As the 1978 student showed, a big positive event like a lottery win can impact happiness, but its effects diminish over time Why? Because while a lottery win can make a difference, it won’t affect the other conditions of your life, like who your siblings or parents are or your basic disposition”

Think all you want you’re failing to make the connection.

Yours saying money doesn’t buy long term happiness. Yet a good portion of middle class especially the upper middle class has good money, good savings and a nest egg retirement.

You know what retirement money is? It’s the definition of long term happiness.

You instead of debating that point are bringing up a statistic on a rags to richess story and using that tiny anomaly as your logic back up. This is the same thing you do in every argument - huge logic leap with no facts to back you up or huge generalizations coming from very limited events.

So no, you don’t think.
