> people who presumably “have it all” because they gained financial freedom are often depressed… Is this the case though? I know it’s not your main point, but it’s a premise that I think should be questioned. I can think of reasons why it probably wouldn’t be true, and I wouldn’t be surprised if data indicates that financial freedom correlates strongly with mental health. And I can think of many reasons why this popular notion (that the wealthy are often unfulfilled and miserable) might persist even if it’s not really true in general.
