Exactly.

While having money solves some problems it creates more, even worse, problems in my opinion. You start having to watch who you hang around, new people that come into your life may not be interested in you, but your 'haves'. Money will start changing the opinions of your inner circle of friends. Before they hated to ask you for $20, now they are asking you for $1500 on a regular basis. When they do not pay you back when promised, you get the "you can afford it", whcih then strains the friendship.

Just one of many other examples.

If you are unhappy without money, you will be unhappy with it as you build yourself a golden prison.
