Actually money don't buy you happiness, it is the relative comparison of money that buy you happiness.

If you made $200K annually, but your friends all made $400K annually, will you be happy?

If you made $100K annually, but your friends all made $50K annually, then will you be happier?

Sadly again, happiness and contentment here are all based on comparisons with others, and that is why most people will not be happy because there are always more people earning much more and better than you. Of course the new rich immigrants coming in is not helping at all, lol. Even $200K annual cannot fight to win COE with them. How to be happy?

Again, "Contentment is the key to happiness"

But why must compare leh? Their life is not yours.

We know who (some peoples wives) are the true elites.  

its also fair to say that peanuts or not is relative to the circle one is in.

I make much lesser, but I am very happy liao. By now if boss ask me to make more and push me to go up further. I may not be happy liao🤣

[Jamesc]

People that say money cannot buy happiness just don't know where to shop and where to eat and where to go holiday.

I love these Johnny jokes

 

Little Johnny went to his mother demanding a new bicycle.
His mother decided that he should take a look at himself and
the way he acts. She said, "Well Johnny, it isn't Christmas
and we don't have the money to just go out and buy you
anything you want. So why don't you write a letter to Jesus
and pray for one instead."

After his temper tantrum his mother sent him to his room. He
finally sat down to write a letter to Jesus.

Dear Jesus,

I've been a good boy this year and would appreciate a new
bicycle.

Your Friend,
Johnny

Now Johnny knew that Jesus really knew what kind of boy he
was (a brat), so he ripped up the letter and decided to give
it another try.

Dear Jesus,

I've been an OK boy this year and I want a new bicycle.

Yours truly,
Johnny

Well, Johnny knew this wasn't totally honest so he tore it
up and tried again.

Dear Jesus,

I've thought about being a good boy this year and can I have
a bicycle?

Johnny

Well Johnny looked deep down in his heart, which by the way
was what his mother really wanted. He knew he had been
terrible and was deserving of almost nothing. He crumpled up
the letter, threw it in the trash can and went running out of
the house. He aimlessly wandered about depressed
because of the way he treated his parents and really
considered his actions. He finally found himself in front of
a Catholic church. Johnny went
inside and knelt down, looking around, not knowing what he
should really do.

Johnny finally got up and began to walk out the door and was
looking at all the statues. All of a sudden he grabbed a
statue of the Virgin Mary and ran out the door.

He went home, hit the statue under his bed and wrote this
letter:

Jesus,

I've got your mama. If you ever want to see her again, give
me a bike.

You know who

Well said!  As per my post , $$ never enough.

 

contentment is key 

While it is true you will most likely feel $ is never enough and to be contented. There are some that struggle to ensure there is enough to see him through the days. 

This is more so in Singapore where everything is about money. No more Kampong liao
