I've never understood how money can buy you happiness. It can only buy you options.
I've come from a wealthy family; my father makes lots of money, I've been given a very large allowance since I was 13 ($500/month) and my dad already set aside money to pay for my college tuition.
However, my father was always attached to his business and as a result I've never had a father figure in my life. He also lied to me and fathered two children in secret, who I never learned about until I was 12. A girl I've always dearly loved was never mine. I've also found a lack of purpose in my life. And, most importantly, money does not allow you go back in time.
