I mean she is right "mo money mo problems".

Nah. More fame, more problems. Try being rich without the spotlight and you're golden.

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.

lol

Money buys comfort and convenience.

Those two things are not happiness.

A man can be poor with no money for his next meal and sleeping in the cold streets and still be happy.
Even jailed and happy.

There was this one russian writer who made peace with being jailed by the USSR and found happiness in gulag.

It's crazy that this is still even considered a controversial statement when we have celebrities committing suicide every year.

Money can help get you things that will make you happier, but it's not ever going to fix your demons. And many things that come with getting more money can very well amplify those demons.

Money can fix your demons, if you get therapy.

Bump

They say money can't buy happiness, but maybe she's just not buying the right stuff

she would be happier if she stopped being morbidly obese

We've already been over this. Your demons don't get "fixed". Therapy is a tool, not a cure.

Sorry to hear that

I really dont care at all about anyone spouting this nonsense.

Literally anyone depressed or sad or whatever the fuck else would be worse with less money.

Its one thing to claim youre having a hard time.

But please stop trying to say money cannot buy happiness.

I guarantee if I had even a consistent 80k a year, Id be happy as fuck.

Most problems are money related in some fashion.

What shes whining about is fame. Not the same as just money.

Congratulations, you absolutely do not understand what "money does not buy happiness" means and you're proving first-hand why she needs to make that statement

Bullshit.

If she was wealthy, but not famous, and was still not happy,

She would be less happy with less money.

If you were set on proving my post correctly, you absolutely succeeded.

All I can say is read through the topic, cause this has been covered a million times already

Bro, its three pages long. No.

You got a synopsis?

---

if money didn't buy her happiness she needs to find better friends. or she needs to stop being toxic to the friends she does have

money literally solves all your bills and gives you worry free health protection. so the only thing left is your personal relationships.

maybe making toxic songs about being judgmental towards other people's hobbies and lifestyles bled out into her real life? sounds like a fair, next situation

no one gives a fuck about Lizzo in 2020

i guess thats the real issue she has

As a hot millionaire, this is true.

I guess it depends on how you use the money.

Like, for me, its not the money itself that would make me happy.

What would make me happy is not having to waste anymore of my life slaving away at some shitty job and having time to actually live and do things.

It would make me happy not having to worry about if something happens like my car breaking down, I have to spend a lot of money I dont really have.

Having a lot of money would take away so much of what stresses me out that it would make me so much happier.

MoNeY DoEsNt BuY hApPiNeSs!

So many people slaving away at jobs that literally consume majority of their day and week leaving them mentally drained to then come home to a home that needs to be cleaned and bills on the table forcing to push off buying the relaxing new game again as you accidentally take a nap and now your kid has fell and crying his heart out.

But no. Money wont buy happiness. It totally wont remove a majority of stress in peoples lives.

I fucking hate this stupid, arrogant ass expression.

I don't think a synopsis is necessary, it's been said god-knows-how-many times that there's nothing you can 'buy' to fix inner demons, guarantee you fulfill

Im gonna @ you since you havent read my fucking posts.

Read this post again.

I didnt say money will solve all your issues 100%. I said having less money will 100% WORSEN any problems you have.

Now either respond with something relevant, or dont respond at all. Dont go lumping me in with morons who dont acknowledge mental illness.

Isnt that Precious?

It's always well off pricks that say this. "Work on yourself!" Yeah try that when you're struggling to pay the fucking bills, ungrateful fucks. "Waah I have zero monetary stress in my life I'm so unhappy! I can literally do anything I want with my days to ensure I'm in a better mental spot but it's soooo hard."

---

Conflict posted...

The fact that there are people with money, with the very lifestyles you want so badly that commit suicide every single year for these very reasons

And btw, oh Saint of Morality.

All these folks would have had a much harder time if they didnt have money.

Because heres the deal. There are zero additional problems that come from having more wealth.

People asking for money? WRONG. Leeches and opportunists exist at every socioeconomic level.

Tell me. What issues could possibly come up because you, heaven forbid, dont have to budget bills lmao. Youll have too much money for retirement? Maybe youd lose money in the stock market (the money you actually have to invest. Most folks cant even start )

These dolts are whining about fame.

Gtfo of here, Lizzo.

If money is such a problem then get rid of it.

I'm pretty sure it has been scientifically proven that money can indeed buy happiness. It won't buy everyone happiness but probably most.

Yup, 75-100k
Though I imagine that's also varied based on family size, health, and median cost of living of the area.

Goddamn this board is toxic.

1) The article makes it seem like Lizzo is complaining about her fame and wealth when she is really offering up a warning for others.

2) So many people misunderstand mental health issues and confuse things like depression with things like stress or sadness. They are very different things.

Actually, this is also false. Read post #33.

Like I said, this has all already been touched on multiple times

rich people problems like everyone always trying to scam you and family that only want to talk to you to see what they can get from inheritance.

Old people and young folks are always dealing with scams. Thats not a rich person problem. Unless you want to include the scary timeshare salesman you meet on your vacation that youd... only have the privilege of with wealth.

And family members may not be looking for inheritance, but they will still ask you for food, money, and general favors in any socioeconomic level so long as youre doing better than them. Not exclusive to wealth. And tbh, only relevant if you are showboating wealth. Idiots making 18k a year already do that on instagram.

@Conflict
What problems come from wealth? Thats exclusive? Not fame. Wealth.

I assure you, there arent any.

The only way there are is if you want to factor in folks being irresponsible. But I want you to guess what happens to you if youre poor and irresponsible.

I appreciate you referencing specific posts. I might read the rest of the topic today. But I refuse to believe you actually think there can negative consequences of simply having more money.

man people here are young/stupid if they think she's wrong on this.

the relevant argument isn't that money causes the issues that make people unhappy, the people is that money is not immunity from those problems

Stop auto-assuming Im the idiots saying money solves everything. Money would solve MY problems, but thats not a blanket rule.

My concern is the focus on wealth being problematic. Warnings that becoming rich will solve my problems not being true are fine. But to imply you get unique problems because of money alone? Someone mentioned scams lmao. Yall know about payday loans? Guess who that targets.

Im sure if you think this through, youd see how Biggie has a biiiiiit of fame attached to his life.

Which is my point. Its fame. Not wealth.
