I think people who have acquired their own wealth are different from those raised with it. I think ‘self-made’ wealthy people are proud of their accomplishment and maybe a little amazed by it, and are still rooted in the values of their upbringing. They are probably as happy or unhappy as anyone else. Some stressors have been lifted, but new ones have taken their place. On the other hand, people I know who were raised with wealth are confused and unhappy, neurotic or even self-destructive. I think wealth can be a terrible handicap for a child. I’ve been both poor and rich, and believe it or not, one doesn’t feel much different from the other. Being rich is nice but is seriously overrated. Being poor (by U.S. standards) is frustrating but not the end of the world. Being poor (by Third World standards) must be hellish.
