Literally the only problems I have are because I don’t make enough money. If I made 20K more a year (which would take me from lower class to staunchly middle class) I could pay off my existing debts, get a mortgage and buy a house, go to grad school, and start saving for retirement. I wouldn’t be riddled with financial anxiety skipping meals and letting my health deteriorate because it’s easier to not miss work
It’s also completely untrue. Money does buy happiness, but only up to a certain point depending on the cost of living where you are.

Yeah, as another person said, you can’t buy happiness directly, but you sure can buy things that facilitate it!
