Money does NOT equal happiness

[Bryan James]

Okay, I'm not here to say that the rich are evil, capitalism sucks, money is the root of all evil, or to bash entrepreneurs or money in any way whatsoever. I personally know a plethora of multimillionaires who suffer from chronic depression, bitter divorces, people who are serious alcoholics, etc. They are great at making and growing money and understand the game, but it constantly reinforces my belief that money in and of itself is not a guarantee of happiness. Again, not to bash capitalism or anything even remotely of the sort, I understand that these sad millionaires are still happier and healthier for having the money than not having it. I just feel happiness seems to be more a result of particular inner positionalities and ways of dealing with (and looking at) life. What do you folks think? My apologies if the title was a bit too "click-bait"y.
