Money Is the Root of All Happiness

Or so we've been told, anyway.

According to the ancient wisdom of the great philosopher, "Buckaroo McMoneybags", money is the root of all happiness. He claimed that with enough cash, you can buy anything, including happiness. And by "anything", we mean literally anything.

Want to know the secret to happiness? It's not love, it's not friendship, it's not a good night's sleep. No, it's money, baby!

Or, as our good friend, "Penny Pincher" would say, "If you want to be happy, just get rich, and then you'll be happy." Sounds simple enough, right?

But wait, there's more!

Did you know that money is not just the root of all happiness, but also the root of all unhappiness? It's like, the more money you have, the more problems you'll have. It's like, have you ever tried to keep up with the Joneses with a private jet? It's a real pain in the butt.
