Can you people give me a damn good reasons why money isn't everything ?
It gives us the opportunity to do so much, literally any humanly possible thing you want.
Yet I hear some people say this "money won't make you happy" bullshit.
It seems to me that they're just lying about this just to fool other people.
I believe money truly is the answer.

Well you said it yourself, money is the means to an end. If you spend you're entire life trying to make money, you've missed the point. You've been focused on acquiring the means but never achieved the ends.
Not to mention the things that money can't buy. The most significant one of those isn't love, it's health. Good luck enjoying your money if you've let that go.
having more options/choices in life doesnt bring happiness, it actually makes you more stressed. most people dont believe this until they find it out for themselves.
money wont make you happy user
but at least you can cry in your kermit the frog green lamboghini
WHATS THE POINT OF LIVING EVEN
Money will make things easier. You can still get depressed. It will help immensely but it's not the only thing that makes you happy. It should be the catalyst.

Damn straight
Money is only half the equation - money won't make you happy. Even if you constantly hit refresh on your online savings account and see all those digits, unless you're some kind of weird autismo who is excited by numbers what does it do? What does it mean?
The reason why Warren Buffett still is 'in the game' is because he's a fucking weirdo for whom the greatest pleasure in life is researching and buying stocks, that's why he lives like a monk and can't even cook a meal for himself. It's not the MONEY that makes him happy, it's INVESTING that makes him happy.
However, there's a lot of other stuff in life you need money to achieve, or money at the very least multiplies the magnitude of it. The thing is once you 'make it' what are you gonna do with it? The people who say "money won't happy" are right! In the same way that a bong won't make you high, but a bong + weed + taking a rip = niiiiiice feeling [10]
I also have a sneaking suspicion that peopel purley motivated by money are either boring people with no depth to them hence why they are able to fixate over an arbitrary metric as being the single qualitative measure of there entire being, or have massive anxiety and self-worth issues and are stupidly competing for the validation society or some kind of surrogate for some affection they didn't receive when young. There's nothing wrong with being rich and it doesn't make you a bad person, but if all you're about is being rich, you're probably a very boring person. Not that that's what you asked, but I'm throwing that in for some perspective.
TL;DR - Money multiplies your chances of happiness, but one billion multiplied by 0 is still 0
>I don't know why I used the bong analogy, but the one in my head about raw minerals and smelters didn't seem as easy to grasp
Money is only able to give you the freedom to do what makes you happy.
A yacht would be nice, but the enjoyment only lasts so long. I'd rather be on a canoe fishing with my grandfather.
you want to priotize whatever has most value to your goals. That can be your health, a relationship or some passion project. Giving up on these aspects to maximize income will cost you more longterm. We ain't at the level where you can fix any illness with money and you can't pay to rebuild relationships you gave up to work more.
