And we wonder why mental health numbers are sky high? This stupid notion that having a shit ton of money is the be all of life is part and parcel of those stats.

Looks are deceiving and the need to be keep up with the other assumed wannabe's is at the expense of real happiness and with horrible consequences. You can have the car, the house and the vacations but it is materialistic bs.

The other way to think is stop comparing and wanting...be honest and appreciate what you have. Money isn't everything.

So, yes - you raised some good points!
