30 seconds Depends on the person. If your passion is singing, money won’t really help you become a better singer. It might pay for the best vocal coach, but it won’t help you enjoy singing anymore. If your passion is running, then money won’t help you much either. Enjoyment comes from doing things you enjoy. Some people might enjoy things that require a lot of money to do but I think those people are few and far between.
No it doesn't. Maybe for this construct of happyness we have in society to keep people in the system but True happyness can only be achieved from inside one's self.
30 seconds I don’t think any of those things offer the purest form of happiness - doing what you are passionate about is the greatest form of happiness.
Lola Arcana It’s relative to the people around them and the country they live in. People in poverty in the UK of course have it better than people in poverty in Nigeria or Malawi or India for instance. But I genuinely think that even the poorest people find great happiness. We should still always try and solve world poverty and really the only way of doing that is overthrowing the rich.
Hugo smith that’s what a poor man thinks. Capitalism won inside you. At the end of the day you’d value your own feelings as less important than money. Thats truly tragic
nemobla1 I wouldn’t call Kanye a moron, sure he’s had his fair share of controversial things he’s been apart of or said, but artistically that man is a genius.
Wages increasing is because of inflation. The cost of living has increased so really the wages have remained stagnant not increased. I could be wrong but that's as I understand it.
CoFerrns Nah definitely not. A more socialist world ideally - I understand that a truly socialist world is not possible I’d definitely prefer a more socialist stance than the one we have now. However it’s highly improbable as capitalism has admittedly done well in convincing people that it is the only viable option.
TomCL 2000 socialism is very similar to communism. With capitalism everyone has the chance to start a business and become successful. With socialism, people are put off of making a business and making money due to exorbitantly high taxes
This is the stupidest arguement of all time. True happiness can never be bought, of course, like the love of your life or your favourite passion, but that’s probably 10%, when 90% of people’s problems and stress are living pay cheque to pay cheque, worrying about bills and their job security, not having time for their loved ones or passions. It makes your life immensely better, and people gotta stop acting like it doesn’t. Imagine you still had your personal stresses, like family life and stuff, but had the weight of all monetary things in life lifted off your shoulders, that clearly sounds like a happier life for anyone.
Kylirr and yet the young man defended his point that money cannot buy you happiness when he’s been afforded the luxury of going to school and more than likely having assistance from both parents to house him and pay for his tuitions. He doesn’t strike me as, nor does he mention growing up in poverty. The boy didn’t come from Liverpool. The older gentleman made a good point that if life was a 100 meter dash, they’d both be starting at the 25-50 meter mark. That being said I’m not sure how uni works in the UK, so if it’s like hospital bills then damn I was born in the wrong country.
@@tomw6947 Not necessarily, you might say it's a very capitalist thing to say. No matter what ideology, it's a nice and slick joke and that's the point.
@@tomw6947 and a capitalist would want to save money. You could think of any person following any ideology that could have a reason to want the other person to pay. Money is nothing but a tool, a resource...so, something that you could use, why give away something needlessly.
@@daddyleon yep, that's why capitalism is the most realistic because everybody wants to be rich. I was just point out the union bloke clearly supported strict socialism or commisium out of bitterness. I do understand his point about big companies holding governments to ransom but that's because the government is corrupt itself.
I've said this my whole adult life while I struggled to middle class.... People who say money can't buy happiness either didn't grow up poor or have zero imagination.
And by having a more manageable and less stressful life, you increase your happiness, so that contradicts your statement that money doesn't buy happiness.
@@nyawk6387 No, it doesn't. Financial stress is only one aspect, it can possibly mean that you're now dealing with a lot of stress because you got so much on the line, and you're having trouble with your relationships, and you're lonely because those who surround you aren't really your friends... money isn't everything even in this current corrupt system that tells you otherwise. Also less stress doesn't immediately mean more happiness, maybe just less misery (while still being stressed, just less so).
@john boss So move, the dollar wont make you happy and is hard to achieve. Happiness is a choice and has nothing to do with money. You have the ability to change your finances, if its to expensive where you live move, take the savings and reinvest in your self.
@@johannsonq9092 Happiness and loneliness are choices, you chose the people you surround yourself with. I quit my job because I wasnt happy, I have no income right now and living on saving, I reinvested money in to learning new skills, started a business and eliminated, alcohol, weed, and peoples who dont have the same motivation for success as I do. Isolation is a key step because you learn that you can be happy alone. Once you achieved these steps live become far more clear, less stress, less negativity and thing will fall into place with the proper mindset and work ethic.
I was homeless for about 2 years once. The feeling of when you manage to buy something new or just eat something diferent was just so amazing it was just indiscribable. I would tend to say just the right amount of poverty makes you happy just based of how much more you apriciate everything around you. But if you're too poor to the point of where you can't survive is obviously not going to be fun at all but my point still stands. When you have a stable amount of money you don't really care about anything anymore, Everything is feels the same from buying a sandwich to buying a TV. Being rich grants you numbness. Being poor grants you the ability to care
That has some true to it, but that idea can also be used to promote that "poverty needs to exist" and it really does, to a certain degree, but there can be problems with it. Even if lacking as much freedom of choice (materially speaking) as a rich person, poverty needs to be constantly seen as something non-ideal. Now, there are issues with the "numbess" of being rich, completely irresponsible, etc, etc. We can see that with video-game addictions, extremisms, depression and other forms to "feel" something when you don't have as much challenge and/or incentive. Putting it short, I believe a better argument, one to avoid such issues, would be something like: poverty gives you a more intense feeling with each new thing or experience, and even if being rich takes away much of that intensity, instead of "glamourizing" poverty we should learn how to think in a way that things still are meaningful when easy to achieve or buy, ways to find healthy essences or meanings to life, activities, experiences or even objects.
I grew up poor and almost homeless and ive always been raised on the idea that we should value everything we get and be grateful for what we have we cared more about each other than about how much money we had

Agreed. It's a neolibreral fiction. But you know, when you get rich in the backs of labor and supported by government, you've got to tell yourself something so that you don't see yourself as a modern day slaver
Trickle down is just how free markets work. All capital comes from the top, you idiots just think the government should be our "slaver" and you have the nerve to insult a millionaires intelligence 😂
@@notkevindurant8814 Firstly, just because people have a different view to your own doesn't mean that they are idiots. Personally, I'm not questioning the intelligence of a millionaire. I'm questioning his claim that trickle down theory works. On your claim that "trickle down is just how free markets work", this is just an unsupported assertion and the reality is that all markets have governments and therefore are not "free". It follows, therefore, that even if trickle down is how free markets work, given that this is just a theoretical concept, it doesn't mean that this is how real world economies work. So regardless of how you think money should or does flow, or what you think government should do, or what you think of millionaires, studies do not support your assertion. This is easily confirmed with a quick google search. Add politics in the mix, as one does with neoliberalism, then it's easy to imagine a situation in which the rich, using the influence that comes with having lots of money, design tax systems which favour themselves and not society. As indeed they do. Again, there's lots of literature on this.
@@notkevindurant8814 And you haven't the intelligence to recognize that money is not its equal. Money is a representation of value, and value is mainly created at the bottom of the proverbial totem pole. Capital is value. So no it does not come from the top. I would rather have at least some minor control over my "slaver". The government is therefore a better "slaver" than a private company to the vast majority of people.
Yeah, the older guy doesn't realise that working really hard in the wrong area/ in the wrong direction obviously won't yield more money, and vice versa. Very easy to understand
@@tuttosalve8352 the statement was 'working hard' not 'working hard in the right direction', the man is not stupid and he answered the question correctly. It is certainly true that working hard does not always lead to success, even if in the right direction. Imagine two students studying for a test, one has a great memory and the other does not. They both study the same materials for an hour. The student with the good memory does better on the test than the student with the bad memory. This is a simple experiment that demonstrates my point. If you propagate that over many years the same idea leads to different levels of income and thus wealth. There is a correlation between iq and yearly income, iq is an immutable characteristic.
It's more of a mindset issue. Yes people work hard, but the most successful analyze if what they are doing is working or not and adapt their strategy accordingly.
These videos are getting me through quarantine this is an amazing series. Joins a common social behavior, like drinking, and allows two people from opposite sides of a spectrum to come together. Love this.
@Luke Monsensey I'm not saying it happens often. I said what I said because I get £9.30 per hour. And a work colleague outright admits he gets £9.70. same job, same level, he started after me. I even have more experience in retail overall. But he is good friends with the manager 🤷
@Luke Monsensey Since this response is 7 months since the issue. There has been attempts made to increase my pay. My colleague no longer admits to being paid more. Since my manager had pulled him into the office after I brought up the issue. He never showed me his payslip, so according to them. I technically have no evidence to support my "claim" as they call it. Hardly able to have a "negotiation" when it stated £9.30 was the max pay on the job description. Haven't been working most of these months due to covid. Will just look elsewhere for work. Appreciate the response tho.

Saw a study that claimed that money makes you happy up until a certain point. Then it becomes just a number that you chase and want to increase (greed?) which can lead to misery
@@luke-st2sn My claim comes with experience. Whilst not being a millionaire myself, I'm surrounded by them most days due to my line of work. There isn't a human being alive that would care less about perceived appearance than someone so insanely wealthy. Bill Gates, for example, makes more money and is much older than the young man in this video yet he dresses very simply. It's not dependant on age at all.
I got clinically depression and i got 300K $ net worth, but im not happy, „friends“ just left me and they were jealous, i was allone and thats the worst feeling you can get.. Money is changing you and the people arround you. Money does not make you feel happy, maybe it makes you happy for about 6 days when you buy a new nice car or something like that.
Might have something to do with the fact that the trade unionist works with those figures. The Millionaire can only speak from what he sees, and what he sees is that he's helping people by doing well, like the trade unionist said.
Do you know how complex things are? Facts and Figures show and say close to nothing if you are having a short talk like this. Because they need to be compared to and on several areas. To get valid information out of them.
@@anthonysmith6413 The format definitely doesn't aid an in depth conversation, but the fact remains, the idea that the richest shouldn't be taxed more because it stifles innovation is a fallacy. Anti-union laws have lead to a stagnation of real wage growth, and most of the wealth created in the last 10 years has gone to the highest 10% of earners. The drivers of inequality are varied, and I think the trade unionist understands that. The millionaire seems to be insulated in a world that hasn't been at the blunt end of those trends.

Jongerz not really tbh the problem is your content with what you have. Like most of society they don’t have drive and don’t want to do anything about it. Entrepreneurs are hungry and want more and want to succeed. However if you start getting hungry and want more then do something about it. It’s actually rather easy to make money. I left my first job after my degree and opened a business and haven’t looked back since.
@@stuartjones2681 There's nothing wrong with being content. idc if I'm ever particularly rich so long as I've got family, friends, and the internet (Yes I am unironically adding the internet to this list. Memes are love. Memes are life.) There's nothing wrong with having that ambition either though! The problem starts, I think in two places. On one end of the spectrum, the people who want more, but expect it to be given to them because it's somehow owed to them rather than work for it. On the other, those who's ambitions or greed outreach their morals, to the point where they're willing to fuck over other people to fill their own pocket. ...I guess this isn't really relevant but it's what you got me thinking about so there ya go.
"I never got into business for the money..." "Money can't buy you happiness, but I think it can get you the opportunity, and I want as much of it as I can." Paraphrasing, but bruh...
How is that fair tho? Just bc they have more money doesn’t mean they should have to give up more of it. Certain job roles can lead to higher paying roles, and just because the minority are in that role.. doesn’t mean they should have to pay more
@@LukeSnelgrove making the poor more poor isn’t fair either. So I’m saying if someone has to be, if you had to pick one or the other. The group that can afford it makes more sense.
@@travis6694 yes but that doesn’t make sense. Everyone should pay the same. People know getting into job roles what the pay will be like and how quickly they can climb a ladder to earn more money in a better position.

@@LukeSnelgrove If someone can afford to give more in taxes than it's not unfair to make sure that they do. Higher taxation of the richer people isn't going to make them not rich anymore. If a guy who works at McDonald's has to give 15% of his income, than a millionaire should have to give their 15% too. To say that rich people paying more in taxes is unfair, is itself unfair to the poorer classes
@@cruc1fye idk if you’re taking what I said the wrong way or if I worded it poorly myself. I do agree , for example EVERYONE should pay 15% of their PERSONAL income as tax, however the people saying richer people should compensate even more ‘just because they can’ is unfair and not right..
Martin Castro Lil Pump gonna be broke in about ten years though to be fair. He isn’t smart enough to keep his money unless he has the right people around him. He ain’t been big since 2018 properly.
People often misconceive of the proverb ‘Money cannot buy happiness.’ True happiness does not come from an insatiable longing for materialistic and financial gain, it is only felt from within, the well-intentioned appreciation of life’s uttermost experiences.
Having money is temporary until you get bored so why not make the best of it same with having no money, you are happy until you met your rent and bill. So choose Being happy for 40 years until you get bored Or Being happy for 1 month

@@harveyholmes9533 how is it required? It is the order of life. If you worth something, you find a thing you're good at and become demanded in it. Money is just a part of human relations, so you won't be starving if you're needed by others (in western society at least). If you're not, why should your well-being be the problem of succesfull people? Its unnatural and wrong to encourage parasitism. Of course I'm not talking about disabled, elderly and other people who aren't capable of providing for themselves.
You have to work like hell on the correct things. Having a lot of money makes it easier to not have to work a terrible job and instead focus on medical school or software interviews or a business
I guess one way to look at it is money can't buy happiness but it can reduce a lot of things or factors that may make u sad so eventually they make u happy
The rich guy who thinks that all millionaires work harder should spend time in a Bangladeshi or Filipino factory and see the conditions of employees. The super rich use that line to vindicate themselves looking down on the poor and it is repugnant
Centrist Philosopher Anyone with a brain knows that 99% of the rich attain their money without working harder than the average person. A smaller majority of the rich are simply rich by name and by connections. The system is designed to make the rich richer at the extent of everyone else. People fear socialism too much despite it never truly being attempted - at least in Britain - and capitalism self-preserves by convincing the people it is designed to keep down that they will one day be successful. The only way out of this is a revolution but again, that word alone scares people. Capitalism will kill all of us and everyone but no one seems to realise it.
If you are smart with your investments, education and your skill development, most people can make the money work for them, this is called passive income. Take something as simple as writing a book about a topic that interests you; you put the work in, you invest in marketing and publishing, you take the financial risk, and if it pays off, your book will bring you passive income over a long period of time which, providing it's a good selling book, will generate a large amount of revenue over time. Large corporations like Nike exploit these southeast Asian sweatshops and less economically well-off people (this is nothing new). However, I know a vast amount of entrepreneurs, business founders and CEO's who are doing fantastic work, adhering to regulations and providing thousands of opportunities and high quality working environments to all of their employees. Simply bringing an argument about the exploitation of workers in third world countries and applying it to anyone with a high professional title is frankly ignorant and you should learn to appreciate just how much risk is involved in starting a business and how hard these sorts of people have to work. More often than not, the super rich, that is to say, entrepreneurs and successful business founders, are super rich because they have earned that money and have been very smart with their investments and passive income and they have worked seriously bloody hard. Their success is all you see, you do not see the financial risk, endless 80 hour weeks and failures they have had to endure over years.
Lewis Goodall I cannot put into words how much of what you said was complete nonsense. Capitalism’s ability to preserve its own existence never ceases to amaze me - it actually convinces people that anyone will achieve success if they “work hard enough” and people are rich because they “earned it”. Good lord.
TomCL 2000 By saying this you are undermining and insulting not only me but every single person who has ever become successful through hard work. You will go through your life not appreciating people’s hard work and success. You are unbelievably ignorant, your theory of capitalism is just plucked from a few cases and you have applied it to ‘everyone’. You have no respect for the people that take the risk. If you work hard, make smart decisions and who knows, maybe spend less time insulting these people, you may see just how hard they work to provide people with opportunities, value and so much more. Before you insult and undermine us, perhaps take the risks and put in the 80 hours a week and then insult me.
TomCL 2000 I would love for you to meet the entrepreneurs and business founders I work with. They would really enjoy having a discussion with you on this matter

When I was in the Army I had the chance to see how the very poor lived in other countries and I can tell you that almost all of those people with very little food, clothing, or housing were some of the happiest people I've ever seen. It's one of those things where they never had those things so they learned to live without it and don't know what they are missing and can be very happy without those things, so no you don't need money to be happy what all of these people had that most of modern society no longer has is close communities that would do anything for each other and that's what made them happy. Ironically that's why I was so happy in the Army too, the close bond I had with my company and squad made me want to come to work everyday.
ShmayToday- But that is in the context of developing countries where most people are poor. In a developed country being poor causes enormous unhappiness and social alienation. In the Army your salary may not have been great but you still had a salary. If someone is homeless or constantly worried about money that will impact their life no matter what way it is glossed over.
@@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 Yeah for sure, it depends on the context of where you're living and I agree with you.

@@rens7522 i bet you a engineer at space x would probably know more about engineering than elon musk. The CEO is practically a manager and they should get paid their dues but shouldn't the workers as well?. Right now many at the bottom are mistreated, the best way to solve that would be tax increases, and they don't even have to be that major. Hell we could tax Jeff bezos half of his wealth and he would still be a multi billionaire. He would still have more than he could ever spend alone.
Depends who you ask from. For someone who has been poor for a long time, being able to have new intresting hobbies and being able to go out to eat often, that little chunk of money can mean a world to him/her. Wealthy people in other hand often seek happiness from achievements, family and friends and such. In the end of day, material wont keep anyone happy forever. Everyone needs something intresting and unexpected in life.
Money can help achieve that but ultimately happiness cannot be bought. There are people who have live their lives with nothing but are richer than the richest man on earth.

Centrist Philosopher If someone pays their workers fairly, pays all of their taxes and donates on top of that - depending on what they make - then I am fine with them being rich after that. The issue is that a tiny group of people have more money than the rest of the world combined and rarely do any of those things.
Funny thing is though if the so called 1% are taxed to death most of these companies they own are going to have to be shut down which means less work and less stores. Pretty sure this was shown during communist Russia where people blamed the farmers for being rich and having food which later ended up with people putting blame for their misery on the 1%/the farmers which is even shown in this day and age. And what later happened is that millions of people died from starvation in Ukraine and Russia. You might not like some people being rich but I don't think you wanna see the consequences that happens if they loose their money.
_doffe Completely different times and systems. I never said I wanted a socialist state. I want a system whereby people *cannot* avoid tax and if they don’t cough up enough of their enormous fortunes ( no one in the world needs more than 50 million if you ask me ) then we take it from them. Human nature isn’t dog eat dog, but capitalism tells people that it is - or the people that benefit the most from capitalism do. FYI - the 1% are not remotely taxed enough. Every last one of them avoids tax in some manner despite having more money than anyone could ever possibly need. The narrative that socialism punishes anyone else other than the elite is literally fear mongering spread by - guess who - the elite who control newspapers, broadcasters and almost all media.
@@TomCL-vb6xc By no way was I telling you that the rich shouldn't be taxed and never did I put words in your mouth that you wanted a socialist state. Of course the rich evades taxes and that they aren't taxed enough but in this day and age we see the same thing that happened during the soviet era different times and systems or not. Alot of people now a days see it very black and white and its us against them which will only cause more trouble. Tax them yes, and send the ones that evade these taxes to jail for all I care. But at the end of the day it's not hard to realize people are using this as a scapegoat and putting all their blames on the elite with no other reasoning then "they're rich so they're bad lol". No person should own 100 billion and be able to evade taxes or influence voting, media etc. But if 80% of the people blaming the elite can't even formulate an arguement except "rich man bad and we should take their money" then i'm sorry but that reasoning scares me on so many levels.

Have you ever been treated by a doctor who has had all the illnesses he treated? That's exactly how theory works.

Money does buy you happiness in my opinion but not in the way most people would think of. For example imagine buying your mum or dad a new house, a car or something they’ve wished they had, Especially when you have come from poverty money definitely can bring you happiness.
Its so weird that people in the US and Europe who talk badly about capitalism. The ones whom has benefitted greatly from it. Other people that have had socialism all run from it.
Happiness is a matter of perception. Each human being perceived happiness in their own way, so while happiness can’t technically be bought it does allow some the financial safety net to try and achieve happiness. Of course money isn’t a guaranteed method to attain happiness it can certainly help get you closer.
