It sounds like a fun challenge. Someone sign me up please. The average downsides of wealth are far better than the average downsides of being poor.
I understand where this article is coming from though and it does a good job of making the point it intends to.
- donkeyd 10y agoI went from being in a 'poor' household to being above average, but not rich by any standards. Luckily, poor in the Netherlands is not the same as poor in the US, also, my parents knew how to handle money quite well, so we managed. A lot of my neightbours, however did not. I've seen what being poor does to health. What it does to behavior towards others, who seem to 'have more', but just spend it differently. What it does to expectations and opportunities of their children. I'm sure that money doesn't make you happy, it often does make you happier than being in the exact same situation without money.
