Money is Everything.

I agree,
It took me kind of a long time in life....to truly realize that a Rolex watch, or $1,000 shoes, or boner pills or looks, or a Porsche or status and titles won't make me happy.
Happiness has to truly be natural, and authentic, from within....an inner glow beyond the material, fake, hyped up world.
Similar to a child just enjoying and absorbing life, and all its random moments.
True happiness to me are my two dogs. and other pets I have owned in the past. Heart for something is Happiness.

How do you support your pets? With warm wishes and good thoughts? Or did you buy them food? Dog food costs MONEY.
If you have no money and you watch your dogs starve to death, that will make you unhappy. Money will thus provide happiness, because you can FEED them.
Unfortunately, most people I see (online and offline, rich or poor) are brain dead.
They live to please others, but not themselves.
You should try it sometime. Just for the hell of it, perform a random act of kindness, see if you don't feel better.
I was actually referring to online gurus with their lambos and all their gullible followers who look up to that kind of fake life.
I think it's important to ask yourself for whom you're making money. Is it for yourself or for the sake of "showing off" to others (from which you derive pleasure, aka validation)? And lastly, just how much money is enough? Can you be content with basic subsistence (eg. basic food, clothing, housing, etc) or do you need to be uber rich (and do you even know why)?
So are you happy? Rich? Poor?
What do you consider the real world? What are we talking about here?
A partner, family & friends, a job you don't totally hate, fun hobbies, socialising and a couple of holidays a year, good physical and mental health.
You don't need to be rich to have and maintain all of the above.
Then there are material things: big expensive house(s), expensive cars, expensive holidays, expensive clothes, jewellery, watches and handbags
.
Those extra material things will not add much to your happiness. In many/most cases the pursuit and maintenance of them will actually reduce happiness. They are just nice to haves as long as you can easily afford them.

So yes, money buys happiness. NO IT DOESN'T. It just doesn't. Where can you buy it if it does?
Being poor will eventually turn happiness into sadness. NO IT DOESN'T. Some of the happiest people I have met are poor
Dayum. Good one MacBook.
