Hippos are killing the whole evolution thing. I’ve thought about species going extinct never about species too good at being fed.

I double agree with both of you @LevelJ1 and @Zoe. Depression and sadness is fleeting.
This was brought home to me yesterday. I was feeling depressed and suicidal when I went for a swim at my apartment complex’s nice, nearby pool. At the end of a 25 minute swim, my sadness was gone.
If I hadn’t had the financial resources to live where I was, and have access to a pool, my mood just might have stayed depressed, and who knows what?
I’ll choose riches and sadness anyday.

Poor is a relative term. You can be poor and have your basic needs supplied or you can be so poor that they aren’t.
If my basic needs were met, I would rather be relatively poor and happy than rich and unhappy.

Rich is also a relative term. You can be rich with half a million or you can be Elon Musk.

True. I think there is a point where money doesnt matter that much anymore. If I had a couple million dollars I dont think I would strive for more unless I wanted to employ people or give it away. I dont strive to own expensive yachts and private jets. If I had enough money to live comfortably the rest of my life and maybe leave an inheritance to relatives, that would be enough for me.

I think that would be enough for almost everybody.

I would rather be rich and happy, though I don’t think being rich would make me happy. I don’t want to be poor. I want to keep my house and my car. There is the very real possibility of me being poor when my husband dies.
