You always hear the phrase, money doesn't buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it's not really true. I got a new car because the old one's lease expired.

Summary

This quote highlights a reflection on the commonly held belief that money can bring happiness. The speaker initially believes that while money may not buy complete happiness, it can still provide some level of happiness. However, their experience contradicts this notion. Despite buying a new car, which is often seen as a symbol of wealth and comfort, the speaker does not find the expected happiness. This explanation suggests that material possessions alone do not guarantee happiness and challenges society's emphasis on the idea that money can buy happiness.
