things money buys you, if not happiness:

aura218:

  • freedom False. you work 5 days a week for 2 days of freedom. all whilst filling up someone elses pockets much more than yours.
  • options False. you believe you have options. “what new gadget should I buy” and get encouraged to get loans to pay for things you cant really afford. You wind up having less options because you are tied to paying off your debt (links closely with freedom)
  • health False. you rely on money to pay for your healthcare, when realisticly its the reason your sick in the first place. Poor diet, stressful job, no hapiness, lack of exercise and fresh air.
  • transportation False. cycling/walking burns fat and is good for the environment, all other forms of transport burn fossil fuels and are bad for you.
  • protection False. you only need protection from your own wealth, this is what creates that fear and insecurity. Most problems occur in society from divides between Rich and Poor.
  • social mobility False. If you break free from the capitalist mentality and start living for your own happiness rather than gaining wealth and possesions. You will progress through life in a more positive way.
  • education False. Money doesnt buy education, you will learn more by following your passions than you ever could sitting through school or university and you dont have to pay for those experiences.
  • time False. Money doesn’t buy you time, infact it does the opposite. Sitting in a boring job just to pay the bills is not the way to live. Your life will dissapear in front of your own eyes and suddenly your retiring on a pension with the same company that you’ve worked for your entire life. That’s not living

I dont know the intention of the original post, but it caught my eye.

I thought I would put my own interpretation onto it (not trying to diss anyones views) - I have written these responses from my own experiences over the last 2 years.
