Would money solve your problems?

@Creamyyy Just being honest here... a lot of my deep rooted problems are mental and emotional, so money definitely wouldn't be able to fix them all. That's a me problem. :) As for as physical, sure. Money would for sure make life more enjoyable and comfortable for me, my family, and loved ones... and that sounds pretty nice right about now. :) 

Money cannot solve the problem. But I do think that there has to be financial stability to be able to do various things such as buying things such as food etc.

Having too much money 💰 again is not really okay. Unless you decide on giving others.

@Creamyyy in my perspective, money can solve all my problems

Not all problems but it would help me get more peace of mind. I could budget less, splurge more, not worry as much about big future necessities.

However I still would have confidence/family/health issues to contend with and other stuff really..

@Creamyyy Personally..no. The real solution is more complex than that.

Hmm 🤔

You said you’re 50/50. I feel that.

For me I don’t think it would be the “having” money that would solve my problems, but rather the “getting” money.

Right now, I think I’m at the best emotional/mental place I’ve been for a long while except I feel very limited around my ability to earn money and grow/not waste what I’ve earned.

To say it another way, I often think that if were a more resourceful and enterprising person, someone who was more opportunistic and strategic, I wouldn’t have some of the problems I struggle with now. If I just “had” the money, I don’t think I would’ve realized where I fall short in these qualities or how my not appreciating them led to the choices that led to these experiences 😖 Even if it kinda sucks to go through and navigate.

So… no is my final conclusion I think. I’d still be happy to receive an inheritance from a long list relative though 😅

@Creamyyy

Money is a financial matter, so I think it can only solve our financial problems.

Money does solve all common security and health problems for the average person or family. It won’t bring world peace and it won’t solve cancer in one donation.

We often hear “more money, more problems” and that’s a flat out lie. What happens in the latter scenario is poor fiscal management with money leads to more problems. That’s true for anyone regardless of how much or how diverse the financial resources one has under their control.

The whole concept of universal basic income bets on the premise that there’s a minimum amount to survive and a minimum amount to thrive depending on localized costs of living. This should not be controversial. It’s simple math.

Anyone who tells you that “money won’t bring you happiness” is either maliciously lying or bought into the “positive thinking” ***. Affirmations are real and produce real results for attainable goals, yet “positive thinking/wishing” does not. If positive thinking worked, we’d all be millionaires.

Money can absolutely “buy” love. Money can “buy” an entourage. Will it buy genuine connections? I don’t know. Sometimes it does. The more money one has the more opportunities one gets.

Again, if anyone tells you different they are lying to you or they are complaining about fame in having a lot of money. News flash: You don’t have to be famous to be a billionaire. Ex: Every heard of the 5 Hour Energy founder? Of course you didn’t.

In conclusion, money does solve the majority problems. If you had a lot of money, you could get the best medical treatment, the best therapists, and the best opportunities. A rich man can pretend to be poor but a poor man cannot pretend to be rich. Think about that.

There are happy homeless. There are happy dumpster divers. There are people who have made a conscious choice to live a vagabond life. They’re rare. They’re outliers. Just like billionaires are outliers. Don’t let outliers drive your life decisions.

The average is just fine. If you’re making the average cost of living in a major city consider your fiscal health a success. If you’re saving a grand a month, celebrate that you’re officially thriving.

The current economy sucks and we’re in a recession (no government will ever admit it these days). Everyone is feeling fiscal pain around the world (thanks globalism). Can we be happy with less? Yes. Can we fix chronic illness? No. Can we manage pain better? Yes, and there’s a direct correlation with paying a higher price for better health outcomes.

I rest my case, your honor. I’ll now defer to the jury that is life.
