Money can buffer stress by enabling the purchase of goods and services that provide help.

“while money truly cannot buy happiness, it absolutely can buffer stress. And in particular, it can buffer stress in the form of the ability to purchase or pay for goods and services, and in particular services.”

“it's true money can't buy happiness but it can definitely buffer stress yeah not all forms of stress and money itself can get people into more stress but anyone that says you know past blank number of dollars there's no incremental increase in happiness I I I just don't see how that could be given inflation and you know that treats humans like linear functions I think that's a simplification”

“being very very wealthy does increase your level I think yeah I mean and for variety of reasons right so you know sure it's a buffer of stress but it also allows you access to lots and lots of uh different things that can make your life just easier right”

“I would argue that indeed money can't buy happiness but it absolutely can buffer stress or certain kinds of stress”
