In a completely unsurprising story out of Manhattan, NY, the words “money isn’t everything” were just spoken at brunch by someone who, conveniently, has lots of it.

    I mean, if I wanted to be charitable about this, a person who has a lot of money is exactly the kind of person to know that money isn’t everything, because they would presumably have the experience of still having problems or wants or still being unhappy sometimes even in spite of their money. That isn’t to say that money doesn’t mean a lot of things even if not everything though, or that someone telling someone without enough money to not require a job to live and spend frivolously to not worry about money isn’t out of touch for not understanding that some of the things that money can buy are essentials required to live one’s life in the first place.

      I agree, I see the concept that the headline means to convey, but the author missed the mark. The better version would be: ‘Money Isn’t Important,’ Says Person Who Has It.
