well, not having a fun fun functional healthcare system is worse for everyone’s health!
If you ever make an irresponsible high depreciation purchase like a BMW, Boat or RV you learn that your peers have a cognitive bias to believing that your finances are the same as their finances. Instead of accepting that you may have more money then them they will choose to believe that you are less responsible, financially illiterate, or just plain dumb.
Male height is loosely linked to greater mental health outcomes, so I think the health benefits are less about not having money, and more about having something that provides social capital. Another way to describe is that having more money, height or anything that others value will improve your relative health.
Be more in debt is not fun . I don’t envy people like that . They don’t have more things but more debts
I’ve known some of my neighbors for years. If I actually had the time to sit around and wonder about their finances, it would be only for a quick moment, thats it. People that do this need to find a hobby.
Humans are intensely social creatures and don’t do well when marginalized (or when they perceived that they’re marginalized) by society. It causes intense stress – for most of our evolutionary history being outcast would have meant certain death. This study basically finds that being on the lower tail of the income distribution is one form of marginalization, and it can negatively impact individuals. Maybe it needed to be spelled out, but there’s nothing too revelatory about that.
Feeling anything in 2024 is bad. Stop having so much feelings! 🤣😂
And I thought actually giving a shit about that difference is the real harm.
Looking at the cars in the garage I‘m pretty sure some people here have more money than me. But why should I care?
There is a great book that came out a few years ago called The Impact of Inequality by Richard Wilkinson. If you find this subject interesting, I can’t recommend that book enough.
I may not have money, but I am richest person I know, for I have family, and I know who my friends are. Money does not buy a true friend or family. In this one thing people who have lots of money are missing out on, for they will never know if their friends and family are true or only there because of their money.
