I have enough money to do whatever I want but I don't hate my life :-) I can say that money isn't what makes a difference though; I did live hand-to-mouth for 15+ years and used public mental health services, etc.

It's the attitude/perspective that makes a difference, not the money or even its convenience. One is who one is whether that's rich or poor. It's not easier to be that person just because one has money, in some ways, in fact, it can be harder because one can't use the work of making a living/eating, as an "excuse".
