    I work in one of those careers where you’re either employed, stressed out beyond belief, working 12-18 hours a day but making a ton of money… Or you’re unemployed and freaking out wondering when the next job is coming. Poverty is a lot easier for people without kids. Once you’re a parent it’s terrifying to lose your health coverage.

    Some wealthy people are never satisfied, always want more. Others, like Bill Gates become philanthropists. I’m low income and it’s simply true that people with more money (not super-rich, just upper middle class) have access to better health care, dental care, psychological care. They can afford a more nutritious diet. They can be less stressed out by hiring someone to do their housework, cooking, etc. They can afford cosmetic surgery to make them feel younger and more attractive. They can afford newer cars and homes in safer neighborhoods. They don’t have the chronic worry about affording the basics. They can afford private schools and college educations for their kids. They can afford to go to the gyms and work out. Can money buy happiness? Not exactly, but it can certainly
