Unpopular opinion: Money can buy happiness

Truly for me, experiences make me happy, and ti have experiences you need money. Therefore, money buys me happiness. If I could afford to not have to work, be able to travel all the time, and buy all the clothes I want I would be pretty happy like all of the freaking time. What do you think?

Right!!! It’s nice on the ears to say money doesn’t buy happiness but it’s not true. Simply being able to afford all of your bills (because you have the money) should bring happiness.

Unpopular opinion: super long hair isn’t pretty
once hair gets too long, it stops being pretty and just looks heavy, stringy, or hard to manage. Sometimes a nice mid-length or layered cut looks way healthier and way more flattering. Do you agree or do you think super long hair is still gorgeous? #AskLemon8 #LetsChat #UnpopularOpinio

Both Macchiato and latte are the same thing. The only slight difference is that the macchiato isn’t stirred so you kinda have 2 layers while the latte is stirred. Macchiato is more expensive, so why not get a latte (which is much cheaper) and ask the employee to not stir it?? That way you have
