Money can't buy happiness, but it does make the sad times easier.

Not really: if one is happy with money then gets sad, money doesn't help it. Poor people think that money fix sadness but that's not true. A meaningful life brings happiness, poor or rich

In real world, money not fix sadness :)

Poor people do not think money fix sadness lol. They just think it fixes a lot of the things that does make you sad, like not being able to pay rent, afford a meal for upper family, buy christmas presents for your kids, pay to get your car fixed. etc.

I've been poor for a long time. Trust me, daydreaming about money fixing all the problems is one of the biggest if not the biggest time killer/entertainment.

What I noticed climbing the ladder is that some people are happy and some people are sad independently of the income. And if much it seems that I met happier people in general when I was poor than now. I was happy in my poorest time and I'm still happy, which helps me see through it without the constraints of money.

I'd rather be rich and sad than poor and sad.

money can't buy happiness, indeed, but it's more comfortable to cry in a leather chair inside a mercedes, than on the bus.

Yes, that's the point I'm trying to make.
