I don't know that this is correct...My daughter and family are very well off--don't know that they are wealthy, but they CERTAINLY live a life alien to what I've known! And what they have, they got it together! This is their second marriage, each, and seem to know themselves so much better than when they were younger. Their CHOICE of partner was made not only upon "love" but LIKING, shared values, interests and goals! Each have their own successful business which gives an "equality" in creating their lives and home. Three terrific little kids also add to the mix and their happiness! Not that they won't/don't have to work on communication, sharing and finding TIME together and with family, but they work it out TOGETHER! I think, most amazingly! Happiness is a great deal being with the person you not only love, but respect, admire and equally share one's life with!! NOT the amount of money. Certainly having "not enough" to subsist on, makes a lot of stress and unhappiness--but it's your PARTNER and a sense of TOGETHERNESS AND HOPE that makes the happiness!

I'm not sure about the wealthy people you know. Most of the one's I know are pretty happy. As for the never being satisfied I think that's how they got wealthy. I'm content to kick back and just relax, answer a few questions. Most of them on the other hand are thinking about what they could be doing. Many of them work between 60 and 80 hours per week. They are just internally driven.

They become bored and life begins to lose it's meaningfulness. People need goals to shoot for in life, otherwise their life would have no purpose. Wealthy people experience this alot because they have the money to do just about anything they want, and get anything they want, so they begin to feel like they have nothing to accomplish anymore in their lives. Material possesions are beginning to lose their thrill because they've experienced having anything they want for so long. This is when they need to shift their lives from trying to gain more material possesions, and begin to gain EXPERIENCES. This is what will give their lives meaning and purpose again.

The answer to that is actually in the Bible... (1 Timothy 6:10) "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains."

misery is a personal and social attitude/perception created by conditions of society and person to person realization.
when misery is an affectation of any person that person may/will envision the conditions of society as misery creating. but not all less than joy creating conditions/realizations are truly known to an individual whether rich or poor.
wealth is only relevant if it is admissable to the consciousness which considers it.
poverty likewise . .....
there is much responsibility with wealth and wealth creation which is not realized by others...and there is much responsibility with society and society creation which is not realized by most.
wealth is not the purpose of many which are miserable.
poverty is not the cause of wealth creation for the rich.
a mind is happy when the soul is realizing purpose.
the body agrees.

*sings* I was seeing on TV, read in a magazine, celebrities who want sympathy, all they do is piss and moan inside the Rolling Stones talking about how hard life can be. Wish I could see them in the streets living life out on the streets I dont think they would survive, and if they could spend life in somebody's else's shoes i think they would stumble and they'd fall, they would fall.
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous, they're always complaining ALWAYS complaining. If money is such a problem, well they got mansions, think we should rob them.

Based on what evidence?
Don't use the half dozen rich and insane females that are always in the media, they aren't a representation of wealthy, they are a representation of spoiled.
Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs, Meg Whitman, Oprah Winfrey etc. etc. etc.
Do those folks appear miserable?

they try to buy happiness with "stuff" . Most of our happiness comes from thing like being loved, being appreciated, working hard for things we need. A lot of wealthy people don't have any of that.

B/c money can't buy happiness. You have to make a choice to be happy.
