Everything happens for a reason. Yeah sure and the reasons are because of someone’s action or inaction. There is no all knowing benevolent deity effecting things in our lives.
I always say money doesn’t buy happiness, but it is a prerequisite. Starving homeless people don’t have a lot of opportunity to seek whatever makes them happy.
I’d say that people often misunderstand the “Money can’t buy happiness” thing. I think the saying should be “Money BY ITSELF can’t buy happiness.” Happiness is bought by being smart with the resources you have. There are happy poor people and miserable rich people because even though money helps, it’s not the main deciding factor as to whether or not you’ll be happy, it’s your decisions and personal mental framework.
Below a certain threshold, it is a big deciding factor. Doesn’t matter your outlook if you can’t afford to go to the doctor, or eat healthy foods.
Everyone returns to their baseline happiness 3 months after something big happens, but when you’re poor, hard things happen more often than every three months.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is you’re stupid and make bad decisions.
HAHA yeah! And typically that is the reason more often than sometimes.

Actually more nuanced. It does, as long as you don’t have to worry about affordability. Over that, it only adds worries.
