Venting Money doesn't make me happy.

[EndlessRage]

I'm well aware a lot of people here want to kill themselves because of financial problems.

I eat nice food that doesn't taste like shit, i dress in nice clothes, i can buy the best phone, having a roof over my head.

It doesn't make anything better for me, it means nothing. This doesn't mean that I'm ungrateful but superficial things haven't brought me any happiness, they're just temporary copes.
If you had a terrible childhood, bad parents, faced bullying in school, rape. Money wouldn't be worth anything because the things i mentioned, you can't buy them, you can't buy emotions, you
can't buy good memories.

Having Benjamin Franklin in your pocket won't fix your trauma. The currency just keeps me alive, allows me to cope. It has no real value,
Everyday i wish i was born broke, but at least happy.

Before i kill myself, i would donate all my money to charity or to a cause that helps people like me.

There's been studies that once people have enough money to meet their basic needs, more money does not equate to more happiness. Having human loving connections through family and or friends is also vital for happiness. All humans experience some degree of trauma. Some are able to cope, work through it, become resilient and thrive. For others it completely destroys them.

Damn, you're on point. There's also hedonic adaptation that contributes to the whole thing, I believe

I agree, I have found that health is the most important thing of all, much more important than money.

Yeah once you have the basic needs met it's diminishing returns afterwards. If you've been seriously damaged or don't have proper emotional bonds with the other humans you will still need to ctb.

Money is a tool that can create happiness if used properly. There are a lot of things money can't fix unfortunately. Also what field do you work in?

Well, I always said money can't buy you happiness. But it buys everything else.

it's an absolutely necessary thing . Yeah, it can definitely not make you happier, but it can keep you from being much worse off.

Quite true. Many rich people are bored by everything. Nothing excites them anymore since they take everything for granted. Also, they don't have any financial goals to motivate them or work forward to. For most human beings, such goals are the majority of the reason they're alive.

I would like to offer my services and can dispose of any unwanted money people may have to help them live a fuller and richer life.....

Don't judge me, a 6oz can of tobacco is $1500 where I'm at right now....

In all seriousness, I've met a few people who have felt the same way as the OP. I feel bad for them because as someone who never really had money, it made me feel like it was one more avenue of possible happiness shut down.
