...apart from serious health issues / terminal diagnoses / infertility / death of loved ones obviously, I know there isn't any amount of money that can help with some things. And that right now, the fact that none of those things apply to me make me very lucky, and I am grateful for that.
But I was just mulling over the general day to day things that are currently pissing me off / stressing me out:
Work is doing my head in atm - wouldn't have to have a job, or could have a job that I actually wanted to do without having to take ££ into consideration
Mildly twatty neighbours - would no longer be an issue as I'd have a house with a chunk of land around it
Idiot dog owners that let their off lead dogs approach my little grumpy dog who just wants to be left alone - we would just roam happily around our own land
I'm overweight and Could Do Better with exercise and diet - I'd have lots of time to plan and cook healthy dinners, get a PT, have a home gym, pool etc
Vague worries about job security etc - we are ok for money at the moment but haven't been in the past, and I'm always low level anxious about it happening again
DM getting older and more demanding - money itself won't help, but I'd have the comfort of knowing I could buy in any help she needs rather than dealing with her current expectation that I'm going to be traversing up and down the country to care for her
House being cluttered and struggling to find a place for things - we'd have a bigger house / more room
Struggling with menopause, confidence etc - I'd have the money for the best healthcare, and the time to spend on my appearance, learning new skills to boost confidence etc
I genuinely can't think of one thing where 'money can't buy you happiness' actually does apply, it might not be able to buy happiness but it would solve an awful lot of problems!
