> Most of the things that can be remedied with money are not the truly painful things of life either.

Have you done the math of what life consists of for most people?

It's 9-to-5. Your life is DOMINATED - by large order of magnitude - by involuntary wage slavery. Where you literally sell away your time for pennies on a dollar to a highest bidder.

That is the most painful thing in life, bar none, there is nothing worse than this. This is what ruins most of your health, ages you the most, causes most of the stress, which seperates you from spending more time with your family and loved ones and being free and doing what you want.

Unless the wage-slavery happens to be of enjoyable type for you. Which is bit of an outlier, lets be honest.

> From having no respect from your peers?

Most people automatically give respect and admiration to people with money, regardless if it's deserved or not.

> Will money save you from heartache? From being lonely?

Being a 9-to-5 wage-slave is ten times worse than heartache or loneliness. Or most other things.

If you're lonely and aren't able to distract yourself from heartache and you have boatloads money, you have SKILL ISSUES of the most severe kind.

Money has brought nothing, but pure joy in my life.

Well said. This place has too many people who have never seen true poverty and people with the life drained out of them working shitty jobs just to be able to eat. Money has also directly lead to more happiness in my life.

In fact, it's almost a direct relationship.

The biggest impact isn't in the material objects it has allowed be to buy, but in the freedom it provides to self-actualize, to pursue activities and build skills that would've been near impossible if it weren't for money.

This, all day long... 9-5 is just the first job of the day if we're lucky.

Then there's the 7 to 2am second job, the 5 to 7 on Saturdays and Every Other Sunday.

Just to not actually have health insurance which is accepted at anything but the worst health care facilities in the region, with a 6 month waitlist for basic check-ups and a 60% fails or cancel for those appointments and reschedule 3 or more months away.

We are all ONE semi-serious illness or injury away from living out of a shopping cart under an overpass.

Money isn't the cure to ALL problems, but if the only problems you have left are the ones that cannot be solved by money, quit whining about being luckier than practically and statistically EVERYONE else. It is unbecoming and makes you look the fool.
