“money can’t buy you happiness” is some legit propaganda aimed at keeping poor people in their place and preventing upward mobility under the guise that to do so requires a breach of ethics 

^ THIS. I’ve thought about this a lot. Actually, money CAN buy some happiness and relief. With that much money, I can buy a house in my dream city and soak myself in the great local arts scene and be part of a vibrant community. With that much money, I can produce my own films, plays, and I can even finance other artists’ works. With that much money, I could help build foundations and organizations for deaf people, for Muslim women, to promote South Asian cultures, for social revolutionary causes. If I was really rich, I could travel the world, write, meet people, and never have to worry about finding a job or worrying about how I’ll have a steady income. I WANT to be rich, and I dream of being rich. I WANT A LOT OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!! YES, money can buy happiness in some way or another. Don’t let any dumb fools tell you differently.

So on point, and expressed far better than my post on the topic.
