Well rich people demonstrably have better mental health as far as happiness than those struggling to pay bills or in even worse situations... So... Kinda' a distinction without a point.

    Do POTUS, Musk, Thiel, Yarvin SEEM happy or healthy to you?

    Epstein or Max? How about the girls on the island? Go look at photos.

    Now consider social media influencers. The little boy that is in the iconic photo hugging the cop.

    Now consider what we know beyond the way it looks.

    There's persona and personality. They are not the same things.

    Can wealthy people be happy and healthy? Maybe, if they're actually good people and never look too deeply at the family wealth, or if they're not too developed, in certain ways.

    Congratulations, you've utterly and completely missed the point about how money creates ample room for happiness. Whereas not having money creates stress and awful situations.

    Again, congratulations on completely and utterly missing the point.

    AFAIK you're kinda wrong about that. Research suggests that money improves happiness only to a certain point. Once you got the basic meets met it doesn't really matter anymore.

    People in poorer countries often live happier lives compared to those in rich ones.

    Yeah because I'm living a completely lux life. ๐Ÿ™„ I'm angry but not bitter or depressed anymore.

    Eta: in fact, despite my personal challenges, I'm pretty mentally healthy and decently happy, most of the time. I have my moments but they're not consuming me. I quit playing the victim card and started playing the victim victory hand.
