The phrase 'money can't buy happiness' is actually super gaslighting because not having money to pay for basic things is a legitimate source of a tremendous amount of suffering and despair.
@austinkocher yeah, most of the people who say money doesn't buy happiness already have money. There is a law of diminishing returns. Once you can pay your bills, go on vacations, donate to charity, and save for retirement, any money above that won't make you happier. Not enough people are at that point, though.
