I’m all but certain the whole “money can’t buy happiness” shtick is just classist propaganda to keep the peasants poor by trying to build some kind of weird pride in staying poor.

Money can buy freedom, and while freedom doesn’t guarantee happiness, it’s a pretty fucking important ingredient.

It’s usually used in explaining a rich person is sad, rather than to say all poor people are always happy.
In my experience, it’s used to spitshine poverty.
True, that is common too 😅
