That’s the point she’s making.

Yes, happier. Much less anxious over personal situation. Anxiety would be primarily about effectively using my new wealth/power to make world a better place and save it from the various problems that beset it, and balancing this duty that comes w/wealt& power against desire 4 fun

Is this thread a joke? It’s not that people ignore that wealthy people still have problems. It’s that everybody has problems — wealthy people have fewer. Everyone has some chance of having anxiety. If you live paycheck to paycheck, you almost certainly do.

I don't know that people want a world in which they have more money than you could spend in many lifetimes. I do know that 44% of full-time working Americans make 18K or less and there isn't a state in which someone making 15K (min wage) can afford to rent market-rate 1-bdrm apt

You've never been poor.

I haven't? I must have hallucinated my memories of being hungry but unable to afford food

Lame hot take. Yes you have ‘anxiety’ but you have warm food and a roof over your head and more resources than 99.99% of humans ever with which to fix yourself.
