A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Once your basic needs are met money can't really make you that much happier. They did a study on a bunch of people and they found that once you have all the needs met you can't buy happiness

Which means that until all your needs are met money actually does buy happiness.
