Yes, money can provide you with comfortable living conditions. No, money can’t make you happy. You don’t even need to read a scientific study to know it’s true.
All you need to do is look at the richest men and women in the world, and it will become abundantly clear that money failed to give them what they want. Yet this self-evident truth is the one we tend to forget, want to forget.
We romanticize money. In our minds, money is never the problem; it’s how we use money is the problem. Or so it seems. We desperately want to believe that more money means more happiness. We dream of all the things we could do if we had a little money.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY
from Arrival by ABBAI work all night, I work all day to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain’t it sad?
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That’s too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d fool around and have a ballMoney, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
It’s a rich man’s worldA man like that is hard to find but I can’t get him off my mind
Ain’t it sad?
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn’t fancy me
That’s too bad
So I must leave, I’ll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the sameMoney, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s worldMoney, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
Aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
It’s a rich man’s world
“Money, Money, Money” by ABBA is a timeless classic. Complement with Erich Fromm, who said, “Happiness is a very proud word of our whole cultural heritage. … I think if you would ask people what their concept of Heaven is, and if they were honest, they would say it’s a kind of big department store with new things every week, and enough money to buy everything new,” Leo Tolstoy, who wrote, “If you are rich, then you should do everything you can to rid yourself of your wealth,” and then revisit Rowan Hooper on 10 best ways to spend a trillion dollars.
