Lived experience sits next to the community vote. Official sources never override either.
Posts arguing that "money can't buy happiness" is outdated advice keep spreading. The argument: money buys choices, time, and less stress, and that's most of what happiness is. The pushback: plenty of rich people are miserable, and once your bills are covered more money doesn't change much. Is money basically happiness with extra steps, or does it stop helping after a certain point?
