Either way, it doesn't really make sense to say 'money can't buy happiness'. Because happiness (is a warm gun) ... no, happiness and all it encompasses is readily available for free, relatively speaking.
I can't quite wrap my head around why it's such a common thing to say because it doesn't make any sense to me. I mean, I get it, but I don't.
When you don't have money your thoughts are focused on what you need and to make sure you are meeting those needs for yourself and/or family. When you have money you have freed up your mind as well. Most of the time the thoughts of everyday. Needs and responsibilities are a vacation. When They are gone you have more time to think about everything then think some more. Without the distraction you focus on why you are or aren't happy then analyze over and over.
