Discussion would money make you happy?

[-nobodyknows-]

It might help in the short term, but in the long term…. No. I don't think so.

As a student in probably one of the least stable and lucrative majors, music composition, it would help a lot. The music industry seems so overcomplicated, overwhelming and just plain fucked, plus I have zero charisma, am socially awkward, distrusting and paranoid, don't play an instrument (I use digital midi and Vocaloid), and don't like using social media and promoting myself. Fuck, even my music business textbook keeps saying only people who give their 100000000% and have shittons of ambition can make it but I barely have ambition for even living........

Making music has been a really good hobby (and therapy) and even with no audience or just throwing it into the void of Youtube with no care to how I do, I would feel content, but I had savings that I lost for dumb reasons and my family's finances blew up so now I gotta engage with this heckin industry, wage slave until I die of overwork, or get cancelled/demonetized because all of my songs are about depression, anxiety, or suicide. Apparantly MVs and art are ridiculously expensive too.....

I like music so much that the thought of changing majors to something else makes me want to die even more too.....

not the money itself. but maybe the things it could fix would make me feel a bit better.

i would use any money i could get , like i do now , to get my suicide method more reliable and ready to go.

If i had a choice 1. 990 million dollars cash in my bank account but i can't kill myself i have to live to old age and let natural death kill me .

2. gauranteed painless instant Death / non-existence forever any time this week .

I would choose Death non-existence forever today. for many reasons. for one thing even with a lot of money i could get a stroke then be put in a nursing home and suffer unbearable pain demented for decades. but that can't happen if i don't exist.

so imo all these multi-milionaires and billionares are taking huge risks . they could be using their money to have a super reliable suicide method out of this hell but instead no they are living life not even thinking about an exit strategy.

it happened to the ceo of yahoo that was one of the biggest internet companies in the early 2000's Terry Semel. and before that was also rich. so definitely a multi-milionaire but could have had a billion $. but he ended up in a nursing home crying with alsheimers . his wife put him in a nursing home and his son was trying to get him out.

also i won't remember any of that supposed fleeting "enjoyment" with the money after i'm dead. we all are going to die.

 

[nunofyourbusiness]

let's say tomorrow you will become a millionaire, how many of your problems will be fixed? would you be happy for a long time? or just short ecstasy?

I would still CTB. I'd just enjoy life a little longer, and then kill myself. With a lot of money, the possibilities are infinite

 

[Forveleth]

My only goal with a ton of money would be to get myself to some exotic location and die there, instead of most likely in my basement. As death is my ultimate goal, I guess it would make me happy, so yes?

 

[woofwag]

Tbh yeah. I would still have my problems, as my trauma and disabilities won't go away with money, but I would be able to treat them so much more effectively and have the funds to buy myself good food, a gym membership, good housing, support my friends, all the fun little luxuries it would be fun to have, just so many things I lack now. Gods what I would give to not have to worry about rent….

 

[autumn68]

i think money would fix enough of it that i would stick around. being able to move wherever i want and spend more time with my girlfriend and pursue my interests would help me a lot i think

 

[leloyon]

No, not really. It would make my life significantly easier and better, sure, and it would probably alleviate my suffering considerably, but it doesn't completely undo my mental issues and I would still continue to suffer.

 

[-RedBirdOnASkull-]

I have already tried to spend lots of money to fix my health problems without success.
A million dollar could help to try everything and speed up the waiting lists issues, but at the end my problems will be still there, and unfortunately nothing can change this.

 

[nobody_oac]

It wouldn't make me happy, but it would free up so much time and energy that I might be able to pursue it. Doesn't even need to be millions. It could be just enough to meet my basic needs as a human and that would be enough. Give some of the rest to someone else, I'm sure there would be plenty left over.
