I was never depressed when I was poor, only when I was pulling in lots of money and spending all week at the office.

I think the main factor is sustainability and stability. I was not very happy when I was hovering around ramen profitability because it was not sustainable.

On the contrary, I've been most depressed when my life was at a complete stable standstill.

I had money. I had sustainability and stability. But I was not happy.

In fact its pretty silly to think either of those things create happiness or are even the precursors to it.

I have never been depressed when I was poor either, but now that I am not I worry about not being able to pay for the fancy schools and activities I send my kids to.

I'll take your money if that will help you with your dire situation.
