Money is absolutely a key to happiness if you've got your life together otherwise

Money either makes getting your life together drastically easier or drastically harder. Most junkies get clean when their addiction makes it impossible to support themselves financially, causing them to HAVE to get clean because they can’t keep the addiction going. Having enough money to never have to stop one’s self-destructive addiction can ensure one never actually turns their life around. That’s why so many nepo baby trust fund kids are absolute garbage people. They never will get desperate enough financially to have to change in order to survive. There are all kinds of things other than drugs which people can treat as an addiction to avoid facing their problems and fixing them, and money enables all of them.
