People seem to equate wealth with materialism, but think of some of things having money allows you to do:

- Donate to causes you care about + get access to influential people to further those causes

- Receive top medical care for physical and mental health problems

- Drop everything to care for or spend time with sick friends and family

- Engage services like lawyers and accountants to make stressful problems go away

I could go on...

And sure, having money is not to going to guarantee things like good personal relationships. But it's a hell of a lot easier when you can throw money at many sources of stress.

Wealth is basically time.

The more wealth you have the more time you have to do things you want to do.
