Ragnar’s QotD: Can money buy happiness, or just lease it?

Ever think about how money is just paper and metal?
Yet, we all run after it as if it’s the last piece of cake.

In today’s “Ragnar’s Qotd,” we’re pondering a quirky idea:

Does money buy happiness, or is it more like a short-term loan?

Imagine swapping your prized skateboard for a cookie.
The cookie is yummy, but soon, it’s just a memory. Gone!

Here’s an interesting point: on its own, money doesn’t mean much.
Its value comes from the time people trade to get it.
Picture a game where everyone’s chasing money instead of enjoying time. Folks work extra hours to earn more, hoping to buy things that give them free time. But isn’t it odd?

Working more to get more free time seems like we’re going in circles!

Wealth is in moments, not in currency. Cherish the time, cherish the love. 💖🕰️

What if we chose to work less?
Think about having heaps of time to have fun, discover new things, and relax without a pile of cash.
It’s like preferring a laid-back picnic to a pricey meal that eats up your savings.
Sure, money can bring temporary joy,
like getting a new toy or visiting the zoo.
That joy doesn’t last.
Soon, we’re after more money for the next bit of happiness.
The true, lasting joy comes from simple, free things, like sharing a laugh with a friend or celebrating a great play in a game.

Perhaps the trick isn’t to chase more money but to live with less of it.

Cherish moments that bring true joy,
like laughing,
learning,
and loving.

The best kind of happiness doesn’t come with a price tag.
And that’s the real treasure ❤
