It's a matter of balancing out bad with good. If you buy $500 worth of anime on day 1 you will be fuckin insane with happiness. If you do that on day 2... it's great but not as good as the first time... Day 10 and it's getting old, where they fuck you gonna put all the anime?
Buy a mansion, fill it up. Day 20 buy another mansion but not as good as the first mansion.
My point is, the experience degrades. It's impossible for money to bring everlasting happiness.
It is true money can bring happiness, it is most definitly limited. Infact after you have experienced all the money has to offer, you may be more depressed then when you were broke. Because when you were broke you actually had something to want. While when you're rich and you have bought everything, there is nothing left to want or buy = without purpose = depression = no more desire to live.
Now the real question is, after experiencing this insurmountable high on life by spending unlimited amounts of cash, can the "normal" things that you use to do for fun... still please you?
Say you've travelled the world had sex with every type of women 100 times and explored every fetish with them, is the wife back at home still pleasurable? (medaphorically speaking, not that i would do something like this lol)
And people really have no purpose anyway.
