      Not to mention the swaths of expensive chemicals and activities that money can buy which objectively bring happiness. Heck just affording mental health counseling on a whim would be a major point.

      Exactly. It can’t buy happiness, but it certainly can alleviate a LOT of misery.

    Read in semi-serious voice:

    “Money can’t buy happiness” is capitalist propaganda. Money can and does buy happiness but this line is supposed to make the rubes less jealous of their exploiters as to minimize the rube-pitchfork association.

    Not worrying about normal bills, being able to have some savings for if some home appliance breaks, being able to go grovery shopping without having to look at the price…

    Thats my financial goal in life
