Money, indeed, does not bring happiness, but it acts extremely comforting.
And I 100% agree with that.
Money doesn't buy happiness
BUT
Only above a certain amount.
It's hard to be happy if you can barely pay your bills, and have to constantly think about how you can survive and provide for your family.
So the most happiness I've got was when I started making above $5000 per month.
I didn't have to think about bills anymore.
I had FULL FREEDOM of choice.
I was finally able to just buy a plane ticket today, and be in a different country tomorrow, just for fun.
Without thinking about how it'll impact my budget.
And when my salary reached $ 10,000, of course, it was nice. But I didn't become happier.
Maybe I can save more money, but life looks pretty much the same, as it was at $5k.
If Money Doesn't Buy Happiness, What Does?
I'll be honest with you, it's a hard question, and I'm not sure.
Right now, I truly become happy because of 2 things:
I learned how to enjoy the moment. The cup of nice coffee, the smile of people that I love, time spent with friends. This brings joy and happiness to my life.
I help other people to learn programming and go through the same path I took myself. I think this is my next big goal (the previous one was to get to $10k/month).
I want to mentor as many people as possible and help them to change their lives thanks to programming. That brings sense to my life.
But you should find what makes you happy yourself.
And the only way to do it is to try as many things in life as possible.
Most things cost money, so yeah, money doesn't buy happiness,
but without it, it will be hard to find it.
Conclusion
If you were to take one main thing from this email, it would be:
Until you gonna reach $3000 - $5000 per month, it's very hard to be truly relaxed and happy (especially in developed countries like Europe).
So stop complaining, take control over your life, learn a high-paying skill, and your future self will be thankful to you for that.
You don't have to become a millionaire, but if you want to feel safe about your life and have freedom, you need to spend some time building a skillset that will help you to make that money.
For me this skill was PROGRAMMING, and it truly changed my life.
