Money can't buy happiness, but if used appropriately it can certainly lubricate the gears of happiness.
Money buys options. You have to choose the right option to be happy
Money can’t buy happiness, but lack of money will cause stress.
Money buys options.
Absolutely. Financial indecency will give you the freedom to make choice, hence some happiness.
Great stuff yall. Never forget to remember the days when you prayed for what you have right now.
Yes and No, but yes because money buys freedom and flexibility. Things that suck in life, are easier when you have more money.
Sometimes the things that suck in life can be completely bypassed when you have money too. Other things that suck in life can be turned from a crisis to an inconvenience
hey guys, are you able to do a BTS behind the scenes either shorts, or a quick documentary on what ya'lls process and give some kudos to those behind the cameras too? i would love to see that!
We would too- these guys run from pictures or any videos of them. If it was up to me - we would have a camera and mic on the production crew too 🤷♂️
We do have a plan to share more BTS pictures though 👍
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a nice yacht to be unhappy on.
Thank you for this video! It helps me see I am content and fulfilled in some areas of my life while still wanting to improve in other areas. It is complex and differant for every person.
33 hours before start, answer is indirectly YES
I've been listening to your show for years and love it. But one critique, if you don't mind. While listening, I often wonder: "Is this show just for rich people?" The examples always seem to about buying big houses, fancy cars, boats, and so on -- advice for affluent people. But many millions of people are just struggling to pay rent on their apartments, afford groceries, and somehow still pay the bills. I'm doing all right now, but when I was struggling, any house or car were out of the question -- it was rent an apartment and take the bus. I'd love to see episodes with advice for "normal people" too.
Their show is for "financial mutants" - people who live within their means, plan for the future, and, frequently, aspire to/have high income.
There is lots of content out there to help with budgeting and low income. Budget Mom, old episodes of Budget Girl, and the Ramsey Show are good (and entertaining!) starting points. The Money Guy is the next step.
Please can the comedic duo of Brian and Bo release a hit single that promotes Deferred Gratification to compete with these other songs, I didn’t know I needed Brian to rap until I heard this episode.
I love you guys, great show, God Bless.
Money doesnt buy happiness but it is a prerequisite for happiness
Good content. You can't say enough about the value of developing real skills and abilities. Being good at something really does generate a kind of intrinsic satisfaction and fulfillment, but it is also what the world around you notices and responds to positively.
People may experience some jealousy or envy of you when you buy some super nice thing, but they don't admire you or respect you very much for it. Some will even look down on you for it. Having a skill on the other hand is nearly universally admired and it attracts people to you for the right reasons.
The example I give is with musical instruments. Anyone with money can go buy a $2,000 super high end guitar, and you may get some ooh's and ah's when you show people your beautiful guitar but in the end, no one cares. It's a shiny piece of wood. Being able to play the guitar on the other hand, is what people respond to. Even if it's a budget model $200 guitar, if you can play it well then will people will admire and respect you when you share that skill with them and create music. Someone with a $2,000 guitar they can hardly play on the other hand will be treated as a fool. It is the same with all possessions, in the end no one cares about what you bought, especially your peers with a comparable financial situation. They could buy the same thing if they wanted to. They care about what you can actually do.
So well said 👍
While it's true that the absence of illness isn't health, likewise the abundance of money isn't happiness, there needs to be purpose tied to your money habits in my opinion, purpose has gotten me through truly hellish experiences
@themoneyguyshow Brian, would appreciate a show devoted to financial resources/tools/options for those families caring for and have special needs children. Are you able to have an able and 529 for that child, is there any benefit to having both or does able always Trump the 529, etc. What can able be used for and when...
Thanks and God Bless.
"Having money isn't everything. Not having it is."
Personally, I've found that buying nice clothes does provide me happiness.. but other things I have experienced the 'fleeting' happiness that soon becomes nothing..
OMG Mr.Brian Preston knows "Shots" by LMFAO. WOOOOOO!!!!
Hey Guys! Great episode, one of my favorites ones yet!
I am so happy you talked about the "why" more indepth and into philosophy, and even went greek with eudaimonic.
I know you struggled with saying that word. I am not fond of how you guys make it sound like demonic haha.
I would pronounce it as Eu-Day-Moe-Nic. You can even say it more slowly to sound more sophisticated lol.
But you are totally right in saying that America views happiness as hedonic pleasures and theyre just going through a hedonic threadmill, which I blame adviertising on.
We all get used to things and get back to our baseline happiness.
As you said, real happiness is fullfilmen aka contentment in life aka life satisfaction.
Try to find what gives you fulfilment and life satisfaction. I dont know about Bo, but I think for Brian it is this podcast lol
@8:06 - They could have referenced that song, too. The lyrics really aren't about consumption per se, though.
Love this
You guys should start a cover band!
Well I just got a 2.5% raise, take that inflation and happiness.
....But I still haven't found what I'm looking for -U2
Insatiable want is a contagious bug!
Money is a tool that, consciously or unconsciously, exaggerates a person’s true character.
When does the book come out? Can I pre-order a hard cover? Can I come get it signed? Will it be on audio book with your narration?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Jarrett- I love the enthusiasm- once publishers showed interest (was originally going to self publish) the timeline has extended greatly 😔- no one shares this info with the public but bookstores typically buy 9 months out on new releases so from a logistical standpoint there are a ton of moving parts. If I had to do it all over- I would have slowed my roll on sharing that I wrote a book- this is the same reason I’m the worlds worst gift giver- when I’m excited I want folks to know 🤷♂️- thank you for being willing to buy once it drops- I will need you and everyone you know to buy too so I can make the waves I’m hoping for 🙏
Money can buy happiness if it’s spent to get rid of a bad spouse.
"Money can't buy happiness, but it's funny--
"Have you ever tried to buy it without money?"
-- Ogden Nash
But it can rent it on occasion, cruise ships are fun & less gray hair
Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can site buy you everything else 🤣🤣
It can't buy love either.
Money buys safety, opportunities, freedom and everything else...easy for people with money to say 'money won't make you happy' while they are smoking a 10k cigar on their million dollar yacht on a Tuesday and their tank of gas is the cost of my student loans....while I'm stuck working 9-5 hoping I can put food in my fridge this week due to inflation....I would be much happier with the former. I get the concept but this ALWAYS makes me roll my eyes. Absolutely love you guys but this concept is infuriating.
What you describe is covered in our 5 Levels of Wealth = th-cam.com/video/RuyV24AKUFY/w-d-xo.html
Happiness from covering the basics is different from the fulfillment of feeling like you have purpose 👍
Well if anyone was to know im sure its them.
"Money can't buy happiness but I never seen anyone frown on a jet ski" Daniel Tosh
Money doesn't buy happiness, money buys choices. The choices you make, in large part, detrmine your happiness.
I agree with you completely.
Brian and Bo, thank you! I get so much value from your content, and it has changed my financial future. I appreciate the both of you!
Eudaimonic happiness is when you can look at your life and think U Da Mon
It can buy happiness, but it can't fix stupid.
So grateful for this content that you share … for free ! Thank you very much 🙌
Money can't buy happiness but it sure causes Bo to be EXCITED!
There's a song from leroyce called benz about how money doesn't bring happiness
Money doesn’t provide everything you want in life
I think most people follow a line from Weird Al's 'This is the Life' - >So if money can't buy happiness
I guess I'll have to rent it
This is awesome! Such a good perspective. Definitely have thought this but didn't know how it put it in words
YES!!! 🤑
time of our lives is such a banger
I love your show…. But the bmw… 7 years in to my certified pre-owned 5 series and every single time I drive it, I like it more! And I’m very grateful to have it paid off 🙏👍ps… I do my own maintenance 😉
Pss…. The message of your show is important and something I needed too
Yes, once you hit the point where your pay check pays the bills and puts money into savings accounts. You'll be happy
More that you won't be stressed by pending debt/bankruptcy. Not being stressed is not the same as being happy.
Being stressed makes happiness more difficult, but it isn't the opposite.
You'll be happIER.
Money can top out your maslow’s hierarchy but anything past your fulfillment is excess and you are chasing nothing!!
Money can’t BUY happiness.
It can only RENT happiness.
All you really did was describe the sypmtoms (e.g. dopamine need, sugar rush, etc). Unhappiness is due to discontentment. Proper Brain "physiology" as you say is due to proper neurotransmitter functioning. The more balance of Dopamine, serotonin and other monoamine neurotransmitters the happier biologically you will be . Most unhappy people have neuro inflammation or lower levels of neuro transmitters. So if you want biological contentment (i.e. happiness) eat an anti-inflammatory diet and take high quality fish oil and ..... take polyphenols to activate AMPK...clear out all the dead cells and heal tissue. All measurable in blood.
100% money buys happiness. Temporary happiness. Happiness is a temporary feeling
32:45 Really touched my heart 💓. I always try to learn a new skill even though I know it won't change my career but I love doing this.
Read “The Happiness Hypothesis.”
Who else agrees with: it's better to cry in a Rolls Royce than to be happy on a bicycle.
I've done both. I'll take the happy bike any day.
I'll take the bike.
I’ve got a pretty nice bike though.
I think privileged people don’t realize that yes having secure housing, not living pay check to pay check and affording healthcare can in fact contribute to happiness…like you said. You work with successful families. It’s a very narrow scope of what Americans are going through right now. This episode really seems to showcase the homogenous experience of those producing the show
I see what you mean, but having seen them tackle this concept before, I think they get it from your perspective too.
They talk about how higher incomes have a tangible effect on happiness up to around 70K or 80K because that’s what meets your needs and reduces financial worries.
Their point is that the jump from 70K to 140K wont increase happiness like the jump from 0 to 70K did. So once your basic needs are met, you should think about broader fulfillment.
Lex we both come from humble beginnings- if you know Bo’s origin story there is not much lower to reach bottom. I hope we can inspire you to join us on the journey and mindset to build wealth 👍
Money does buy happiness. I dont care what anyone says. You have no money you are unhappy pretty much 100% of the time because it's always on your mind.
Why are so many rich people miserable? How many suicides and drug addicts in the Kennedy family? They're all rich, they must be happy.
not having money can make people sad but having money doesn't always make people happy.
1000% money can buy happiness. If money can't buy you happiness, nothing will.
Exactly! give me $20K to take my family on a luxury vacation and we'll be pretty happy.
Nope. Money can buy opportunities for happiness. It can't buy it directly.
If you like to host friends, money can buy the party supplies...but not the friends.
Money can buy lots of friends. Quit playing
@@maohong9778 not friends worth having.
@@maohong9778 Lots of friends is not a guarantee of happiness though.
This was a great show. I’ve been really interested in topics like this since reading “The Psychology of Money”.
