you have the best chances to earn a lot of money but you will have to put the effort into this goal.
