Lots of folks have grown up in those total crapholes. But those places are filled with happy well adjusted people. Some folks with an awful lot are also full of an auful lot. J Paul getty said a few things worth remembering

#1 I hate to be a failure. I hate and regret the failure of my marriages. I would gladly give all my millions for just one lasting marital success.

#2 I enjoy comfort and luxury. But I do not need to overspend or be wildly extravagant in order to bolster my ego or prove anything to the world.

#3 I have never been given to envy-save for the envy I feel toward those people who have the ability to make a marriage work and endure happily.

He said a lot of other things also but in the end he felt his money didn't matter and did not bring lasting happiness. In fact it brought a great deal of un-happiness. Remember, you never know what goes on behind the closed doors of the so called rich.
