    I like to explain it like this: Money is like a pile of firewood and happiness is the fire itself. Just having a pile of firewood won’t make the fire magically apear, but if you have a little sparkle, the more firewood you throw at it the bigger it gets. Money won’t make a depressed person happy but it will increase your hapiness from 0.01 to 100000

      and if you grow up being used to a massive bonfire, you think everyone else also has one too and they are weird for not having one.

      and as you grow up you expect your bonfire to be bigger and bigger and you wonder how anyone else can be happy without that.

      And hoarding all the firewood is a dick move, you got to cut down trees to get it, a little fire warms and comforts but too much consumes and destroys. P deece analogy
