Money won't make you happy

[@garyvee]

Be happy, live within your means, and do it around the shit you love. That's it .. that's the recipe. Really hoping we can begin to turn the narrative about "success" from money to happiness and content.

I wish more people were predicating this.

[@draj3214]

i’d literally accept $50k/yr to take a development job, but getting an interview is hard af 😂 it’s truly what I love doing. career pivots are a challenge.

[@3polygons]

@@draj3214 Programming is a *VERY* good field. You will get a job, keep trying, the prize is for those with patience. :). It is more important to be patient than to be a genius, trust me. (I have worked at 10 companies in IT, but as a graphic designer for web/print for corporate image and etc, and game artist, but have worked together with many developers. Also for coders as a freelancer (as currently)). Keep at it, seriously, you will get that job, and then, many more.

[@3polygons]

@@draj3214 Meanwhile, do some coding project, something interesting for you, and put the results (maybe even a blog with the progress! to bring attention) on a blog and on Linkedin (important). You might be surprised. In the worse scenario, the accountability generated to yourself, even if not getting interviews, make you work heavily in the project, and that's how one learns more, and very importantly, then you will have that project to show, not just a cold resume. If you make a second project (but finish each one!!) and then a third one, then much better. One way or the other, this is what you like, you will get a job.

Yes you correct. I trying to say to my friends but they don’t get this . They show things in order to impress on others what they don’t have. For me , I rather keep myself low key and work hard what suit me and trust my process. I don’t ever bother to go after those materials possession as it didn’t cross my mind thru. I just want them to be more mindful on their security and value. I don’t care how expensive things and cars and big house but in the end , it was all about their responsibility to pay their bills. That’s it.

Money absolutely makes me happy. It’s actually not the money though. It’s the freedom and comfort that it buys that makes me happy

[@one234569and10]

When you have no money you're unemployed and had no income... Money sure as f*** is going to make you happy..

[@mordekhaimakahanap890]

Happy is when u feels "enough" get poor and had no money at all surely didnt make u happy. But, it doesnt mean when u have million dollar u will feels happy too. Because oftenly, u still dont feel "enough" with those moneys

[@peacesearcher4598]

Money only makes life easier Inside yourself can be messy

[@matthewgwynne7874]

money can get you the life you want. nobody can tell you what life you should live. dont listen to anybody. money can and will buy happiness. i would always rather be rich than poor. end of

[@Anika99356]

Money buys comfort and temporary pleasure. Happiness and fulfillment come from within.

[@cleanerdetailsllc7789]

Money isn't everything, but the sure lack of it can make life really suck :) Imagine being in your 40's, you live in a major US city. You have a wife and kids and you're supposed to be content with making 50k a year?. Gary, You'd be destitute on that wage.

I can’t stand dudes with hundreds a million of dollars saying money isn’t everything. Okay? Give it all away then and you make 50 grand a year. They never will because it’s bs and they know it.

True lol

[@jeffnajarro1241]

Who would know how meaningless money is, the rich or the poor? If you think money is everything, you've already lost. It's not a new concept

[@Anika99356]

​@@jeffnajarro1241Couldn't gave said it better. Money buys temporary pleasure not happiness

[@elitecoder955]

I'm sure they will give it all away once they are in the coffin...

[@SBART1]

Send me yours and you will see how happy it will make me. I would be able to pay off my mortgage, pay my student loan and help all my family in Jamaica.

[@cleanerdetailsllc7789]

You have to see through Gary's Bullshit. It's all a smoke screen

[@Anika99356]

Yes it will make you happy but only temporarily, happiness is a choice and you can find it by living a balanced lifestyle, being grateful for what you have and appreciating the little things. Life is too short to remain miserable.

[@SBART1]

@@Anika99356 stop reading so much into things. Laugh and keep it pushing.

Saving money should be done smartly. This means investing some of it, making other means if income. Cash flow is the secret.

“‘My other piece of advice, Copperfield,’ said Mr. Micawber, ‘you know. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds nought and six, result misery.” David Copperfield (1850)

Even so… money does buy peace of mind. Stop acting like money won‘t change your life

[@TehZNCify]

Exactly I can’t stand dudes with hundreds a million of dollars say money isn’t everything. Okay? Give it all away then and you make 50 grand a year. They never will because it’s bs and they know it.

[@NeoZiegelbauer]

@@TehZNCify Precisely. But you know, as they say… if all people have money, no one has money

[@vanguard812-vf7hr]

I feel like there getting people to just spend more to get rid of money. What he should have said is consumerism doesn't make you happy which I notice many people are stuck in debt because these stupid trends that get people buy more for that tempoary happinest or buy to please others. Consumerism is nice when its balance but now its predatory.

[@nohandles89]

I need to have a hard life and grind and grind until i have multiple milions of dollars so i can grow up as a person its not always about the stuff you get on the way but if i could learn and grow so i can never worry about life again and my kids never have to worry about life i will be happy in my grave

"money does not buy happiness" is what the rich tell the poor so they stay poor.

That is why Mr beast is so happy. Money is a after effect not the cause.

[@Kyouma.]

Most people here don't get the message. Money is artificial. It's not real. It's only real because we all agreed that it is, but it's actually not. Or as Alan Watts said: "You still believe money is real."
