Having money is better than not having money. Because with money you can spend it or give it to those who need it
28 year of age, I'm living in a 1,5 mill $ penthouse. I can say I have a good financial status. But I've been through it all. I've been poor. I've had days when me and my family were having fights over food. From my experience, it is much better to be rich(or at least financially stable). But only if you get rich the hard way! Trust me, I can live without the money. But the satisfaction you get when you achieve something hard, something that few people manage to achieve... that's a great feeling. If you're thinking of money as some kind of lottery win or falling out of a tree or raining $$ then for sure you're gonna be miserable even if you're filthy rich.
My life would probably be about the same. Maybe with a few more luxuries but I'd probably just end up sitting on the money.
