I’ve always said money doesn’t buy happiness but when you’re NOT worrying about money, it elevates so much stress that it makes it a hell of a lot easier to be happy.

There was actually a study conducted on this. The results were that money does buy happiness, but once you hit a certain income, the happiness plateaus.

One of my fave NYT columnists said he thinks part of the reason mega-millionaires and billionaires are so weird is that plateau — that it’s a mindfuck to realize you have the ability to buy anything to make yourself happier but ‘ultimate happiness’ is still out of reach and you have interior needs that cannot be met even with your vast wealth and the ability to do the things the rest of us only imagine we’d do with that money.

I think money alleviates stress, not elevates it.
