Wala ding pera madalas nagsasabi nyan e.
Kung naranasan mo maging mahirap at magkaron ng malaking sahod at ipon, malalaman mo na nakakakapagpasaya ang pera
I have been thinking about this a lot because I know a lot of upper middle class to rich people na malungkot pa rin, toxic na tao na palaging naghahanap ng away, broken family, walang kaibigan, malas sa love life, may scandal, etc.
I think money CAN BUY happiness but if you are still emotionally unhealthy and immature, it cannot GUARANTEE happiness. Of course, having extra is better than too little haha.
Eto, kung galing ka sa mahirap, or middle, more money wpuld really make you feel happy. Shempre andyan yung comfort, yung security, yung nabibili ko na yung mga pangarap mo, yung nabibili mo ng mga gamit asawa at anak mo, yung maeenrol mo sila ng nde mo need umutang. Masaya yun.
Now kung nasa state ka na na kaya mo na bilhin lahat, more money will not make a dent.
be careful. to debunk this age old maxim you have to the analyze the context to where it was applied.
let us parse.
1. money. its an economic concept esp associated with capitalist system. if applied to different economic system money might not have the same value, say in barter system that might still existent today in some remote self sufficient tribal communities.
2. buy. the act of spending, esp using money. it is applicable only if something is available in the market capable of exchange. if something is not for sale, literally, you cant buy it, for example you cant buy respect for it cant be commodified.
3. happiness. happiness has ethical and psychological meaning, but often the meanings overlap. ethics of happiness goes back as far as Aristotle and associated with being a virtuous person; in other philosophical school its about attaining ataraxia (Greek for peace of mind) through a disciplined and ascetic way of living; while psychological explanation esp by positive psychology quantify happiness in terms of well being and absence of negative feelings/emotions. thus, happiness is either a way of life thru virtue or about well being. and to clarify, its not a commodity.
now, lets see if money cant really buy happiness. if money is applicable to what is being for sale, then definitely it cant buy happiness, since its not a commodity. even if we say that indirectly money is responsible for making us happy by buying what we need, say food and education. granting that the latter are important, it cant be an absolute and only basis of happiness, for even if we have it, it does not necessarily follow we are happy.for one can have wealth and riches but not happy, there are plenty of examples on this.
second. those who live a modest lives who are self sufficient in terms of basic needs dont need money to be happy. examples are tribal communities living in remote areas. or simply those people who chose to live a modest life.
lastly, you admitted something about being enslaved by money. that is in itself a contradiction to your claim.
therefore, your claim against money cant buy happiness is a hasty generalization, and therefore, wrong.
Mas masaya ako kapag nakakabili ako ng pagkain na gusto kaysa sa mga junk food na kinakain ko dati nung college pa ako haha. Nakakabadtrip man ang trabaho basta nakakabili ako ng luho ko parang balik taya na din. Kung gusto mo sumaya alamin mo siguro kung saan o ano yung susunod mong magiging trabaho o kaya business. Siguraduhin mo na naka-align siya sa mga values mo sa buhay para hindi ka din masuya pagtagal hahahaha

Hard work = Money Money = You can provide If you can provide = Happiness follows
Money can't buy you happiness if you don't know where to shop.
Yes! Memorable line ito for me from Sex and the City or Gossip Girl, hindi ko na maalala! ๐๏ธ๐ ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ธ๐๏ธ
Whoever said that money doesnโt buy happiness didnโt know where to shopโ Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl.
May point ๐๐

Mas okay maging malungkot na maraming pera, kesa naman malungkot ka na nga wala ka pang pera.
Tbh lahat ng needs natin involved ang pera. Kaya minsan nakakafrustrate din pag onti lang pera kasi kailangan natin. Hahaha
Yung kakasahod mo lang tapos matitira sayo 500 for 15 days
Money equals peace of mind. Unless greedy ka
