I noticed that people who have the ability to have either everything or very little can be happier having very little. People who don't have the financial means to have anything they want may not get the same joy out of having very little.
Someone once told me that there are some homeless people in Berkeley who actually have trust funds but find the homeless experience liberating. Not sure how true that is.

But the funds come with strings: stop doing drugs, stop being gay, go in to the family business, etc. The liberation is having an autonomous life from controlling family, not the act of being homeless.
