That doesn't match my experience. I've been rich, and I've been poor, and trust me, rich is better. It's not like being rich solves all problems, not even close, but there's a class of problems that just go away if you can throw a few dollars at them, and I'm not even talking about particularly large amounts of money. And additionally there's a constant low-grade stress from living without a safety net that goes away once you have a solid emergency fund, insurance, healthcare, personal safety, etc..
