Of course not. But I used to know a group of guys who were born fabulously wealthy. None of them were happy. For them to get a job it would be essentially working for free relative to the wealth they have. I'm sure there are people out there who would find meaning in creating art of some type, or turning their fortune into an even bigger fortune, but I suspect those people are rare. | ||

> None of them were happy That's because they're human, not because they're filthy rich and have all the privileges in the world. If it were that simple they could give all their money away and get a job at Walmart to find perfect happiness. | ||

The people I know who do not have to work to ensure healthcare for their kids seem happier than the ones who do have to work. Being able to go on vacations for extended durations or at convenient times is also heavily utilized. | ||
