    Money itself doesn’t bring happiness, though, it’s just one way of removing roadblocks to happiness.

    A person suffering emotional distress and depression won’t suddenly be cured when handed a sack of money. Especially if the distress and depression isn’t financially motivated.

    Our society is particularly monetarily motivated, so a lot of barriers in life are financial. But they are not all the barriers to happiness that exist.
