Rich people are doing fine.
These people don’t get depressed even when things are bad. Learn their secret to staying healthy
Honestly, your average rich person would probably be happier if the world didn't suck so much. They're just too greedy/dumb to know it.
Such is the human condition and one reason why we will never come together as a species. It's not in our genes to cooperate on a global scale. Unfortunately, we simply can't wrap our heads around taking care of billions of people in any meaningful way. So, here we are.
Have you seen rich people? We'd think they'd be doing fine but the consistently find other reasons to be miserable.
Too much transactionalism, maybe?
Please don't take my word for this since I can't seem to dig up the study itself, but do you believe in that one study that says happiness plateaus at $80k annual income?
That is some high grade copium right there.
People with money can afford cost in both time and money for therapy...
