Short excerpt from a YouTube video ("Money Doesn't Buy Happiness?" by Omar Zenhom) containing a brief dialogue between two speakers. They argue that while some say money doesn't buy happiness, having financial security materially reduces stress and makes life easier; the speakers stress that experiencing poverty or being broke changes one’s perspective on money and well-being.
I hear people all the time say, money doesn't buy happiness. Once we're past this, it's all going to be okay, and then the next problem comes. But truly, once you don't have to worry about money so much anymore, everything is so much easier. Life is so much nicer. So when I hear people say that, I sometimes think like, have you tried being broke? It's no fun.
I cannot agree more. And I don't think anybody who's being honest with themselves, even billionaires that don't remember what it's like to be poor or has never been poor, can honestly say that.
