Meh. I grew up dirt poor, and I am now what past me would have considered successful.
Funny thing about it, though, I'm still me. I'm that same dirt poor teenager, just older. It didn't change me like I thought it would.
Absolutely, the lack of money will make you unhappy. Without a doubt. But I've never got a 20% raise and felt 20% happier. You're always gonna be who you are, money or not.
I've also heard that this advice really only scales until you hit the cost of living price for your area, which supports your idea.
Its not necessarily "money won't make you happier", it's more "poverty makes you sadder"
Yep. Once your basic needs are met and you're not in poverty, any happiness above that line has to come from within yourself.
This so much. I didn't grow up dirt poor, but also pretty low class. Now I live in the nice part of town and have a somewhat above average pay. Still miserable. Still the depressed loser I always have been. Just more money and a big house. Though, if I was just barely able to make ends meet, I'd be way more miserable.
The part that really sucks is you don't get to really understand this until you're in your 30s/40s. We spend all this time trying to fill a hole in ourselves that can't be filled with stuff.
There are people reading this right now who are like "yeah, right"...
Or it could be accomplishments or a relationship. Sometimes problems run deeper than outside stuff.
