I’m sick of people saying that money can’t buy happiness because most if not all of my problems would be solved if I had a lot of money

It can’t buy happiness, but it can buy stability. And it’s much easier to be happy when you’re financially stable

Like yes I get that it doesn’t buy “true” happiness, but my life would be a hell of a lot better with more money

Money only satiates your desires. If you truly believe money can buy you happiness, you will never be satisfied with how much money you have now. You will always want more; be more “happy”. This is why many religions warn you about idolizing money. If you believe money is the key to “most if not all” your problems, then even the day you find the solution (stability, paid off loans, etc), you will not recognize it. You will never have and be satisfied with enough money, enough “happiness”.

Become rich, do everything you ever wanted, become depressed and lonely, no one will want someone whose overly rich and depressed, and snobby, therefore not happy
