Once you get past your basic needs (food/shelter/warmth) it depends how much you value materialistic things. The trouble is so many people struggle with the basics and life is really hard without the money to do that.
Beyond that it’s all bollocks. Society judges you based on the type of car you have or clothes you wear or house or own but some of the more affluent people I have met and known in my life work all hours/drive shit cars/dress like a tramp/live in a nondescript house/never go on holiday (in my view a waste of having cash, donate it all if you won’t spend it). And equally some I have met and known own mansions, Ferrari’s/etc, flash the cash (£300k on a birthday party in Vegas flash) and so on. None of it really matters. I’ve always said I swap my money for memories, these are the things you remember on your deathbed
