Deep dives
Money's limited role in happiness
Having money does play a role in independence and autonomy, but it plays a smaller role in overall happiness than many assume. Happiness is found in things like loving family, health, friendship, and a sense of purpose, which money cannot guarantee. The downsides of wealth, such as marital problems and isolation, can be more jarring than expected when the benefits are so obvious. The relationship between money and happiness is tenuous, and realizing this can be a painful admission.
