You can't buy a happy life, trying to do so is counterproductive. Think of the amount of celebrity suicides and general dysfunction that you see, if money and status could be exchanged for joy at any equal rate, then why is it that many statusmaxxed people can't even remain content with life? The problem is that this is going about it from the wrong approach, adding illusory and tolerance building pleasures can't even hope to compensate for existing needs and desires which haven't been addressed or eliminated, in fact these pleasures can make the situation even worse if they increase your expectations.
Tbh I suspect that the only truly "happy" people are those who are attractive, have been constantly validated throughout their entire lives, and are exceptionally delusional. For the rest of us, trying to live a content life is a much better and less self defeating goal than chasing happiness, and unlike happiness it can actually be achievable. The problem is, how the fuck can anyone be content with wageslaving for no tangible reward?
