    What? It’s literally the opposite. Do you remember the discovery that owning horses extends your lifespan by several years, not for any merit of its own, but because it strictly excludes the poor and most of the middle class?

    The more money you have, the healthier you are, the longer you live, and the happier you tend to be. It’s straight propaganda that being rich is somehow a burden or requires people of exceptional mental strength to struggle on.

      You’re right, I had only read a few studies and they were focused on sudden wealth. In general, it is neither a predictor or inverse predictor of depression. As you get poor and have to struggle, of course that is a predictor of bad health and sudden changes both up and down is indicated to form depression
