“‘Money doesn’t buy happiness.’ Do you live in America?..because it buys a WaveRunner. You ever see a sad person on a WaveRunner?” -Daniel Tosh
Usually it’s miserable rich people who say this, and they’re miserable because they don’t have a soul.

“Money can’t buy happiness” is a great mantra for rejecting the capitalist enshirining of wealth as a virtue. It’s important to see happiness as something more complex than income.
The issue is that when interpreted as “poverty is no excuse for unhappiness”, it loses all valid meaning.
