This is also why I kind of hate it when rich people say that money doesn't make you happy. It's true, it doesn't but if you don't know how to pay for your next meal or worse your kids next meal, or you're sick and can't afford good care, then money does make all the difference.

In mathematical terms money might not be sufficient to make you happy, but it's a necessary condition indeed.

Ah thanks for putting it into the necessary/sufficient vocab. Makes so much more sense to explain it that way.
