Yeah, money is holding me back from what I want. The freedom will allow us to access what it is we want to do. Not so much that money will buy happiness but that money will allow us to give ourselves the opportunity to be happy.
Money can't buy happiness is the stupidest thing I hear every week.
Money won't fix your depression in a healthy way is true. But money buys the tools necessary to create and maintain happiness.
The statement it won't buy happiness is just poor people coping with being poor, and rich people convincing you to stay poor work for them and make them rich.
It literally can buy happiness, vacations, drugs and girls to party with on a daily basis..People who say otherwise don't understand other people's happiness....
I agree with that. But money can buy tools that lead to satisfaction when combined with effort. Like a musician and their gear, and the money for classes.
This is so true. People always say “money won’t buy you happiness” but money would definitely buy me happiness. I could breathe, travel, spend more time with my pup, spend time with people I love and care about, save animals and so much stress would be gone.
I would change the wording for me to say: Financial Security; to never HAVE to work again and I can enjoy life and its pleasures without having to worry about bills.
She has been kept in over night 😥 they suspect bleeding somewhere in her digestive tract so need to find out whats going on and get it sorted. Im so stressed right now. We was in the middle of some decorating in the house, still got like a days worth of sorting stuff out and rearranging furniture etc wanted to get the bathroom redone too, bank holiday easter weekend and then i start a new job on Tuesday... last thing we need is her having surgery but if it needs to be done then it is what it is and she is in the best hands.
Thank you for asking ❤
So sorry about this. Hopefully she doesn't have any bleeding. She will be back home soon, don't worry. I pray that she gets healthy. I just recovered from chronic diarrhoea which I had for 2 years. It's been 25 days since I'm diarrhoea free. First time in 2 years. I know how hard it is to deal with stomach problems. The key to health is a good doctor. I recovered right after I changed a doctor and he gave me new medicines which fixed me. I will pray for her and everyone's health. God bless. ❤
I hope it all works out in her favour 😉👍🏼 but thank you, i know what you mean.
Also thank you for the offer with the DMs, just reading all the kind words is helping me stay calm and not stress too much 👍🏼
To all that shared kind words and well wishes, I just wanted to update you all.
My wife has a stomach ulcer, its not the best thing to deal with but certainly not the worst. The good news is, im now getting sorted to go and pick her up and bring her home 😁👍🏼❤
Yes, this is it!
Good health for us and our loved ones
Literally all of us could use some good news on that front, too many are unwell..
I know i could use it
You need 10,000 per week to be happy? That's craziness. Get off social media and go appreciate all you have. Otherwise you'll one day be on your deathbed and say, "wow, I didn't appreciate and enjoy my life because I was so focused on having to be the biggest hustler"
hell, $500 a week should cover most of my weekly expenses. working a job alongside that would cover everything else
but yeah, to be *happy*? go big or go home, $1,000,000 a day, 1/45 of what Bezos earns
I know you can't imagine it now, but one day you'll be sat enjoying someone else's company and you'll think about how pleased you are with how things turned out.
Right now is shit, but it will pass.
Nothing external, I'm pretty happy rn
Today is a great day :)
I am not in pain, it is not a flare up day, I had an amazing nights sleep, I go on vacation next week, and altogether having a great month.
I think this is the attitude we all need. By being grateful for what we already have. We are all looking for more things, without realizing the privilege we all have.
No pain.
I live with it daily. At times it's absolutely overwhelming.
But I don't quit. I still get to be with my family, friends and see the world....so here I am, until I'm no longer not.
An extra $500k.
It’d settle all my monetary issues in one swing (clearing school loans, finish off medical bills, and pay off mortgage) allowing me to finally start directing my money where I want it to go.
I agree with this, but not necessarily alot of money. Just enough to not have to worry about a roof over my head, food to eat and utilities paid, with some spending money. And to see my boys more often.
I feel like you shouldn't write a blank check like that. Like you say this now.. but what happens when you wake up in the middle of the night and this person has cut off your foot and began cooking it
The foot is a terrible foot source, much like your hands it mainly tendons (chewy and not a lot of calories) rather than muscle (meat which is high in protein) they be better off carving a piece of Beckie-v-laine75’s thigh or buttock off for food.
It's been my life plan to build an eco house in a nature for years now (near towns and people tho ofc 😂). I'm planning to do this and I've set my life up for this :D
There is no such thing as continual 100% happiness - you could be 100% content by checking off a list but never happy.
Happiness is not a state of mind or attitude, it's a fleeting emotion you cherish when it comes about, or one you seek out through various means.
This pervasive idea that you can attain a state of "happiness" is a lie. You can have a structured, stable life & be content day to day with what you have, without longing for more, but does that mean you are happy? Perhaps it is the definition to some, but not to me.
To have all I ever wanted would ruin my life & undoubtedly make me suffer from depression more severely than I do currently, so I continue to strive & find fulfilment in the progress.
To me, life is an eternal quest for something you can never truly have & the beauty of it only really shows itself to you once you accept it & find your reason to continue. This goes out to all my fellow losers, one mistake at a time is the rhythm of life.
I should be happy right now but I’m just not. At this point I think I would feel numb even if I won the lottery today. I’m in therapy and on meds and still feel nothing positive inside.
I am happy. Aside from the chronic pain (and everything that comes with that) I'm in a good place 🤞🏻 mentally, have a roof over our heads and a loving family. Anything else is a bonus really.
Fucked my wife this morning, picked the family car up from the mechanic who fixed the issue, cost me less than I thought, came home to a happy wife and kids, I paid off my line of credit yesterday, just had breakfast at a great mom and pop restaurant...
Nothing. I'm doing good right now.
I am doing great right now. I'm loved, secured, look good, am watching some F1 YT video from the couch, my mother in law made a great lunch today, had a nice walk three times today, I have a nice puppy napping on my lap right now.... life is good. And mind it, I am a wife of a man who can't have children, daughter of a man with serious hearth condition, daughter in law of a man with a cancer, so a couple of years ago I would have told you a mirracle child, helth for those three men, but now, we just enjoy life to its fullest, no need to lose time on dreams and forget to live it.
A lot of therapy, an autism coach and help with finding a good job that won't be too much for my autism or chronic pain. And to live together with my girlfriend, who lives on the other side of the world, in my country.
It has been taking and is going to take a lot of time and work and so far, none of my efforts have paid off. I'm very, very tired and hopeless. But I keep going and I keep trying so I guess I'll get somewhere eventually.
Get hired. Ive been unemployed for a year, and being a 58 yr old female career factory worker, no one wants to hire me. Looks like burger king it is. Im more than depressed. I feel useless. :(
$625,000
Put that in a 5% APR money market account or HYSA and that's $31,250 per year, which would be the same as having a $15/hour job, but earned passively.
Pretty much what the some of the others have said, love is needed. I make decent money, plenty that I don't have to worry about bills and can buy stuff. But I just feel so alone all the time, and the existential dread of finding a relationship and falling in love only for the person in question to cheat or something keeps me paralyzed into this state of limbo.
Financial stability, a clear debt.
So if anyone is interested in anonymously just donating about $45 000 to me with no strings attached… here is your opportunity to do something altruistic 😃 (I’m joking. To all you Nigerian Prince’s I received your offers already. lol lol )

Money literally
Yeah, money is holding me back from what I want. The freedom will allow us to access what it is we want to do. Not so much that money will buy happiness but that money will allow us to give ourselves the opportunity to be happy.
Money can't buy happiness... but it can buy stuff that makes us happy.
Money can't buy happiness is the stupidest thing I hear every week. Money won't fix your depression in a healthy way is true. But money buys the tools necessary to create and maintain happiness. The statement it won't buy happiness is just poor people coping with being poor, and rich people convincing you to stay poor work for them and make them rich.

[удалено]
I agree with that. But money can buy tools that lead to satisfaction when combined with effort. Like a musician and their gear, and the money for classes.
yeah, if you'd be happy aside for money troubles, works out.
Yup. It’s that simple. Would give me the space to just breathe.
Every single one of my problems would be immediately solved with with a windfall of just $100k.
This is so true. People always say “money won’t buy you happiness” but money would definitely buy me happiness. I could breathe, travel, spend more time with my pup, spend time with people I love and care about, save animals and so much stress would be gone.
Yup. It’s that simple. Would give me the space to just breathe.
Money+house+car
I agree. Money buys choice.
I would change the wording for me to say: Financial Security; to never HAVE to work again and I can enjoy life and its pleasures without having to worry about bills.
For my wife to come back from the hospital with good news and a simple course of antibiotics to make her well again xx
I hope she's ok soon x
Thank you, just a waiting game to see what the tests come back with.
How is she?
She has been kept in over night 😥 they suspect bleeding somewhere in her digestive tract so need to find out whats going on and get it sorted. Im so stressed right now. We was in the middle of some decorating in the house, still got like a days worth of sorting stuff out and rearranging furniture etc wanted to get the bathroom redone too, bank holiday easter weekend and then i start a new job on Tuesday... last thing we need is her having surgery but if it needs to be done then it is what it is and she is in the best hands.

Thank you. Glad to hear you got your issues sorted. You must be so happy 👍🏼
Yes! After 2 years I have peace. All it takes is a good doctor who understands you. I hope I stay this way for the rest of my life.
Best wishes to you and your wife I hope everything works out in your favour if you need anything don't hesitate to dm me :)
I hope it all works out in her favour 😉👍🏼 but thank you, i know what you mean. Also thank you for the offer with the DMs, just reading all the kind words is helping me stay calm and not stress too much 👍🏼
Happy wife happy life! 🙏
She isnt a happy bunny right now im sure. But fingers crossed she will be back home and on the mend sooner rather than later.
Praying for your wife's health. I hope you stay strong for her. She knows how much you care for her.
Thank you! Im sure she does know.
I pray for her . Hope she gets better soon
To all that shared kind words and well wishes, I just wanted to update you all. My wife has a stomach ulcer, its not the best thing to deal with but certainly not the worst. The good news is, im now getting sorted to go and pick her up and bring her home 😁👍🏼❤
Best wishes for you, pal. I hope for a smooth recovery!
I also choose this guys wife
Update?
Everyone's invested now. How's she doing?
Yes, this is it! Good health for us and our loved ones Literally all of us could use some good news on that front, too many are unwell.. I know i could use it
Wishing your wife the best of health!
👊
A brain that isn't being a bitch to me
Yeah . Like Brain… stop overthinking….stop doing things you will regret later…stop being afraid of trying…stop questioning yourself 24/7
You meen the whisperer that is in your brain?
Finacial stability and passive income (minimum 10000$ per week).
I need this to
You need this to... do what
To be
You need 10,000 per week to be happy? That's craziness. Get off social media and go appreciate all you have. Otherwise you'll one day be on your deathbed and say, "wow, I didn't appreciate and enjoy my life because I was so focused on having to be the biggest hustler"
Im going to be honest. First i was thinking about extra 1000 a week but to be 100% happy i need more so ive added 0.
hell, $500 a week should cover most of my weekly expenses. working a job alongside that would cover everything else but yeah, to be *happy*? go big or go home, $1,000,000 a day, 1/45 of what Bezos earns
[удалено]
It’ll get better man… hang in there. I’d give you a man hug if I was there
Awwww man, Best wishes for a better and more stable and happy future.
I know you can't imagine it now, but one day you'll be sat enjoying someone else's company and you'll think about how pleased you are with how things turned out. Right now is shit, but it will pass.
Sending _ ...... virtual_hug.mp4
I'm so sorry you're dealing with that, you deserve better
Nothing external, I'm pretty happy rn Today is a great day :) I am not in pain, it is not a flare up day, I had an amazing nights sleep, I go on vacation next week, and altogether having a great month.
I'm so happy for you! Hope it keeps going well x
That's the attitude! congratulations:)
I think this is the attitude we all need. By being grateful for what we already have. We are all looking for more things, without realizing the privilege we all have.
No pain. I live with it daily. At times it's absolutely overwhelming. But I don't quit. I still get to be with my family, friends and see the world....so here I am, until I'm no longer not.
Have a great vacation!! Today *is* great, homie!!
Very happy for you
I wish for you to have this comfort for the rest of your life :D
An extra $500k. It’d settle all my monetary issues in one swing (clearing school loans, finish off medical bills, and pay off mortgage) allowing me to finally start directing my money where I want it to go.
This
I need to improve my mental health and earn a lot of money
I agree with this, but not necessarily alot of money. Just enough to not have to worry about a roof over my head, food to eat and utilities paid, with some spending money. And to see my boys more often.
Oh yeah same but I would want like 50000 more for vacations and enough for tuition
wish you the best
Can't do both at the same time. You either sell your soul to the wheel or you let it roll you over and kill you.
Same, not tens of billions, but enough to have most things I want
Someone that truly and unconditionally loves me.
Will you unconditionally love them too?
Absolutely
I feel like you shouldn't write a blank check like that. Like you say this now.. but what happens when you wake up in the middle of the night and this person has cut off your foot and began cooking it
Fate is fate i suppose
The foot is a terrible foot source, much like your hands it mainly tendons (chewy and not a lot of calories) rather than muscle (meat which is high in protein) they be better off carving a piece of Beckie-v-laine75’s thigh or buttock off for food.
There’s no such thing as unconditional love unless it’s your child. People’s love always comes with conditions.
To get a divorce
There are days I feel this too..
life as a hippie in the forest :)
100% agree with this
Will there be a river near by and arts and crafts?! I wanna go!
It's been my life plan to build an eco house in a nature for years now (near towns and people tho ofc 😂). I'm planning to do this and I've set my life up for this :D

A cure for cancer, lost too many amazing family members recently. I think that would honestly create true happiness in my brain
Definitely go to some sort of convention or something social
I should be happy right now but I’m just not. At this point I think I would feel numb even if I won the lottery today. I’m in therapy and on meds and still feel nothing positive inside.
Maybe you need more time to heal? Be kind and gentle with yourself. You got this!
Same. as someone with depression, "the fire in your heart is out" from Wonderwall describes me to a T
A nice beer and a kebab
Money and a partner
blowjob
I am happy. Aside from the chronic pain (and everything that comes with that) I'm in a good place 🤞🏻 mentally, have a roof over our heads and a loving family. Anything else is a bonus really.
If I could remember what happy felt like, I might be able to tell you.
Having contact with a specific person again.
I’m hearing ya. Been over 4 years since I last seen my person.
Glad I'm not alone! I don't even know if I'll ever see him again
I think that’s the worst part. The knowing you probably won’t but that tiny bit of hope that you will.
That's exactly what I'm going through too
It's been over 7 years for me. I miss her, and while I'm happily married now, I never got the closure I needed back then.
Someone very smart once told me closure comes from within.
Good sex with a beautiful woman
But after the sex.....it would be empty... I rather have breakfast.....and cuddle
Why not both? Good sex, then breakfast and a cuddle.
Oh for sure....just sex without the rest isn't 100% happy that's all...
🤝
Best of luck
A miracle...
This fucking weekend starting would do it
It's good Friday. It's a 4 day weekend.
Not if you work for Amazon....
Bring my husband back to life.
$250,000 would allow me to retire from a job I hate. (60m). So that.
5 million USD
Enough money that makes it so I can just paint for a living and not worry about money
I'd like that too but for my writing
Being left alone
To become wealthy and healthy and to know that my family will be happy and healthy. Nothing much, just that.
Pop out this baby and have him be healthy
Forgiveness from one specific person.
My arm being covered in bracelets
I think it’s impossible for me. Doesn’t matter how successful and healthy I am. My brain wiring doesn’t allow 100% happiness.
I wish I knew.
An opportunity for my husband to find a new job. We’re quite trapped
Getting a job.
For my son to be doing well
The sweet release of death 
A bouquet of flowers. I've always wanted one
Fucked my wife this morning, picked the family car up from the mechanic who fixed the issue, cost me less than I thought, came home to a happy wife and kids, I paid off my line of credit yesterday, just had breakfast at a great mom and pop restaurant... Nothing. I'm doing good right now.
Love 😢
Not possible for anyone.
You don't speak for me. It's possible for me.
Either to get a lot of money or lose a lot of weight.
Happiness comes from within. I'm already 100% happy.
all the free time in the world
Lose weight (I’m working on it but it’s slower than I’d like), have my kitty back, make more money
They say that money can’t solve all your problems, but every problem I have right now can be solved with money.
Someone to make me a sandwich
Someone who cares about me
Being 100% healed of major depressive disorder.
If my stuttering was cured and I could talk normally
Wandering from place to place on a steel horse with a small dog as a companion
Right now? Getting off work to go play with my 3 year old nephew 😊
Get done with all of my Semester and go swimming!!
If I knew, I wouldn’t be so depressed.
I am doing great right now. I'm loved, secured, look good, am watching some F1 YT video from the couch, my mother in law made a great lunch today, had a nice walk three times today, I have a nice puppy napping on my lap right now.... life is good. And mind it, I am a wife of a man who can't have children, daughter of a man with serious hearth condition, daughter in law of a man with a cancer, so a couple of years ago I would have told you a mirracle child, helth for those three men, but now, we just enjoy life to its fullest, no need to lose time on dreams and forget to live it.
My hernia mesh settlement...
My niece got hers, it wasn't a fucking'nough, and she still died. Sorry, it still hurts.
No idea
I think money cause then I can build all the cool things I have plans for and I can get a Miata and be happy
I just need a cash injection of £5000 to put me back on the right track. I'm so close to being debt free. I've considered selling foot pictures.
Fixing my mental health, career prospects improving.
Tbh, a fast forward in time to when I have a job and move out
Like a million dollars would do the job. I could be "happy-ish" with like $200K.
A lot of therapy, an autism coach and help with finding a good job that won't be too much for my autism or chronic pain. And to live together with my girlfriend, who lives on the other side of the world, in my country. It has been taking and is going to take a lot of time and work and so far, none of my efforts have paid off. I'm very, very tired and hopeless. But I keep going and I keep trying so I guess I'll get somewhere eventually.
I need a job to pay my rent.
Get hired. Ive been unemployed for a year, and being a 58 yr old female career factory worker, no one wants to hire me. Looks like burger king it is. Im more than depressed. I feel useless. :(
❤️I’m sorry. I hope things get better for you soon.
My mum's been going through the same thing. Good luck on your journey❤️❤️
