5 Lessons That Seem Good (but aren’t)

[@Murkus]

when 96% of issues in my life come as a consequence of not having enough money, "money won't buy you happiness" has always made my eyes roll. Such a privileged thing to even say I feel.

[@R0D3R1CKV10L3NC3]

The idea of "money can't buy you happiness" is almost always said by people with more money than they - or the next several generations of their family - will ever be able to spend (and the people that idolize them), to people without money trying to get enough money to live comfortably. That said, it is also _technically_ correct that - once you have enough money to comfortably live - increasing the amount of money you have, has been shown not to increase happiness in equal measure, until eventually completely offering no positive increase in happiness. It's just that the people who give that "advice" often completely ignore the part about "once you have enough money to comfortably live". Money absolutely increases happiness significantly until that point. It's only after that, that money starts to drop off as no longer being as much of a major factor in determining happiness. It also, obviously, differs from person to person, as someone with "richer" tastes may be able to gain more happiness from money at a higher level than someone with more modest tastes. It's just not a one-size-fits-all statement, and certainly not one that should be taken seriously from the majority of the people who espouse it.

[@RyansAnecdotes]

I really liked the conclusion that Casey Niestat came to in a video about his experience going from poor to rich. Money does solve most of your problems. However, issues like love and finding meaning, and fulfillment in life can't be solved with money. But if you're poor, problems like those become secondary to things like paying rent.

[@Deifiable]

I think it relies more on the fact that happiness isn't really something that's gained by solving your problems. People have this idea with many things, not just money, although that's a common one. A lot of people who struggle monetarily have the impression that if only they had enough money, they wouldn't have any more problems. They would be happy. Then there are people who have already gone down that road, and have discovered that even after getting a ton of money they still have the same amount of problems, just different ones. It's human nature. The Hedonic Treadmill. We like to think "if only _____ would happen, then I could be happy!", but it never does work out like that. Once you have that thing you swore you always wanted, the only thing you tend to do is have the same exact level of desire, but have new specifics fill that void. And those new desires feel just as crucial and imperative and stressful to you as your lack of money did back when you had that problem. And that's generally true. I've never met ANYONE who got something that they really wanted in life and then a year (nevermind decades) later, after being asked how they were doing, simply said "Oh me? I got that thing I really wanted a year ago. Life is just perfect now! I haven't had any concerns since. Just happiness!" Y'know, that just doesn't seem to be how we humans operate. I think that's the most fair interpretation of "money won't buy you happiness."

[@TheGreektrojan]

I'm blessed in that, while not rich, I'm past the line where extra money isn't adding much to the equation (house/car owned free and clear, good passive income etc...). As briefly mentioned in the video, the false idea is that once you reach financial independence that you will enter a permanent bliss, zero stress, utopia of existence completely foreign to people who have more limited means. Humans simply aren't wired to feel content with 'enough.' That said, with proper perspective, introspection, philosophy/spirituality, rationality, the lack of financial stress and ability to buy things with meaningful QoL improvements without much consternation definitely lead to a calmer/better/smoother life. Its dodging the trap of upgrading the econo-car to a luxury vehicle, kids having to go to private school, upgrading from a 'starter' home, 'empire building' with investments etc... where wealth turns into the infamous 'gilded cage.'

[@ProfoundFamiliarity]

I think it's like "all lives matter". There may be some truth to be found in the phrase but when it's said by a privileged person in response to the concerns of an underprivileged person, it can be experienced as dismissive and unhelpful

[@melimsah]

"Just be myself? The person who got me into this mess?!"

[@IanPattisonOakville]

I like to say, "money doesn't buy happiness, but it goes a long way to eliminating misery".

[@R0D3R1CKV10L3NC3]

That's pretty much the scientific conclusion as well. It "buys happiness" up to a point, with that point being when you have enough money to actually live comfortably, before the increase in money begins showing diminishing returns in providing further happiness. Basically, once a lack of money no longer can be a source of actual misery for a person, increasing money doesn't actually increase happiness at nearly as high of a rate, until it eventually makes essentially no difference on their happiness. And it's generally the people who have reached _that_ point who espouse the idea that "money can't buy you happiness", which is then proliferated by the people who idolize them. For them, it's true, more money won't/doesn't make them any happier (or even stop them from being miserable, which is likely something they've done to themselves, often in their pursuit of money in the first place), so they truly believe that the same would be true for anyone else, because they are so detached from reality.

[@lynettejwhite]

@@R0D3R1CKV10L3NC3 And we also often make ourselves miserable by working long hours and staying in jobs we hate for the purposes of chasing money. For those of us in the middle of the road, it's in these situations I hear that phrase quoted the most.

I'm glad that somebody finally said it. I was always baffled hearing "just be yourself" because I always parsed it as "do what you would do in this situation", which is literally meaningless! And nobody seemed to understand my frustration. 'Do what makes you happy' is similar. I have no idea what, if anything, will make me happy. I've tried lots of things and they often leave me really unfulfilled.

I read somewhere that in Canada about $70K annually is the point where money is no longer a factor in your happiness. That number may be out of date with rising housing costs in some markets. In the US, you'd need to factor in health costs I guess, so likely more for peace of mind

[@colleenmarin8907]

I assume that amount is for outside major cities, but would have to be higher in locations where the cost of housing is high

[@eos_aurora]

Not a Canada thing, it was $72K in the US. The number from that particular study is outdated, however, the current number is like $100k

[@gedfi]

The "live every day like it was your last" is a lousy variant of the stoic "Memento Mori" - which is great advice as long as you grok the underlying idea. It really means "feel useful every day" and "appreciate what you have and show love to those you love every day". Because you might be gone tomorrow. Or already tonight. You might not see them in the morning.

[@soundscape26]

Memento Mori and Carpe Diem... yes, that's basically it but with a more palatable English title

[@catriona_drummond]

"memento mori!" was actually a phrase that was whispered in to Roman generals or Emperor's ears when they were granted a triumph., a massive parade through Rome, showing off their troops, their loot and their prisoners. It was to remind them that despite the massive ego-trip they were currently on, they were still human and going to die. It's a bit sad that today's Rockstars, Social media stars, billionaires and dictators don't have access to that whisper-service.

[@Daymickey]

Money can’t promise life satisfaction, and chasing it often produces dissatisfaction, but having enough to not be in survival mode will almost certainly increase your happiness. It’s just that you still need family/friends, community, purpose, fun, meaningful work, etc at every income level. When people sacrifice these things or make them secondary to money, it almost always results in unhappiness.

[@sarahkalnajs5810]

I see 'do what makes you happy' as encouraging someone to follow their heart rather than doing what they feel obligated to do

[@micah_noel]

My reaction to “be yourself” has always been “do I have a choice?”. I moved halfway across the country to try to re-invent myself and get more chances to make a first impression and make new friends. But I quickly found out that I was the same person in a different place. So I found that advice to be extremely unhelpful. Seven years later I’m not sure that being me is all that great for my goals. Women don’t dig me and I don’t have the confidence to pursue a better career than flipping burgers. If I don’t figure out how to be a different person pretty soon, I might not last much longer.

[@DAMfoxygrampa]

What is stopping you from improving your situation?

[@micah_noel]

@DAMfoxygrampa Mostly money, but also my habits. I don’t want to write a whole novel here, but the short answer is that I get rejected a lot for being a line cook in my 40s who doesn’t have nights and weekends off. That could just be an excuse on their part but I’m convinced I could get more dates if I had a conventional schedule. My eclectic interests and dedication to living in my van and not paying rent is a whole other can of worms. And don’t try to tell me I have to love myself and be happy alone. The whole point of life is to be in love and soak up the beauty so I can put it back out into the world. Much like the moon, I shine when I’m shined upon. Otherwise I’m a cold stone floating through space.

[@lynettejwhite]

@@micah_noel You sounds like a unique person, that is also looking for a unique kind of woman as a partner. Not mainstream. For me that quote about 'being yourself' has only seemed to apply to mainstream people. Stray too far from 'normal' and being yourself is not appreciated outside of our niche.

I have experience moments where mantras actually help me perform better. For example, when I draw, I tell myself that I am here to finish the job, and it improves my ability to draw tremendously by getting me to enter into a flow state where I recognize everything that's right or wrong. However, mantras only work for their specific purpose. They cannot be used as a general motivator for everything in life, because what they are is a way to tune your brain for a specific activity.

For crying out loud, he talks about how what a shame it is that college kids who are surveyed these days are going to college to get a good job instead of just to broaden their horizons like in the old days. Who the heck has the money to go to college just to broaden their horizons? You do not go into years of debt just to learn for the sake of learning - that's what libraries are for!

Just be yourself is actually good advice... in the right context. If you're having trouble making friends trying to change who you are in order to fit in with what's popular isn't going to help. I know I tried, I got called a poser and still didn't have any friends. So finding people who genuinly want to be your friend because of who you are tends to be a lot less stressful than trying to maintain a lie in order to fit in. The worst advice I often hear is "Just talk to her." If I could do that I wouldn't need the advice in the first place.

[@thescowlingschnauzer]

On hard work, I distinguish between toil, labor, and work. Toil is when you are doing a lot of work but it's not working, that is, you are exerting a lot of effort without achieving desired outcomes. Then there is labor, in which you exert a lot of effort, but you receive a proportional outcome. The outcome may be belabored but it's an outcome nonetheless. Then there is work, in which the desired outcome is achieved for a negligible amount of effort. If you don't measure the return on your effort, all your "work" is bound to be toil, or labor at best.

[@curtiskupferschmid6102]

I think "be yourself" is good advice (at heart). A lot of our problems stem from our inability to accept ourselves, both the admirable and less admirable parts of ourselves. When we're continually berating ourselves for not being outgoing enough, not working hard enough, not being kind enough, etc., we're not fully understanding what is within ourselves that's preventing us from being the way we think we "should" be. Carl Roger's talks extensively about this, especially in his book Client-Centered Therapy, where he describes how when a client "has come to accept the fact that 'I am what I am,' then she can be spontaneous and lose her self-consciousness" (515). In other words, only by "being ourselves," meaning accepting of our direct experience, can we achieve a genuine sense of what we want to do. I realize by typing all this I'm actually just proving the point that advice like "be yourself" is oversimplifying something much more complex. I wanted to write this though because I think a lot of us spend much of our time rejecting ourselves, thinking that by rejecting ourselves-particularly the "bad" parts of ourselves-we will somehow become better people. When what we really must do is accept who we are and investigate the anxieties and fears that give rise to behavior we find unpleasant. Some great books on these ideas: A Way of Being by Carl Rogers, Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach, and Nothing Special by Charlotte Joko Beck.

I always have thought about this as a pyramid of needs, at the bottom you have food + water, above that shelter, and above those are love + belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization (maslow’s hierarchy btw). And in order to live, you need to fulfill those parts in the pyramid. Which goes to the saying, “money buys happiness” because you need money to buy food, to have shelter, and (maybe, but most likely not) to buy love and belonging. However, this statement falters after those needs, because buying love, self-esteem and self-actualization is faulty and will lead to a sense of dread and lostness. Because you can’t buy those things (you can try via followers, likes, etc. but those won’t satisfy you; look at billionaires), and that’s when the saying “money doesn’t buy happiness” comes into virtue. At that point in someone’s life, money is no longer a necessity, it’s an afterthought. Rather, to find “happiness” or whatever you want to call it you have to look internally. Money ain’t internal guys.

[@THEDRAWINGSTUDIO1]

I feel like if you're obsessed with intellectual pursuits, to the extent they matter to you more than the things money can buy, pursuing money will make you miserable. I'll take myself as an example. I've always wanted to become a virtuoso musician, and find myself happier when I spend less time spending money and more time jamming on my instruments (or my other creative endeavors, like cooking and photography). What I would say is, you should pursuit exactly amount of effort making that will help you develop enough of a financial base to supplement your true passions.

One of the things I hate people say are “funerals are for the living not the dead” While that’s technically true, people often use it as an excuse to throw a funeral that the deceased’s would hate because they had different views than their family. An example would be if the deceased is nonreligious but they come from a religious family, and they die young so the family throws a religious funeral that deceased friend’s know they would hate

And that's the thing about these quotes; You need to be wise enough to know when it applies and when it doesn't.... And that's why they end up being misused because most of us are not the brightest crayons in the box. We hear quotes like YOLO and apply it to a situation that, when enacted, gravely endangered your life. But it's okay cuz YOLO.... Uhuh yeah. But I get your message. It's kinda like you're trying to knock some sense into clueless folks using these quotes as self therapy/pep talk sessions.
