The cynic in me thinks: most of the things on that list are most easily acquired if you have money.

Well yea, it's the luxury that underpins most of the other ones on this list. The real luxury is not having to worry about money so you can focus on things like this. A luxury that is increasingly out of reach..

I agree, for at least some listed, though many people blow past the amount of money actually needed. Money starts as a proxy measure for attaining these things, but it eventually replaces them as the goal, per Goodhart's law.

Sure, but it also depends how much money you need, which is in your control to a certain degree.

I humbly disagree a bit. Most items on that list do not have to cost a lot of money (besides a washing machine and a dishwasher) and some of them cannot be bought. It is also a mindset. I adore slow weekends.

Most of them are also easily pissed away if you have money. It cuts both ways.

“People who love you back” is harder if you truly have money.

Maybe. But I can think of some very wealthy people who do not have these luxuries.
