>>206400 >Speaking of which, "money doesn't buy happiness"? Tell you what, give me all yours. You can try to prove you can be happy while broke. And I'd like a chance to prove more money can't make me happy. The research has been done already by scientists. Money improves one's general happiness only until you get to the point that you can live comfortably. Once you have enough money that your basic needs are met, increasing the amount of money you have does not make you happier--in fact, the more you have, the more it takes to make you happy, much like with an addictive drug.
Over time, your brain will always adjust to treat "normal" as unfulfilling. So if you become rich, your brain will treat being rich as normal, and therefore no more interesting than being comfortable. When you first become rich, you will be happy for a little while, but your mood will eventually normalize.
This is why the rich always seem to be the greediest people in the world--millionaires don't think "Wheeee! I can buy all the toys I want~!" they think "How come I'm not a billionaire?!"
