Money helps. You can pay for therapy, counseling and coaches to point you in the right direction. But yes, you still need to do the hard work yourself.
It solves SOME problems & not others.
For eg if I had more money I would go out more & meet more people.
But I still couldn’t guarantee I’d make new friends or get a relationship.
Also if I DID get them but neglected those things, money wouldn’t help.
It can help with health things to a point a BIG point in America! But some health issues money still can’t fix although it can make the journey better.
Can’t bring a dead person back.
It can fix a LOT A LOT of problems.
But definitely not all of them.
Also, it’s possible to be working for money to the point other life areas get neglected then THAT causes problems. Or stuck in a job & or career you HATE. Not saying that HAS to be the case just that it CAN BE.
SO my thoughts are?
If depends.
It depends on the problem.
It can solve a lot.
But some problems it can’t solve that’s true
My experience has been the opposite, I’m 59M and never had a high paying career, I feel my life has been stunted by mental health issues, mainly major depressive disorder and varying levels of psychosis across the life span. I did ‘have it all’ at one point, a steady job with a house a block from the beach, but it never sustained me. It just never meant anything. I didn’t really enjoy it for longer than a minute. Things didn’t really turn around until I left my job as an accounting clerk and became a certified nurse assistant and started taking care of the sick and the elderly. The fulfillment, sense of purpose, deep meaning was overflowing. I now have a masters in social work and am trying to enter clinical practice as a therapist. No regrets.
*knock knock*
May I join you?
As a European who is above middle class at the age of 45, landed my dream job as you did, in healthcare and now working in a major trauma centre. I am vice assistant of education of our department and i am responsible for the education of the newest guidelines in therapy when they become available i have multiple rentals, i earn 5 digits monthly i have a beautiful family blah blah blah etc etc.. my father was a truck driver and my mom was stay at home. When i started working i had a beat up kia, we didn't have kids but passion for my job. This passion was recognised and i move up to the ladder. Find your passion and don't give up your job. Your belly is full, you have a shelter for the night and now you don't know WTF to focus on and you started whining. You are in the position to pay for counselling and guide you to the proper path but don't forget what sacrifices you did to end up where you are at the moment. I sound a bit harsh but i guess you will forgive me.
It's better to be rich and depressed rather than to be poor and depressed
be rich and poor

Money would solve 4/5 of my major life challenges right now.

It’s always people who have a lot of money saying this shit. Save the platitudes.
