While there are examples of wealthy people getting into drugs or something that destroys them, you don't need money to destroy yourself with drugs there are plenty of dirt poor Appalachians doing that every day. I don't see any evidence of a causal relationship, and this is one of the well known narratives to get poor people to accept being poor. "Rich people are rich because they are so frugal and save every penny" "Being rich doesn't make you happy! Rich people are miserable!" "Rich people work 120 hour weeks and way harder than most people, are you sure you even want to work that hard and sacrifice your family and happy simple life??" "Being rich is less important than being honorable, moral, and religious, in fact being rich makes it harder to be those things so you are better than them actually!" If any of this true people who get rich wouldn't fight so hard to keep it. The reality is that human society is just incredibly cruel and unfair.
