Please excuse the absolutely horrible pun, but this post is "right on the money." (No really. Please excuse that. I'm embarrassed for myself.)

I would even take it a step further. I know that you said some people who have a lot of money are unhappy. Within the milieu in which I find myself on a regular basis, it’s almost a rule that the more money a person has acquired for themselves, the less true inner happiness and contentment they seem to have. It's as they gain monetary wealth, and then, because the marginal value to them of each additional dollar they receive is lower and lower, their bliss point keeps vanishing up over the horizon so they can never reach any stage where they are feeling truly satisfied.

It's almost as if the personality trait that gives them the ability to make so much money (along with that big chunk of lock that is a necessary part of their success financially) is also a curse insofar as that same trait causes them to constantly be looking for the success that is yet to come but which they'll never reach.

To be clear, there are definitely some people who are both very happy and very wealthy, but I’ve found that, typically, these are people who have been happy without the wealth, and that their happiness is mostly derived from other parts of their lives (like you said the spiritual, family, or emotional aspects).

So I really appreciate you bringing this up, especially on a platform which appears to be dedicated to earning money, but which really, in the end, is about so much more than just that.
