I think it's a misjudgment on either side. Of course not having money and being stressed out financially would be alleviated by having money, this part is as obvious as drinking water quenching one's thirst. On the other hand when thinking, being solely preoccupied and achieving things only for money's sake eventually leaves one empty, shallow and unhappy. Too much money does change people for the worse, it turns you into a snob if you get carried away in that direction. Plenty of people would be happy if they could make a living and not having to strain themselves or stress out about money matters, all that without needing to be the richest on the block. In that sense when having an unhappy attitude getting hold of a large chunk of money would only temporarily alleviate that unhappiness.
