Current Events > Lizzo cries on TikTok: money doesn't buy you fucking happiness

(+) Yeah! (+)

Correct, money does not buy you happiness. Money buys things that make you happy.

Also fame and money are not interchangeable. Everything she's whining about is a result of her fame, not her money.

---

Duh, its always been known that money won't solve all your problems.

Depression? Unlimited resources to therapy.

I cannot see how money wouldn't buy anyone happiness. Maybe she pays too much attention to social media.

Therapy does not fix depression. Lol

God I can't facepalm hard enough

tbh if I became mega rich, I wouldn't want a life of fame, I'd go live on an island in Greece or something and try and be as anonymous as possible

Being famous would suck ass

i already responded to that entire post with the other post that you chose not to respond to, the one where i explained that the exceptions shouldn't make the rule

stop wasting your time typing up walls of blah blah and read

guys like you, that just come here to shout incel and act small like you're doing now, dime a dozen on this site. be better

Does lizzo have of? asking for friend

Studies have shown that happiness positively correlates to increased wealth up to around 70k annual salary. Higher than that and the correlation drastically dissipateswhich supports the idea that having enough money to eliminate the stressors of low income improves happiness, but money in excess of that does not.

Spoken from experience, yes it does lol. Not just talking to a therapist either. You've got access to the medical side too. You seem pretty aggressive over this topic.

It literally is the rule. Money does not fix internal problems. You've been given a dozen examples in this very topic on how they don't.

Also, if you bothered reading, you'd notice I didn't call you an incel. I said you sound like the incels that think getting a girlfriend would flip their whole world right-side up. These people are living proof that being rich doesn't fix all of their problems.

If you would be content with more money, cool. But don't come in here with this "oh she's rich blah blah idgaf. she can stfu" garbage as if wealthy people can't possibly have any problems.

What "experience" did you have? You clearly didn't have actual depression if you think therapy "fixed" it, because that's not how it works. That's never been how it works. Depression doesn't go away, it's stuck with you. Therapy gives you techniques on how to deal with it and micromanage it.

Don't see how she's wrong

Money eliminates a ton of problems but it still does not buy happiness

This is true.

But rich people don't need to say it over and over either. Money gives an ultimate chance for happiness and the only true freedom in this world belongs to those with substantial wealth.

If you're in a position where you have to choose between eating Ramen for weeks on end or having your power cut off money would make a whole fuck load of difference. Hard to be happy if youre hungry.

Techniques that live with me till this day. Thank you limited money for aiding me to my happiness :)

Lol wth is up with this One Day guy.

From my experience: going from 20K to 130K a year in a matter of 3 years made a huge difference in my demeanor... and in a positive way. I can agree that even more than that isn't going to do much for most, but I'm not like most and am aiming for $300 - $400K a year.

Thats really ignorant tbh dude.

Your situation doesn't match everyone on earth and plenty of people don't get better from mental illness quality care or not.

I'm pretty happy though so seems fixed lol.

Lmao she really thought money would buy her happiness? Foolish tbh

If it was "fixed" like you were alluding to, you wouldn't need to keep practicing those techniques.

I really don't see the point of you dying on this hill of unabashed ignorance, you're better off just admitting therapy helped you lots but you understand it's not a cure and won't "fix" anyone's depression.

Feels like I'm not depressed anymore. We're basing this money debate on the idea that all rich people have mental illnesses. Yes, if you have a severe illness and happen to be very wealthy then it can be managed with money which will buy you more happiness than you did before money was a factor.

I'm merely okay. I dont make much at my new job but I like it a lot more than all previous jobs since the radio days... but compared to having zero cushion and no spending money (a life ive experienced a fair bit of over the years) the difference is night and day.

I've been in a situation before for a long time where every cent mattered and I still came up short fairly often. The stress of that and the inability to afford anything at all in your free time makes it goddamnes hard to be happy to say the least.

I've also made 13 grand a month for about a year and the ability to effortlessly save more than I make and still do whatever the fuck I felt like was glorious.

I mean its the human condition though. Your base line stops seeming incredible and just starts to become bare minimum somehow. It didnt happen to me when I had tons of money but I can see how it does.

Even now having a 3 month cushion financially and having cash for beers and whatever I often have to take a step back and think about what being truly broke wise like to really appreciat it the way I should.

she CAN stfu, btw. she needs to talk about her personal issues with people close to her instead of saying "money can't buy you fucking happiness". money can't buy HER happiness, no, apparently not but it CAN buy happiness for most people as said and she has no business telling anyone what it takes to make them happy. instead of talking to people or working through her problems though she's on tiktok fishing for likes and reactions from her base. if she's not in a good place and feels bad and is having a bad day like she said, maybe she should be working on that instead of telling everyone that because money wasn't a miracle cure for her problems it won't make anyone happy

List could go on.

Exactly unless you've got some kind of severe mental illness.

---

Bro you're literally the reason she's doing this and it's funny how you don't realize it

These aren't "exceptions", they're documented facts. They're not up for debate. You can become happier, but you can't purchase something that will suddenly erase your demons, gain you fulfilling relationships, and make everything so perfect that you'll never be in a slump again. She's doing this publicly because people like you don't get it.
---

So people without fincancial issues still cant figure out happiness.

I guess those that are miserably poor should just give up.

If you cant use money as a tool to help you find happiness then you really are hopeless.

You can literally pay therapists, and pick the one you want, to help you figure out your shit.

I dont have the time or money and i just have to struggle through all the shit.

You can become happier

...So you can buy happiness?

Sure, I guess take that sentence fragment out of context if you think it helps your narrative. It doesn't tho
---

woah. i'm literally the reason lizzo is making sad tiktok videos for attention. and i totally just learned that exception is the opposite of fact and means fiction. wow. today is wild brah

so let's review
money can only buy you some happiness and won't make your life totally perfect or fix everything wrong with it

in case you didn't realize (i can tell you're struggling) nobody said money will make your life perfect. all people are saying is that money can in fact buy happiness because it can buy the things that increase happiness, which you yourself just admitted to

so

i think that about wraps it all up brah

go DM lizzo and tell her i'm sorry for being the sole cause of her issues, i really had no idea i was having that much of an impact on her. but you did say literally and you're clearly super smart so you must know what you're talking about

I bought some new games. They bring me happiness. Therefore, money bought me happiness.

But according to you, money isn't buying me happiness because...?

---

YugiNoob posted...

But according to you, money isn't buying me happiness because...?

because of your inner demons, brah! pay attention! how you gonna enjoy them games when the skeletons in your closet keep unplugging your TV???????

Lmao holy shit this melty

I didn't think I'd need to explain that when I said "you're the reason she's doing this", I didn't mean she was doing this because of you specifically, but because of the ignorant rhetoric people like you regularly parrot. But here we are, since your apparently your reading comprehension is that poor you have to read everything super literal.

The whole point that's been stated several dozen times already is that money will not make you content and happy for the rest of your life. Right now you're thinking "oh man, it would be great if I had more disposable income to fund my hobbies or pay off my debt", and that would make you happy in the moment, but that's it. Your demons and internal hangups will not be fixed, and you obviously don't need to have a "severe mental illness" to have those.

If you still can't figure it out, I really don't know what to tell you. It's been explained a lot of times by multiple people in this topic.

I didn't mean she was doing this because of you specifically,

but you said 'literally' and since you keep taking everything literally i thought that's what i was supposed to do. and since you're so smart i really thought you would pick up on how i was playing that back on you... but here we are.

so let me raise you a big fat hypothetical here bro: what if I ain't got demons? what if my problems are all financial? money still can't buy me happiness? why?

Oh, I get it. You didn't realize that the definition of the word 'literally' has evolved for hyperbolic usage.

Its only been that way for what, seven years now?

Well yeah tbf a better way to say it is "you can be miserable even with money."

If i could literally just have a house with a big garage I can have a shop in and enough room for a skatepark in the yard and be able to pay it off and have 25k a year to spend left over or from investments (cause no rent or mortgage only property tax) i would be living the fucking dream. 1 million and I could have actual freedom. I dknt even need to travel or buy anything expensive excepts bikes and the tools and shit for my shop.

Just two bedrooms... one for sleep on with some weights, a bag, and the entire walls turned into a giant super walter playground.

I literally can't even fathom how great thatd be. So yeah money would make me happy.

you're still not picking up on it. i give up brah. trying to help you think is too hard a job to do for free

If your problems are all financial, then cool. That really doesn't contradict anything she said at all. Your hypothetical situation isn't even remotely common, and it doesn't address problems you could encounter down the road that money will not fix.

Forget about trying to "help me think", you can't even think on your own. Lol

Yeah, people can be miserable with money, no doubt. But that's all on a person-by-person basis. For this land whale to flat out say it doesn't buy happiness is wrong. And what's worse is that she's citing problems regarding her fame, not wealth <_<

---

I feel like money doesn't buy you happiness when you think ONLY money is needed to be happy. It definitely helps if you know what to do with it. If you want to stay in the public eye and throw it around, you're gonna end up with problems. But I'm the type to just take enough to live a humble life by some woods and what not, then allocate the rest to investments that would grow and investments in people and charities I'd love to see grow alongside me. The whole time being prepared to lose everything, so I never stop appreciating what I have.

Land-whale is harsh, but I agree - her fame is the root of her problems

Unfortunately for an artist who is playing a musicians game in the 21st century (esp. in the genre shes doing), she can easily be replaced by a boatload of others - she needs to do commercials or tik-tok/instagram and be in the limelight to keep any sort of relevancy

Sucks.. Im sure my money troubles would go away but my life troubles wouldnt - I wouldnt be satisfied where I am musically and thats more important to me than trips, money, and people at this point

Sometimes youre a its the destination person and sometimes youre a its the journey type-o person

Right? Stay off social media and hit the gym. It'll do wonders to your mental health.

Money does buy happiness.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you just about everything else

---

Bump

Yes, but I am also kinda skeptical and would like the be rich first

i'd give up all the money in my bank account right now to wake up tomorrow feeling good, for once

using money to buy material things makes me feel happy for about a minute and then I realize what the reality of the situation is

Maybe if I was filthy rich but ATM no way does money buy me happiness

Once more Lizzo is wrong. People with money are normally happy. There have been study after study that prove that money can make a person happier.

Shes right, but it sure helps.
Comeon Lizzobeth with that crying online. Makes you look insane
