Here's mine and you can quote me on it:
"Money can't buy happiness, but it sure is easier to search for happiness when you don't have to worry about the money."
I always looked at it as "money buys happiness with diminishing returns". Having enough money usually leads to a good deal of happiness over no money, but all the money doesn't usually lead to all the happiness.
But yours is very accurate, too. While I am not sure how the hierarchy of needs is seen rn, I find it still is a valid framework. And on it, having security of food and shelter are pretty fundamental, and guess what; they are all money based.
Money can't buy happiness but it sure takes the sting out of being poor
Money can't buy you happiness, but lack of it usually makes you not happier.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can sure as hell pay off stress.
Exactly. I’m not unhappy cause I’m skint, it’s just all of my problems would go away if I had a few more quid.
