      • Not worrying about having a roof.
      • Not worried if they can afford to eat.
      • Not worried about their body being sick and seeing a doctor.

      The question is whether someone has “enough” money. Until you can live comfortably, more money DOES buy more happiness. Once someone can comfortably live and engage with interests, more money doesn’t buy more happiness.

      When someone says, “money doesn’t buy happiness.” what they’re actually saying is they have enough money and they do not understand how poverty works.
