"In fact, wealth can actually make life worse. We can use wealth to distract us from our deeper issues by spending money on things we don't need, or worrying about losing our wealth." You'll have those 'deeper issues' when you're poor as well. The difference will be you'll be anxious because you won't be sure if you'll have the money for all of your bills or you'll have enough to feed your family and not worrying if you can afford next luxury car. I see blogs/articles like this pop from time to time. A rich guy (who probably didn't ever experience in his life how it's like to be poor) saying "being rich isn't a solution to all of your life problems". Well, I'm sure it isn't, being rich doesn't equal being content in life, but it sure as hell beats being poor.
