"Their kids are grown if they have any". This is one hell of an assumption. This assumes luck, or money if luck isn't there. Because if older people are unlucky and have no money, they are losing children. All of the people I know who have lost their offspring are either depressed or alcoholic. With money, it depends on where your focus is. If it's still money, then it's sad. But if it's in other people WHILE having lots of money, then you're happy. If you get your priorities straight. The phrase "money doesn't bring happiness" is one of the most silly things I've heard in my life. It's true that money shouldn't be the source of happiness, but it's enough to see all those fundraisers for children in need of medical assistance. In these cases, money can indeed bring a great deal of relief and happiness.
