None of us here have allusions that happiness automatically comes with travel and seeing the world and it can't happen if you stay in the same place. However having access to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING for a long time has its fucking access to happiness a lot easier than being poor does. If you don't think so than you haven't been rich or you haven't been poor long enough to 'get it' yourself....
Couldn't having access to anything and everything work to make it actually worse?

If a person is depressed or has some other issue that could lead them to suicide, sure having money and access could help them find happiness for a while, but then once you have seen and done everything it feels like knowing there is nothing left out there to make you happy could be worse.
