00:00Welcome back sun bro, we hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying
00:08bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about, can money buy happiness, here's what science
00:14says.
00:15Does more money make you happier?
00:17The answer is yes, but it's complicated.
00:19While money can't replace the joy from relationships and experiences, it does affect well being.
00:241.
00:25Why money seems to buy happiness.
00:27Happiness is usually linked to friends, family, and simple pleasures, not money.
00:31But financial security can reduce stress, especially when you're not dealing with poverty.
00:36It's not that people with less money can't be happy, but financial struggles make it
00:39harder.
00:40Many societies equate financial success with a good life, but money alone doesn't guarantee
00:44happiness.
00:452.
00:46Money and happiness, what's the connection?
00:48Money doesn't directly bring happiness, but research shows that financial security boosts
00:52life satisfaction.
00:54Higher income can ease emotional pain and stress, especially in unstable societies.
00:59Recent studies even connect higher income to increased happiness.
01:023.
01:03Limitations of money in achieving happiness.
01:05It's tempting to think a bigger paycheck will lead to a better life, but relying on money
01:08for happiness can backfire.
01:10Chasing financial rewards at the cost of relationships or well being often does more harm than good.
01:15Emotional health thrives on strong connections, and money can't replace meaningful relationships.
01:204.
01:21The role of money in different aspects of life.
01:23Financial security reduces anxiety by covering life's necessities and improving quality of
01:27life.
01:29When you're not stressed about money, you can focus on what makes you happy, like hobbies
01:32and relationships.
01:34While money isn't a direct source of happiness, the peace of mind it provides helps mental
01:38health flourish.
01:395.
01:40Finding happiness beyond money, financial security can ease stress, but true happiness
01:44comes from non-material things.
01:46Building strong relationships, finding purpose, practicing gratitude, and self-care are all
01:51proven ways to boost happiness.
01:53Hobbies like volunteering, spending time in nature, and helping others bring fulfillment.
01:57So yes, money can contribute to happiness, but it's not the only way to a fulfilling
02:02life.
02:03By focusing on relationships, meaningful goals, and self-care, you can create a happier life.
