Totally agree with the title, life sucks big-time without money. It's been said that, 'life is like a shit sandwich, the more bread you got, the less shit you have to eat'.

I don’t know….There are a lot of unhappy, anxious, medicated kids and teens in the U.S. and a lot of happy, smiling, unmedicated kids and teens in countries like Nepal. How are they really measuring happiness?

Interesting. I keep hearing about the opioid/ fentanyl crisis in the US and the unprecedented amounts of anti depressants that are dished out each year .... guess I’m taking those stats with a grain of salt acknowledging it’s f’ing hard to measure such a thing.

Maybe money just gives the illusion of being happy. After all, people in those happy places also have the illusion of being free. Or is that delusion? Maybe it’s all the drugs that money can buy. Like the meme that says alcohol may not solve your problems, but neither will milk. I’m not happy because I’m not free. Money won’t fix that.

Maybe this is a urban myth, but don’t those Scandinavian countries have high suicide rates ?
