Material vs immaterial gain
Nope
I think along the lines of the means to obtain the end
To what end?
And why should this be a primary?
Ah
I said stronk yes
I thought it was about the dichotomy
You asked about how to obtain happiness or why I believe money is a major factor to gaining happiness.
So happiness is the end
Happiness being the end
Happiness is always the end
If you have a goal
And achieve it
You get happiness
But to say money is a primary in obtaining this would mean reality contradicts this fact as people with money have killed themselves or suffered mentally
Money is not primary to get happy
But thats a result of other factors
But in this society
Money is power.... but it's lonely at the top
So arent the other factors to be considered
Money is a means to stability. From the baseline of stability you can pursue higher goals

Money is only a tool or an objective societal value
Tools are necessary to hitting goals
Man can barter still without money
money is a store of subjective value
RAAAAAAAAWR
its useful because we are lazy
Money is objective in the context of society
Yes @Grenade123
No ill just act like a korean and eat the tree
Pursuing money for its own sake is like pursuing happiness for its own sake. You're not considering the purpose of a thing
No purpose
is it? its value isn't. @Existence is identity
Just a thing
Stuff has no purpose unless you give it purpose
